Hello all,
Brie and I sit here at the Wolf Point Library in the midst of a day of preparation to finally jump out into the great unknown. We have now been with my grandparents for nearly a week, and what a blessing it has been. Yesterday was perhaps the greatest blessing of all, and thus we want to share a bit about what God did for us with you. My grandparents and aunt and uncle go to a small country church here in Wolf Point and so it was there that we found ourselves yesterday morning at eleven in the morning. However, what we would have expected from the church was far from what we received. As we grabbed a bulletin it quickly became clear that there were guest-speakers in charge of the service. Where they were from was the big surprise: All Nations Church in West Fargo, ND. All Nations is a church that is actually located about a block from the Faith, where I have been working for the last nearly two years (Anyone who is still in Fargo should venture over there one of these Sundays. Their congregation is mainly African, but one of their church objectives is to reach the surrounding community. I am sure, you will be blessed in your visit.) The church has always caught my attention as I've driven by, but I have never had the opportunity to enter. However, God had better plans in bringing them to us. Three large African men found themselves in the midst of a congregation of white Montana farmers, and the power with which their pastor spoke was such a joy. In typical African fashion Pastor Paul gave an enthusiastic sermon on Matthew 6:25-34. His main point was to worry less and trust God more, the very thing we are attempting to do, and the very thing we were struggling to do as we found ourselves nearing the precipice of lack of plans. There was nothing profound, but the simple and true reminder to seek the kingdom and to leave the rest to God was just what our hearts needed. We were also blessed to have them pray over us (in multiple african languages) before we departed. Now, tomorrow we will take off towards western Montana with a new confidence in our step, and rejuvenated in the power of the spirit. Thank you all for your prayers, they continue to be appreciated.
With Love,
Andrew and Brie
