Today in our deaf Sunday school class, we had 5 visitors - a deaf man, his hearing wife and 3 kids. They all stayed for church as well! Also, I talked with a deaf man today that has come once in a while, and he recently started reading his Bible more and is being convicted to be more faithful to church. He likes our church, and is going to be coming more regularly. I have to admit, it is hard for me to understand all of what he signs to me, but for the most part, I understand him. He is a young man in his 20's. Also, there is another deaf lady that started to come often, and then stopped coming. We found out she had some medical problems that were keeping her f…

we went out to the family cabin for two weeks for Christmas/New Year's. Hubby saves his leave time so we can take two weeks and he and our son make an attempt at trapping. This year they didn't do so well. The baits and lures were old (we couldn't afford to get new this year) the weather was great (60's & 70's the first week and a half) and they pinched several things but nothing was in the traps. We figure we may need to replace springs, most of these traps are probably 30-40 years old and nothing has ever been replaced. Not sure what to get for the Northwoods traps since they are no longer manufactured.... As you can see from the photo of the tree our back door…

As I mentioned elsewhere, I recently found out that my blood pressure was dangerously high. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was something like 175/105. I attributed it to being anxious about going to the doctor, because I hate going to doctors. However, I checked it myself about a week later, and it was still in that same range. As I also mentioned, I completely changed my diet and started walking about two weeks ago. I've noticed a change in several different areas since I started this...good changes. Last night, I decided that I would check my blood pressure for the first time since I made the diet and exercise changes two weeks ago. I didn't reall…

The Impossible Love of The God of All Creation Now, while I was in college, I had two Christian friends, a couple, whose faith I became interested in. So, I decided to ask them how to understand Christianity. They told me to read the Bible starting with the Gospels and pray, and I would see that a Christian life would grow on me as it had for them. I also asked them for something philosophical to read that summed up Christianity and they gave me the book Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. Now, I did pray, but I found that in my heart I believed God existed to me, but in my mind He did not. This meant that my prayers felt both conflicted and pointless. I also trie…

Saved And I Know It My grandma on my mom's side used to take my sisters and me to Sunday School and also to VBS during the summers. Those were very pertinent times, and the influences from them paved the way to my salvation. In later years, Dad and Mom started attending church and in time actually became quite actively involved. Dad used to smoke (as did my grandpa), and he also used to consume alcohol and sell it in their little store. That came to an end when some of the church leaders went to him and more or less taught him that he ought not to be selling it if he was a Christian. At Easter time when I was about 7 years old, a movie was going to be sh…

I was baptized again last night! 1 2

Hi everyone. I was baptized again last night. The reason is because I do not feel that my previous two baptisms were valid. The reason is that my heart and mind was not in the right place for the first one although the form was valid. The reason for the second one is that it was a Mormon baptism. Yes, I converted to Mormonism last year but I have left the Mormon church and am in the process of officially removing my records from the Mormon church. I am ashamed of myself that I fell to the Mormons seductive doctrine. Anyway, my baptism last night was the first time I have been validly baptized because for the first time, I was baptized with the proper state of mind …

My girlfriend came into town (with her mom)... and left as my fiance. :Green She met my parents, and they loved her. I proposed to her at a nature trail in Wichita, KS, last Saturday (Nov. 17) afternoon. Everything went wonderfully at church yesterday as well. Some pictures are attached. [attachment=2] [attachment=1] [attachment=0] Yep yep yep, we're engaged. I don't have any pictures of the ring, because I'm a guy. :Green Nope, we don't yet have a date set for when Rachel Guy becomes Rachel Adra... but I can't wait! Psalm 68:19 ? "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah."

It is such a wonderful blessing to hear or read the testimonies of others! It's such a joy to see our God working in the lives of others. There's a lot of dialogue about doctrine...which can be very illuminating, and there are lots of salvation testimonies too...which is such a delightful thing to rejoice in! One thing that I truly miss though, is the sharing and testifying about the "relationship" different ones have with the Lord now. I'm not referring to our position in Christ being accepted in the beloved, and I'm not speaking of the knowledge and understanding we have of scriptural matters. Just as we have a relationship with loved ones on this earth, we also ha…

I was taking my dog on a walk today around the neighborhood, and I saw two old friends of mine having a bar-b-q at one of there houses. I stopped by for a visit and when one of them asked me how I had been I told him I was well " Just working a lot, and going to church." He was very interested that I said that and I got to share the gospel with him and praise God I even had a booklet in my pocket that had the Gospel of John and the book of Romans. It has underlined verses in it and in the back has a "How to receive Christ" section. I read to him John 3:16,17 and just kind of talked to him about what he already believed and shared with him what the Bible says the gave him…

My wife and I work in the deaf ministry at First Baptist Church, Rosemount, MN. My wife does a lot of interpreting, and I get to interpret for the deaf men once a month for the men's missions prayer time. Two years ago, our first regular deaf couple started coming to church, and we have seen some deaf people come and go throughout this time. But, this year has been different. Since January, we have seen 8 deaf people get saved, and 3 of their children also. A deaf couple that have been living together (both of them got saved this year) decided to honor God, and they got married. We now have 11 deaf members who come on Sunday mornings, and about 4-5 that come Sunday…

My church has been blessed lately with visits from missionaries that we support. Where we are, it is unusual for people to stop by - Perth is not really on the way anywhere, so you really have to be going TO Perth. And that is Expensive! As a result we don't get visits from missionaries very often. So far this year - yes 2018 - we have had two missionaries able to spend time with us. What a blessing it is to be able to look after these people!!!!

My testimony from an unworthy sinner!

My name is Kyle. I will be 18 coming up here in May. The Lord saved me when I was 16 years old. A year and 4 months ago the Lord saved my soul. And Glory to God! I was raised in church my whole life. I thought I was saved from my old pastor many years ago leading me in a prayer. But I didnt get born again. Just a year and a half ago I didnt even believe in God. I was still going to church, but didnt believe in God at all. I was what you call an emo kid. I was listening to all kinds of punk rock music and heavy metal. I wanted to kill myself back then. But praise God I dont now! I didnt have any faith in God at all. I believed in evolution, which took the l…

I was 24 years old, had been in church most of my life. But I was lost, didn't care about church, and didn't know God. I went because my parents made me go. But on that Sunday morning, Mother's Day, 1985, I was under deep conviction as they sang "love lifted me". Then the preacher preached with love and compassion from the 23rd psalm. God was calling to me personally that morning. He showed me that He loved me. I had been a wicked sinner but He loved me. I heard no supernatural, audible voice except the words of the preacher. Jesus was speaking to me...He was there in the room. I started to move then hesitated, then shook my head "no". I wasn't going to reject Hima nd g…

Went to the mountains today with some friends to go skiing before the seasons over. On the way back, we just left the mountains, when my friend's new truck started having transmission problems and wouldn't shift out of first gear. The vehicle was under warranty, but that free towing would only take it as far as the nearest dealership – and we were 400 km. from home, with four people and a box full of ski gear. The towing option wasn't going to work out, so my friend decided to try to limp the truck to Calgary – an hour away and still 300 km. from home. But before we started limping, we shut the vehicle off again, prayed, and asked God to fix it. Guess what? He did. We…

I've been back from Korea for two months now and I've been really praying about where to work and haven't really felt comfortable with the places where I've been applying. One of my friends at our church 20-something Bible study told me about a company he used to work for and when I really looked into it and applied, I felt like it was really somewhere where I would love to work and start a career. I've really been praying about it and had my second interview(after an initial phone screening interview) there this past Tuesday. I got a call a few minutes ago letting me know I had gotten the jOB. Praise the Lord that He has provided me a jOB and hopefully a place where I ca…

My church has been in the process of organizing "Seed Line"---which goes hand in hand with Bearing Precious Seed in Milford, OH. Today and tomorrow were set aside to collate the booklets for John and Romans. I got there and worked in the kitchen. The saints had already put together (collated) 15,000,000 booklets to be sent to the IFB churches in Africa. :-) Work was going on all day---and was supposed to continue tomorrow. With the turnout of people, though, it was finished at 8:45 P.M. :thumb We will also be distributing the rest of the Gospel in our own Jerusalem, Samaria, and Judea. Hallelujah Lord Jesus. John 4:14...But whosoever drinketh of th…
