Saturday, 1/13/24, Ate breakfast at the hotel, spent the day at the church for RLM

Bill giving his message- He did great sharing it and hearts were touched. I’m so proud of him and how he serves the Lord faithfully.

The weather report for today here

Our truck is the third one to the left.  We left after dark.  Jeff rode with us.  Very windy and -40 with the wind chill, but the roads to our hotel were plowed. Happy to get back to our hotel 

Mark Small sharing…our group is on the right at the back table plus 4 are at the table in front of us.  Great turn out!  Only Ron and Bev couldn’t make it.  

 

We had breakfast at the hotel.  This morning they had omelets, bacon, and French toast for the hot food.  It was really good!  We all went to the church at 8.  There was awesome worship, then our North Central Prayer leader gave a message.  Bill gave a message next and did a great job.  We had a break after that.  Bill had people coming up to him telling him they loved his message and I had people coming up to me telling me they loved his message.  A couple of ladies in the bathroom were talking together and told me they were talking about my husband’s message.  They told me they were going to put it into action.  Stephanie who was our prayer partner was one of them.  We had snacks and then listened to more good messages.  Someone always sells delicious homemade candy for RFS and I always look forward to buying some each year.  Chocolate covered coconut, chocolate covered cherries, mint chocolate fudge, peanut butter balls and peanut brittle.  

We had a zoom meeting with our National Evangelist who was with us and our CMA CEO and our three ministry partner leaders, for the Jesus film, Global Christian Ministries and Mission Ventures.  They shared how God brought them together and made the like family and how each ministry works so well with the others.  Definitely a God plan.  They also shared how the money CMA raises for Run for the Son helps each ministry reach so many people and brings them to a relationship with Jesus!  The one ministry alone said there were 1 million salvations.  Another ministry said 3.6 million Bibles were given out.  The other ministry gave testimonies of how God is using it and how so many people are getting saved.  We are so blessed to be part of this ministry.  We had delicious soup and salad for lunch at the church. Then had more messages of encouragement.  For dinner they served us tacos.  They were yummy too.  Julie and I went to Goodies and helped load vests and rain suits in tubs, so the guys could load the tubs in the trailer.  There were many helpers packing stuff up and loading it.  We have the best and sweetest goodie reps. We went back to our table for worship and Jays closing message.  Then we put chairs where they go and others took down tables and put them away.  We blessed people who helped from the church with a special offering, also did a special offering for our Goodie reps and also did an special offering for our wonderful hotel staff.  They had told Jay how thankful they were to have their lobby be used for a worship service.  They are amazing and are so good to us every year.  We left after that and made it safely to our hotel.  It sure was cold and windy out, so we were very happy!  it was a great day of glorifying the Lord.  We called Kimmy and didn’t get an answer, but she called us back a few minutes later.  We had her lay hands on Jacob while Bill and I prayed for this grandson we love so much to be healed in Jesus name. He has been so sick for a while now.  We are believing God touched him with his healing power!
