September is here, and with it, the first breath of autumn. We have been traveling in the northern midwest and mountain states, and I personally have found the cooler weather quite a relief from the brutal heat of summer we have experienced so far this year.
We had the privilege of being a part of Opening Revival at Ambassador Baptist College in late August, and we are so excited about what God is doing there. It is always a joy to spend time with the students and to fellowship with the faculty as well as with numerous friends who still live in the area.
Two weeks ago, we were in Brookings, SD, where we had the privilege of seeing a young man from South Dakota State University in the morning service. After the gospel was clearly presented in the message, he walked the aisle and trusted Christ! We are always excited to see souls trust Christ in our meetings.
This week we are in Sheridan, WY, and Paul has been able to do some hunting. So far, we have two deer for our freezer, and he is currently out with Esther, who is hoping to get her first deer this year (we are all very hopeful for her sake). The meat that we get from hunting goes a long way to fill our freezer for the coming months, and we are grateful for God’s provision in this manner.
In addition to holding meetings, we are staying busy with school, and trying to cram in some family activities as well. Earlier this month, we had some issues with our trailer slide out, but after several days of tedious work and scrambling for parts, Paul and Josiah were able to complete the repairs. The ability to fix it ourselves is quite a blessing, since every time we have to take it in to a dealership or service center to be repaired, it means a total disruption of our daily life for several days, if not weeks.
It will not be long before we turn our rig towards home, where we will stop for a few days to pick up some warmer clothing for the coming winter months and also to have Josiah’s senior pictures taken before heading out again for the rest of the year. The Lord has blessed us with a full schedule, and as we travel, we covet your prayers for safety and fruitfulness in ministry.
