Car Wash at Church

We had a car wash today at the church. Dusty and Kristi held signs that said free car wash!   We were able to meet some people from our target area.

Ministry Needs for Sand Lake Fellowship

Ministry needs for Sand Lake Fellowship are a Youth Leader/Pastor and a base guitar player.  We have an urgent need for at least one 15 passenger van.  It would be great to get the word out about this in case God lays it on someone's heart.

Sunday Evening Service - Prayer Requests

Sunday evening we had the same group as last week.  Check out my Facebook for a short video.  We had a great time of Praise and worship. Our leader is all in with us now, he comes from a sister church in our association that has plenty of talent and people to pick from. He feels called to work with us on this "Church plant."
We went from 5-9.  We had music/singing, prayer time, more music, then we visited until everyone left, I still got home before dark!

Tuesday night "Outside the Walls" (OTW) went really great.  Outside the Walls is now what we call any function not held at the church. Right now this is being held at McDonald's on Tuesday evening.  At OTW this time, we talked with a bunch of people and prayed with a several. The interest seems to be building with those we approach.  Please keep praying for God to move in great ways and help us get close to these kids.  

Another prayer request is to pray for God to help us in a mighty way with a van to transport these kids.  I just found out the van I was going to get from Texas is no longer available. God will provide!

Please also be in prayer for these two things: youth pastor/leader - church planter intern (an NAMB position). Also as already mentioned, be in prayer for transportation for the youth ....van.....
Thank you all so much for your prayers.

Updated Overview

April 6th Sand Lake Fellowship Church Plant started services at 3340 Raspberry Road. The Filipino Bible Church has graciously allowed us to meet in their facility at 6 p.m. on Sundays. Our first night we had four in our praise and worship team and they did a great job!  If anyone is looking for a place to serve using their musical/vocals talent for praise and worship we meet at 5 p.m. for practice.  Right now we still need another acoustic or electric guitar and a violin.  Our service is contemporary. 
 
On Tuesday nights at 6 p.m. you can find us at the Mc Donald's on the corner of Dimond and Jewell Lake Road for "Outside The Walls"  This is our midweek service.  We all meet at the restaurant and have a devotional or Bible study and pray and talk about life application of scripture in our everyday walk. This is growing and we want to add some P&W songs with acoustic guitar to it.  Pray that this will happen!  My idea here is that most people don't go to Church, so we will take the Church to them, we'll keep you posted.

Love you,

First Night at Filipino Bible Church

We have to share this. Tonight was our first night at FBC.  We gained a keyboard/piano player today. They are playing and beginning to sound pretty good practicing before Church.   We have about as many praises on our list as we do prayer requests.  I call out all the praises then #1 on the prayer request list is a base player for the band which I have prayed for.  There is a young lady and her mom who has just showed up.  When she heard this she says My daughter plays all instruments and God just told me to come here tonight!  Oh yeah and she sings exceptionally.  Check out the picture below, from left to right, KC, Dusty, Buck and Jessica.  Also, check out the video following the still photo.


God bless,

It will all happen as God wills



We went to the pool hall again Tuesday night. I was able to talk with a few folks and invited a half dozen or so to Church. We then went to our old standby McDonald’s across the street. There we were able to engage at least twelve people. 

I had the privilege of presenting The Truth to a late teen’s guy there. It was a really good one! I made a decision that we will stick with McDonald’s from now on for our midweek service. There are just way too many people in and out for us to do it anywhere else; also it is free to get into McDonald’s. 

The young man I was talking to? His eyes were welling up, I know The Lord was working there, we will see him again. He had a girl with him that was totally pulling him away, but he continued to listen and read the scripture from my Bible. She had to literally pull him away from us. There is a lot of irony there isn't there?  

We start at the FBC this Sunday night, please pray we will be ready and all will go well. Thank you so much for your prayers.  Came home yesterday and went to bed at 6 p.m. exhausted.  I have pastor classes tonight.

I got a bit of bad news from the battle front. True North Church plant downtown has closed; they are the group sponsored by Moberly out of Longview.  They were trying to reach the service workers downtown with a Monday night service but closed it after 12 months or so for lack of interest and combined back to the midtown place.

In the field with love for Jesus,
