April 2024 Update

Dear Friends,

            You know our hearts concerning discipleship.  I’ve even written two books helping unbelievers to understand the gospel of Christ and believers to grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ.  When we are home, we have been very active in discipleship through our home church.  This includes doing a men’s Bible study at the church, doing a home Bible study with some younger couples, and personal contacts with people.  We praise God for the increase as we plant and water, building upon the foundation of Jesus Christ.  Whether on the road or at home, our desire is for discipleship.

            In January, I had the privilege of being at Grace Baptist Church in Delta UT where Bob Oswald is the pastor.  God is working there and it has been exciting to see what the Lord is doing.  The meetings were very well attended.  A highlight in March was for Jeneen and me to go to MT to be at Valley Baptist Church in Eureka MT where Matt Schrepfer is the pastor.  They held a Sportsman’s Banquet with many unsaved in attendance.  God is working there.  People have recently been saved.  They will be building their church this summer as the Lord enables.  They have a good start on the building process. Financially, they could use more money in their building fund.  We pray the Lord will provide.  This mission work is thriving in Eureka.  Praise the Lord.

We look forward to a busy summer.

• April 14 – Friendship Baptist Church in Thayne WY
• April 21 – First Baptist Church in Pinedale WY
• April 28 – Calvary Baptist Church in Kingman AZ
• June 2 – Shelley Baptist Church in Shelley ID
• July 4-6 – Family Camp at Camp Utibaca in UT

These are the things locked down already, with several other things still in the works.  We will be in AZ for a bit then heading to the southeastern part of the country.  We hope to see the Ark Encounter along with the Creation Museum.  We will also see some family and friends.  We want to be home for our granddaughter’s graduation the 23^rd of May.  In June, we have a family gathering in South Lake Tahoe CA.  It is a graveside for Jeneen’s mom who passed away last August. 

            Thanks for praying for my mom.  She was back in the hospital less than a week after being released from rehab.  Then she went back to rehab and finally came home in February.  She has care in her home.  She is gaining strength and doing better.  Thanks for your prayers.  She is not recovered to where she desires to be. 

            We look forward to what the Lord has for us in the days ahead.  God is good.  Please pray for churches without pastors, Grace Baptist in Randolph UT and Faith Baptist in Burley ID specifically, along with others.  Thank you for your prayers on our behalf.  We pray for you that God will work greatly in and through you as you walk with Him.
