RAGBRAI, The Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Race Across Iowa, is coming through Storm Lake this summer! The race begins in Sioux City on July 19th and our community of Storm Lake is the first overnight stop on this week long ride. Last year we set up free prayer in Mason City, IA and got to see this spectacle for the first time. This year we know more what it will be like, and plan to take some advice given us by a rider last year that if we move free prayer along the route through the week, bikers will see us more and have more opportunities to come for that Divine appointment with The Lord! Now is the time of prayer and preparation for this big event.
Praise Report!
While at church yesterday Emil prayed for a guy who sought prayer for his mind and memory loss which made him fearful of alzheimers, but he also had hearing loss of 60% in one ear and 20% in the other. Emil saw a picture of a deaf and dumb spirit attaching itself to this man, and once delivered of it his mind became completely clear. Then Emil prayed for his hearing and it was completely restored. Thank You Jesus!
Moved!
Our moving day was moved up from Saturday to Tuesday, people were available to help so we scrambled to get ready and, as a result, spent the first night in our new home last night. Sometimes we make our best laid plans, but must always be open to what God is orchestrating and prompting and move when He moves! So thank You Lord for acceleration!
On the Move!
We have just closed on our new home base right off the campus of Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, and we are in the process of moving in! We are sensing a new beginning! More to come!
January Refreshing
We are taking the month of January to get refreshed with the Lord, and to get re-focused for the year to come!!!! The Lord has given us several promptings to sit with Him, read His Word, and Rest in Him. So check back in February!!!
Happy New Year!
Praying that 2015 will be a year of the abundance of the Lord, including more of His presence, provision, peace and power in your lives.
A Week’s Worth of Roadside in 2 Days
Emil returned from a 2-day ministry trip Sunday night and as he related all the things God had done and said through him and we wrote them down, we realized he had put in as many hours of ministry in two days as we do on the roadside in a week! And it’s normally that way when we minister out-of-town. God always finds a way to use us through the freezing-cold days of winter! We are grateful and humbled.
Officially international!
We had our first international ministry session yesterday by phone–a lady from Alberta, Canada! Thank You, Lord, for what You did for her. You are so good!
Emil elected Chaplain
Emil was elected Chaplain of our CMA chapter for 2015. He attends a new/old officer meeting Saturday afternoon, followed by our chapter Christmas dinner. His duties begin January 1st.
12 days later…
It’s 12 days since our last post and we are STILL working on that newsletter. We need to hire someone to post daily for us, or at least a few times a week! It’s COLD here and we’ve had some snow but God is still setting up divine appointments for us! We are grateful that He uses all of us who are willing and available to reach out to those who don’t know His love. May you have a wonderful day next Thursday giving Him thanks!
