We have decided to up-date once a week now unless things really get to hopn' around here.
Wednesday evening we went with Pastor Leiter (of Lakeview CRC) to St. Francis. He has been visiting some of the Native families in the area and he asked us if we would go along. He is concerned with the fact that he is leaving (retiring as of Sept.) and the contacts he has made might get lost. We stopped in at 5 different homes. We were invited into John Swifts' home - Pastor had never been there before......... At another place we visited with Anthony. He was a Vietnam veteran and had just had shoulder surgery. He was very friendly and Pastor Leiter said he and his wife had a lot of questions about God. We also stopped in at Lynelle Hairy Shirts home. Her grandson Jon Knox lives with her and he was one of our campers. They go to church in St. Francis but have expressed an interest in a Bible Study. Lynelle's sister wants to come also but she has a very busy schedule working at the hospital.
On Saturday evening we took 10 young people to a "Rap Concert" in Mission. It was put on by "Life Light" - a Christian organization out of Sioux Falls. The message the rapper gave was really good and 5 people answered his invitation to receive Christ into their lives. I guess we really aren't "rappers"!!! but the kids really like to get out and this was a good place to take them. We had the 4 Lakeview girls stay overnight and then we all went to church this morning. They are all members of LCRC and also my cousins girls.
Some of you probably still have your "kids pictures" from last year. The ones we took with us to the concert were: Mark and Tyler Left Hand Bull, Jesse and Timothy Cordier, and Jon Knox. We are hoping to have a scrapbooking party with some of the girls but that date hasn't been set up yet. We do hope to get a new set of photos sent out to you ......I just have to get busy and do it!!!! It is a wonderful way for you to be involved in the lives of these kids and we hope you will continue praying for all of them!!!! So if I fail to do this REMIND ME!!!
Thank you for your continued support and prayers!!
Love. Gary and Barb

You are amazing! God may be taking you to places you never dreamed of. I think your hearts are so open to God's leading that no place seems uncomfortable or intimidating anymore. Thanks for sharing stories of souls being saved.
Blessings to you this week and what may lie ahead.
