Lots of encouragement......

We have some really good things to share with you......

Tyler Left Hand Bull will be making profession of his faith in Lakeview Church on August 23....that's next Sunday. It's just so awesome to see God at work!! Tyler indicated at camp this summer that he wanted to ask Christ into his heart. We remembered that he had done so last year....... So we talked with him about the fact that he was doing the "g r o w" Go to church and Sunday School.....Read your Bible......Obey was the Bible says......Witness So we said maybe making profession of faith is the next step for you. This has been a wonderful community affair....so many people working with Tyler and encouraging him in his walk with God. Please keep Tyler in your prayers.....and his family. They will be bringing him to church next Sunday and this will be the first time for them in our church.

Also ---- we have started up again at the Alcohol Treatment Center in Rosebud....with teens. When we arrived this past Tuesday evening we were given a wonderful reception. We knew all of the kids from being in the JDC previously. It was so much fun to see them again. They were eager to sing too.....we really made a joyful noise!!!! There was a sign on one of the doors "please be quiet - class in session"...... I'm afraid we were NOT very quiet!!!

And then ------ this past Thursday at the JDC we had 3 boys pray with us to receive Christ. Riley, Thomas, and Jeremy. Then on Sunday we found out that Riley has a little one year old daughter. In fact, we got to see little LaShay --- she was there with her Gramma and Auntie. However, she didn't get to go in to see her daddy --- there needs to be special permission for a little one like that. PLEASE pray for his very young father!! He told us that he wants to take her to Sunday School. And we will be giving him a Toddler's Story Bible - just for her!

And then on another note.......just at the right time we received an email of encouragement from one of the directors of the Treatment Center. God knows what we need !!!!!

Thank you for your continued support!!
