March 2008) Again, what a wonderful month we have had bestowed on us here in Henderson, NV. By our Awesome God. We are just almost finished with our building program here, and we are seeing several people showing interest in uniting with us. We continually have visitors attend, and we have several things planned to get our Mission out in front of the area Neighborhood. Please, once again let me share these things with you. REACHING THE NEIGHBORS: We have several different things in the works to get people to know where we are located, and to introduce them to our Mission work here for Christ. First, we have purchased 3000 addresses within a 5 mile radius of our new building, and we are in the process of mailing flyers out, with a map on how to get to the Church Building, along with a special invitation to worship with us. We really feel as if this will bring some added visitors to our church. We have applied for a Non Profit mail authorization from the USPS and just yesterday received authorization for this. We will be making this mailing in the next two weeks, please pray for us as we do this, that many will respond to this mailing. Also, in the area that the Church Building is located, there have been many break-ins to the houses, which is very surprising considering the neighborhood, but the Henderson Police Department and the neighbors are starting a neighborhood watch program for the area. The Neighbors of Section 4 have contacted us and asked if they could utilize our building to have this meeting. Bro. Don Goodman, our sponsoring Pastor, and I, very excitedly said yes. The meeting is now planned for April 22, from 6 pm – 9 pm, and our members are going to supply the refreshments. We feel as if this will give us a great opportunity to invite our neighbors to worship with us. And thirdly, we are planning now, a VBS for the area this year. This will be the first summer that we will be in our building, and we are really looking forward to starting a great tradition of having VBS each and every summer. I already have the sample kit from the bookstore, and we are in the planning process right now. Pray for this as we get ready to do this. A Mission of Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church of Prattsville, AR. & FMBC of Sherrill, AR. OUR FINAL STAGES OF BUILDING PROGRAM: We finally are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel on our building program. We have our Certificate of Occupancy (Temporary) pending the final completion of theinstallation of our fire alarm. We have contracted Protection One to design and install this for us; the final cost will be $3025. We have already paid $1500 down, and will pay the remainder upon the final installation and inspection, when this is complete we will get our final and permanent Certificate of Occupancy. Praise God!! We still do owe significantly, along with our sponsoring Churches, Sweet Home MBC of Prattsville, AR. And FMBC of Sherrill, AR. On our loan that we took out to complete everything. Please consider helping us retire this debt as soon as feasible. We really do want to thank all of you for staying with us for these years, just please help us with this one final thing. We need your financial support as well as prayerful support. We love you all, thanks so much. Come and see us sometimes. OUR STATS FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH: We continue to increase in stats, however, not as fast as we would like. Sometimes we get impatient, but we must realize it is God that gives the increase, Amen? Here are our stats for the month: Sunday School…33, Morning Worship…52, BTC…21, SundayEvening Worship…25, Wednesday Evening Bible Study…19, Number of first time visitors…16, Number of repeat visitors…8, Professions of faith (outreach and at church)…6, visits made my me personally…201 (door knocks and home visits). Please pray that we may see much fruit come from these labors. We also have many of the mission members visiting and knocking on doors around the area. These fields are truly white into harvest, many are Mormon, pray that we may reach these with the TRUEGOSPEL. SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST: Please pray for my Son in Law in Iraq, Spc. Tim Paddock-Chappell, he is getting shot at daily, and we need God to protect him. Also, please pray for my daughter, Christy, and granddaughter, Lorelei, as their husband and daddy are away from them. Please pray for Sis. Anne Garriott’s son in law, Steve, who is a Chaplain in Afghanistan. Pray for Bro. Randy Rodak, who is battling cancer in Salida, CO. He is the son in law of Phil and Judy Ellis. Pray that we may reach many people for Christ in this place in Henderson, NV. We love you all. May God Bless each of you. Especially the family of Pastor George Raley, a good friend and mentor of mine, who was promoted just two days ago. In Service for Christ, Your Missionary to Henderson, NV.
