Happy New Year! We are looking forward to what the Lord has in store for us in this new Year. As we look back over the past year, we are amazed and grateful for all the Lord has done. It is above and beyond all we could ask or imagine. We are thankful for God's love for us. His love for us was settled at the cross of Jesus Christ some 2000 years ago. His love has never changed. He saves sinners and His salvation is free to all (Ezekiel 36:25-26).
In considering church planting in Fort Morgan, we were told that something "extraordinary" needs to happen for it to succeed. In our case we gave God the opportunity to do something IMPOSSIBLE! And "IMPOSSIBLE" things have occurred in this church plant!
In May of 2012 we had our first church gathering at the Comfort Inn conference room-- 12 of us. However, Grace Bible Church amazed us by giving us a building in January 2013. We have seen steady growth in Sunday attendance as well as 40 children that come to our Tuesday night Good News Club. Many folks have joined with us, and they often recommend our church to their friends.
As we look toward the future we pray that God would continue to do the impossible! We have a unique opportunity in Fort Morgan, CO, to see the Gospel invade the darkness. Have you ever heard of the 10/40 window? This window is a rectangular section of the world stretching from 10 degrees South to 40 degrees North latitudes. It encompasses North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. It is an area of the world that is often resistant to the Gospel of Jesus.
Fort Morgan is becoming like this 10/40 window! Without leaving Fort Morgan we can love people from Somalia, Ethiopia, Eretria, India, Morocco, Myanmar, Sudan etc. [and people born right here]. We also have folks living here from other places in the world: Kenya, Congo, Guatemala and Mexico. Pray for the families in our fellowship that we stay faithful and work together in reaching out to this diverse community.
Thanks for everything, especially your prayers!!
