Hello from Lloydminster Canada. We have been busy this year with a number of revivals and outreaches, seeing God moving powerfully in lives and the church. To start the year off we saw the return of two backsliders into the church. They are still presently serving God and growing! From then on we have seen a number of new converts coming in.
We have a had a number of revivals thus far with all really helping to strengthen and develop the church while bringing in the lost. All were exceptional with Pastor Gary Marsh, Richard Brooks, Patrick Johnson and Robert Polaco. Pastor Don was also able to go into Russia this June to the churches in St.Petersburg and Kolpina to preach revival services for them.
We have also had a number of special outreaches this year. The city has started an annual event in the downtown area with music, classic cars, farmers market and different events going on. There were seven people prayed with that day.
A young man in the church performed some hip hop and the band had opportunity to play but unfortunately were rained out.
From there we had our annual Family Fun Day on July 1 in a local park during Canada Day. We had the band play, a rapping moose (our Family Fun Day mascot), face painting, food, balloons, testimonies, game for the kids, and a number of fellow saints from the Edmonton church to help out with their band playing as well.
After this we had our Community Fair Colonial days, in which we had a healing tent. We witnesed to people and some were healed and a few saved, with one attending the revivals to follow and a couple services since.
The fair finished up on a Saturday night and the next Sunday morning we started revival with Patrick Johnson. This went through ‘til Wednesday night, with people saved and all greatly ministered to! The following Sunday morning we started revival with Robert Polaco and again saw people saved, direction given, and just building off of the previous revival and all that God is doing in the church this entire year.
We are believing God for breakthrough and Pastor Don is continually encouraging and exhorting the church to grow and to press forward.
God is moving and stirring people with people being added to the church continually. Those being added to the church are tied to people in the church as friends or family and are locking in and getting involved.
We thank God for all He is doing, for our pastor who is continually challenging us, and for the Fellowship!
