Montana - The Journey Continues

The first half of 2023 has been a busy and very enjoyable time of ministry for Pat and I.  After three years of waiting to go overseas, our first 2023 India trip is over.  We’re expecting to return either late October or early November.  Plans are to base in India, and from there fly to Sri Lanka, Thailand and Cambodia to reconnect with our ministry partners.  We’ll keep you posted when the dates are set.

Now our focus is on Montana.  It’s a great opportunity to have a time of rest and refreshing, minister in a few churches and visit with family and friends. After 4 years, Pat & her sister Cyndy will be taking a road trip to Canada to visit family.

We will be leaving Las Vegas on June 28 and returning August 15.  Pat and I so appreciate your love and prayers and ask that you keep the following times of ministry in prayer.

• Sunday July 16th - 10 a.m. CrossPoint Church, Corvallis, MT
       with Pastors Scot and Shelly Colwell
• Tuesday July 18th - 10:00 a.m. Women of Worship,
       at Light of the Valley, Stevensville, MT
• Tuesday July 18th -   6:00 p.m CrossPoint Women, Corvallis, MT 
• Sunday July 23rd - 10:30 a.m. House of Praise, Victor, MT
       with Pastors Jim and Lorraine Andrusky
• Sunday August 13th 10:30 am The Place Church, Hamilton, MT
       with Pastors Mike and Denise Echterling

It will be great to see many of you in the Beautiful Bitterroot Valley! Words can never express how important you are to us. Thank You for faithfully standing with us through your prayers and financial gifts as we walk out the destiny the Lord has set before us.

After Montana and a BIG Announcement

Our time in Montana truly was rich and full. It was great to escape the heat of Las Vegas. Montana also has experienced unusually hot temperatures, but the cool evenings and mornings make it pleasant and refreshing. Scripture says that God walked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day, and that's how we felt as we spent time with Him enjoying the beauty of His creation.

An extended stay gave us time to fellowship with our network of friends, family and churches.  We were privileged to shared at several church meetings, ladies groups, a men's breakfast, and a youth group that raised funds to help with overseas missions. What a joy to see young people with a heart for God and helping others. 

We joked that we were 'getting fat on people's love', as we shared meals together, encouraging  and strengthening each other in the Lord.  

And now for an exciting announcement - we've published the first edition of our book! It's called 'No Problem. The Adventures & Misadventures of a Couple Who Said "YES" to God.'

You can get your copy two ways:

1. The self-published paperback version is just $5 and includes postage within the US.  Click here to order and pay online with credit or debit card.  

2. The Kindle e-book is available on  Amazon for $1.99.  Follow this link: No Problem Kindle E-book

Click here to enjoy a sample. It's written as if we were sitting across the table sharing a cup of coffee or tea, sharing stories of God's goodness and mercy.

Our prayer for you during this season of your life is from Ephesians 1:17-18 in The Passion Translation: "I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know him through your deepening intimacy with him.  I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of his calling—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that he finds in us, his holy ones!"  

The Journey is exciting. Our God is Amazing.  Stay Strong ~ Pat & Gary
