Movin' On To Montana

Howdy Folks;

Our last weekend in Idaho was very busy! Saturday night we joined forces with a preacher from Texas to present a Gospel concert. Sunday morning found us at the local Southern Baptist Church in Blackfoot, Idaho, to provide some special music. After the service, we packed up the sound system and drove to the Cowboy Church in Firth, Idaho. At the Cowboy Church, I had the opportunity to talk with the organizers concerning their vision for reaching the rural community for Christ. Although the congregation was small, the folks sure could sing and were enthusiastic about their witness for Christ. We left Idaho tired, but rejoicing in the opportunities the Lord had provided to share the Gospel.

The next stop on our tour is White Sulphur Springs, Montana. I'll be teaching the high school kids to write cowboy songs and performing at the Motherin' Up Gathering on the weekend. There'll be a Cowboy Church service on Sunday, pray that the Lord will open up the people's hearts to hear the Gospel through the old hymns and cowboy poems.

As Suann and I visit these small rural churches, we are blessed by the zeal and commitment of these folks. Their love for the Lord is sure evident, as they reach out to their communities with the Gospel message. We covet your prayers, as we extend our ministry to even smaller congregations.

On the trail,
Mike and Suzann

Hi Mike,
I'm enjoying reading about your trip progress. I'm also looking forward to your visit to Ericson on June 3. The church is finished (except for some little things) and we're anticipating a good attendance when you're here.

Blessings,
Pastor Jerry
