Saturday was a great day as I got to help a church distribute John and Romans and invitations to church to every home in Douglas, WY. We are praying that the Lord will use His Word to pierce hearts and draw them to Himself. May many accept the invitation to grow and fellowship with this church that has a desire to bring people to Christ!

Last Wednesday we spoke at a church in Casper, Wyoming. It was exciting to have about 20 teenagers as well as the adults. A friend of ours who goes to college in Casper and attends this church on Wednesdays was excited that a college classmate finally came with him for the first time that night after weeks of invites. He even said they had been talking about the brain's ability to remember things on the way to church. The presentation we gave that night was on Remember Now Thy Creator and talks a lot about memory and the brain as well! I'm so grateful for an all-knowing God and trust that He will continue to work in hearts and minds to draw people to Himself and His ways.

Praise God for another great Sunday here in Wyoming, yesterday! Dad shared a quick overview of Creation2Christ in Sunday school followed by a condensed "Designed on Purpose" presentation. Our family was able to sing for the morning service before Mom and I took the children downstairs for a creation day lesson in children's church. That evening we spoke "back to back" at two churches in town! We shared "Remember Now Thy Creator" at Douglas Baptist and then Bryan shared "Dino Tracks" at Calvary Baptist where we had been for the morning services. That afternoon I was feeling awful (tummy ache?), but God showed Himself strong and allowed me to do my part of setting up and running the PowerPoint, singing, and acting in skits for both services. God is good!

God commands the snow to fall!
It sure did come down outside of Douglas, Wyoming yesterday! Beautiful and ever so cold! 

When I think about the fact that no two snowflakes are exactly alike, I have to agree with Job. I can't comprehend God's great ability and endless design!





"God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength." Job 37:5-6  

Had a good meeting in Gillette, WY on Wednesday night. Great turn out of children and adults. May the Lord continue to remind all who came that they are designed on purpose. May we all yield to His purposes daily.

Sunday was a wonderfully full day here in Wyoming! We enjoyed hearing another missionary we know present the work he felt called to during Sunday School. Our family sang for the morning service and then Mom and I taught children's church. After lunch at the church we stuffed 4,000 door hanger bags with John and Romans, church invites, etc. From there we walked across the street to sing at the nursing home and ended up visit with a gentleman who lives there until it was time to run to another church's 5:00 service. We then raced to slip into the 6:00 service (we were a bit late) of yet another church where we stayed and visited with the people and pastor and his wife for an additional hour and a half. It is wonderful to see the way the Lord is working in the churches in this area. One has a new pastor that is on fire to reach every home in Douglas, one had just had a wonderful, heart challenging missions conference where they saw two souls saved, and one has made great strides in their building project since we were there two years ago and is seeing families added and steps of growth in those attending. What a mighty God we serve! We will be doing presentations in two of these churches next Sunday as the Lord allows. 

Looking back over the three summer months, we thank God for His faithfulness, for the spiritual growth we saw in so many, and for the twenty-two children we saw make professions of Jesus as Saviour during the ten VBS’s and one camp this summer. More than 335 children came to VBS and camp this summer to be taught the King of My Castle curriculum. We had more than 550 people involved, including teens and adults.

It was exciting to share the glory, victory, power, greatness, and majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is King over all kings and over all His creation; and to challenge each one to make Him truly their personal King. One day everyone bow the knee to Him. We pray that all those that heard the message of King of My Castle will submit to Him for salvation and service before it is too late.

It was great to watch as many of our hearers realized for the first time that dinosaurs were called dragons, and yes, people did see and interact with dinosaurs. We did not live millions of years apart. Dinosaurs were created by God; they were not a product of time and chance. It was exciting to praise God together for His creation as He has commanded.

It was a blessing to work with each church and see the people get involved by helping us set up and decorate the church, being willing to wear royal and knightly costumes, bravely acting out the dragon legends, taking pictures,
helping with the children in registration, nuncheon, tutelage, and tournament time, and helping with tearing down and packing up! The encouragement and care we received were uplifting throughout the summer. 

Praise our Creator King for showing that He is still on the throne and actively working to draw hearts to Himself!
