New update

Hi everyone,

It has been a month since I last updated the blog...sorry for the delay, but God has definitely been at work!

It has been a great month...we have been heavily involved with bringing the movie Fireproof to Rapid City.  Already over 3100 people in the area have seen this awesome film.  Hills of Grace went together as a church family to see it.  It is already having impact on marriages in our area.  I have a lot of great stories about how God has been at work with Fireproof in our area!

Tonight Hills of Grace had 20 in attendance!  It was a special evening as Justin, Jennifer, and Josiah Dancer were with us.  Justin is prayerfully considering becoming the planter pastor for Hills of Grace.  Pray that he follows whatever God may want in this situation.  We had a great night of worship...Joe and Bob did a fantastic job tonight.  In fact, there was a new excitement for worship tonight that we had not seen yet.  

Last weekend Connie and I were in New Orleans to be commissioned as NAMB missionaries.  We had a great time...and came home to much cooler temps.  But South Dakota definitely is home...we really missed it while we were gone.

This week several churches from Texas came up and we took them on a vision tour of the area, showing them both existing churches and places that we need to start new works.  Pray as we all consider how to partner together in getting His work accomplished.

Another prayer request - we have requested booth space at the Black Hills Stock Show in January.  This is not an easy thing to get...there are more people wanting space than space is available.  But as we look to starting Cowboy Churches in our region, being involved with the stock show is a great way to get to know people and let them know about us.  

Thanks again to all of you for your continued support and prayers.

Until next time,

John
