Thanks and Prayer

Thanks to the Christians in the Plymouth, MN ALC for hosting the FM Administrator to share about the mission work the Lord is doing throught the ALC around the world. It was a joy to be with you last Sunday.

Please remember to Pray for Dennis Hilman as he is about to embark on a multi month mission duty for the Foreign Mission. He will be stationed in South Africa. Pray that he would have safe travels, and that the Word of the Lord would be present in Truth and Purity and that it will be proclaimed with the great power of the Holy Spirit!

Events past and up coming!

Last weekend in Watersmeet Michigan was a youth camp hosted by the Ironwood ALC. John R and Scott Niemitalo did a Foreign Mission presentation for about 200 young people!

Church visits and short FM talks by the administrator continue each week. Last week was Sunday was South Range Michigan, and this week will be Plymouth Minnesota.

During September and October, the Foreign Mission board will be deciding on up coming trips for the next 6 to 12 months. As soon as the trips that would allow additional people to go besides pastors are scheduled, you will find those posted here.

One trip that is already schedules is to Guatemala. This is from November 6-16. Please email foreignmission@comcast.net if you are interested in going to Guatemala!

Pray for Rain!

We are asking for prayers that the state of Andrah Pradesh in India would recieve rain. It is the rainy season and it has not rained very much at all. Without plenty of rain in this season, they will not be able to have a rice crop. Without rice, people suffer and many die from famine. There are many Christians that we are in fellowship with in this state who are suffering already and will suffer terribly if it does not rain. Your prayers are greatly appreciated!
