WIND RIVER TENT MEETING

We closed out our tent meeting on the Wind River Reservation last night (8/19-10). This was our first tent meeting at the Fort Washakie location on the Reservation. We have a church at Fort Washakie, the Washakie Baptist Church, which was started a little over three years ago. Our missionary Dan Fritz serves here. We visited every morning during the meeting telling people about the meeting and inviting them to attend. We were very pleased with the response of the people. We averaged over 30 each night in the services with a high of 46. There were many first time visitors. To God's glory, there were six saved during the meeting!

As I have often seen in these meetings, it is toward the end of the week that we see the people respond. The first few nights the seed is sown and then toward the end of the meeting we see that seed come to fruition. Curtis came every night. He was like a sponge and on Wednesday night he was saved. When I arrived at the tent on Thursday night, Len was waiting on me to get there. He wanted to talk to me and He was saved. When we gave the invitation after the Thursday service, 4 more were saved; Evelyn, July, J.C., and Norcesse were saved. It was a glorious night. All that were saved were adults with the exception of J.C., who is a young boy. There were many tears and rejoicing from both our team and those that were saved. Please pray for each of these that they will grow in grace. As well, pray for Dan Fritz and Washakie Baptist Church as they continue to work among the Shoshoni and Arapaho of the Wind River Reservation.

Thank your for all who prayed. We will began our final meeting of the summer next week. We will be meeting at the Fremont Youth Camp which is located just off the Reservation. This meeting is sponsored by the Calvary Baptist Church and missionary Richard Morgan. CBC is located in Riverton on the Wind River Reservation. Keep this meeting in prayer and I will let you know next week how the meeting goes.

Yours for Native America
