Report from Pine Ridge

We concluded our meetings on the Pine Ridge Reservation on Saturday night (7/11/09). When we arrived we had no idea what to expect. We were not even sure anyone would show up. God once again proved His faithfulness and demonstrated His power. The attendance in both meetings (Pine Ridge Village and Kyle) exceeded any of my expectations. The response of the people was overwhelming. I have never been any where that I found hearts were as open and receptive as those we found on Pine Ridge. To God be the glory, there were 7 precious Sioux people who accepted Christ as their Saviour. Again, I say glory!

I will never forget the elderly Sioux lady who came to the tent one night and said to me, "Thank you for coming. We need revival on Pine Ridge. Thank you for coming." I have carried a special burden for Pine Ridge for sometime. I leave the reservation with even a deeper burden. Please pray that our missionary that is going to Pine Ridge will be able to raise his suppport quickly. We need to get him to the reservation as soon as possible. As well, I am praying that God will give us at least 3 more missionaries for Pine Ridge. It is a very large Reservation and we need Churches scattered all over the Reservation. Pray with me that God will call workers to this field.

I had a good day at the Liberty Baptist Tabernacle in Rapid City on the Lord's Day. The pastor is Wayne Williams. He will soon complete 30 years at the Church. He has a great ministry with Bearing Precious Seed in the Church. I enjoyed worshipping and preaching at Liberty. The Church is a testimony of Pastor William's faithful service to God. He is one of the best Bible teachers I have ever heard.

I will start back for home on Tuesday and resume my deputation and encouraging others to join us in this great work. As always, I will leave my heart on the Reservations and with the Native Americans. Each day makes me more thankful God has placed me in this work.

Yours for Native America
