Christmas Blessings
34% of The Free Prayer Project goal reached! That is just one of our blessings. A bigger one is all of you who follow and encourage us! The biggest one is JESUS! Let us honor Him as we celebrate His birth which led to His death and resurrection which made possible our salvation and healing! God is so GOOD.
29% of Goal Reached!
Thank you to you who have given or pledged toward The Free Prayer Project! We are greatly encouraged by you!
Fundraising Campaign Begun
We are raising money for a year’s lease on a building in Storm Lake which we could use as a Free Prayer ministry center all year long. Our new website page, “The Free Prayer Project,” has all the details plus a Goal Meter and Donate button! Please read about it. We would love to have you partner with us in advancing the Kingdom through this new venture which allows us to offer Free Prayer year-round without weather interruptions.
RAGBRAI Feedback
DirecTV guy came to relocate our dish the other day. We were talking when he finished and he said, “Hey, I saw you! You and your wife were praying for people all through RAGBRAI and I was riding in it!” He thought it was really cool. He said he saw us every day when he rode into a new town for the night. He asked if a lot of people stopped so I got to share some of what God did! God is so awesome. You never know who you’ll touch when you take Jesus out of the church.
New Set-Up Location a Great Success!
Our new set-up location in Storm Lake is a huge success. We are very visible and situated in the middle of the main thoroughfare through town. We have had many many people stop in the short time we have been blessed with this location.
Mason City Vineyard Sunday
Looking forward to preaching and doing ministry at the Mason City Vineyard this weekend! We’ve had a busy summer since RAGBRAI. In a nutshell, we preached the first Sunday in August at Christ’s Love Vineyard in Pocatello, ID. Within a very short period of time, we lost our two places where we regularly set up Free Prayer here in Storm lake, Iowa, one to construction and another to complaint. BUT GOD…gave us a most awesome place in town where almost everyone in Storm Lake passes by at least once a day! He is awesome!
We did it! Seven days of RAGBRAI!
We didn’t do a good job of posting here on our website along the route of the 7-day, 980-mile ministry trip. We experienced some discouragement along the way but ended up praying for so many people that we lost track! And for those moments of discouragement, God ALWAYS provided immediate encouragement through the many, many people who called out that they liked our shirts or stopped by to talk about the ministry. For a day-to-day report, please sign up for our newsletter under the “Contact Us” tab. We will be emailing it out today!
Day 1 RAGBRAI
Day 1 of RAGBRAI ended with us praying for four cyclists as we walked through the vendor area in Storm Lake. It was amazing to see 20,000 cyclists camped everywhere and anywhere around town. About 100 tents were set up right across the street from our house, all US Air Force men and women. On to Fort Dodge today, an hour from our house, for the Day 2 stop along the 7 day ride. RAGBRAI is the oldest, longest and largest bicycle touring event in the world so people are here from not just Iowa but from around the world!
Free Prayer on foot!
We just learned that the cost for a non-profit organization to set up in the park where the RAGBRAI cyclists will be staying and/or playing along the route is $300 (per town), so now we understand why the Lord led us to walk through the parks with our FREE PRAYER shirts on! Last year we walked through the Mason City park without special shirts and had a fantastic ministry time with a guy who we ran into a couple of weeks ago! Details in our July newsletter.
