Revival with Artie Aragon Refreshes Great Falls
Great Falls, Montana
- Pastor
- Abram Baca
Hello and greetings from Great Falls, Montana. This past year has been a time of great ups and downs. We had revival with my Pastor Timothy Miller where we saw our numbers peak at 41 people in attendance, many people were saved, and the church was inspired.
We followed that up with a three-onthree basketball tournament where we saw 120 people in attendance with 56 participants. Twenty-eight people were saved.
After this, we went through a season of barrenness, where many people simply stopped attending. Pastor Greg put into my pastor, who then put into me, “That is unacceptable!” We began to fast as a church every Monday. I opened up the building for prayer in the evenings and began to see first time visitors come through our doors during the next couple of months!
We had a revival with Pastor Artie Aragon where we saw 38 people in attendance on three different nights. On one of the nights, there were all native Americans - Blackfeet, Chippewa Cree, Pueblo and first nations from Canada! Many words were given, people saved and vision was implanted.
In December, we were able to take two men down to the Men’s Rally in Prescott.
Then the winter weather hit. At times we could experience -58 with the windchill.
We experienced another assault where people were backsliding, finances dropped and so again, we begin to fast and pray, and took it upon ourselves to be individually fruitful. I begin to pray for the sick on a regular basis in our services and challenged the congregation to believe God for a financial miracle, and to give in that faith. From that, we saw a backslider come back into the church after getting married. He had been praying for a house. God provided for his family, and his wife is now pregnant with another child.
One of our new converts got an $8 an hour raise on his job!
Another lady in our church was praying for a new vehicle and she found one on sale for $8,000. She met with the lady and she sold the car to her for $6,000 with only $400 down.
The church finances increased dramatically!
After seeing these miracles, my faith was stirred to get a vehicle for our family. That along with my wife’s prayers for years about a specific vehicle! We went to a dealership and didn’t like the deal that was being offered, when the finance director came from the back. He asked me if I was a pastor. I told him yes, and long story short, he gave me a testimony about how he had gone to prison on three separate occasions. On his last stay, he had gotten radically saved and he believed that God saved him to help me that day! He took thousands off the price of the vehicle and lowered our monthly payments to a reasonable amount!
We have recently had 30 first time visitors and a wave of backsliders in the month following the winter conference. Please pray for us in Great Falls, Montana!
