April Ice Fishing

Last week Dad and the boys had the opportunity to go ice fishing with a friend. Since our family has very little experience in ice fishing, Dad’s friend was there entirely to serve them with his knowledge and abilities. What a blessing!

Kids Club

Laughing kids, a big white van to bring them, spontaneous games of tag in the church basement, lemonade spills…it’s kids club time!  We always look forward to seeing everyone, but the last couple of weeks we’ve had to cancel it due to a few different reasons. This week, we were excited to see the kids again! Here are some pictures to give you an idea what a typical kids club looks like (some of the pictures are not great quality because a flash might have been too distracting).

It is both fun and a blessing to be a part of the children’s ministry here on the Reservation. The Pollocks have been faithfully doing this for many years and now see some children coming whose parents attended when they were younger! Please pray for the Pollocks and the kids club ministry.DSCN9966

But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” Luke 18:16-17

March Blessings

We’re used to counting our blessings more around November, right? But God is pouring them down all the time, so why not take time to make note of His goodness and thank Him all year round!

Dad was able to take a trip to Montana/South Dakota to record more testimonies for The Storyteller radio program. God really blessed, as he was able to record several testimonies, meet brothers and sisters in Christ, and see some of the work that God is doing in Native North America.

We praise God for the protection He gave and for the opportunities Dad had to both record people and hand out Storyteller CD’s.  There were many blessing along the way.  Thank you to all who were praying!

Our previous oven needed a replacement part so we could bake, but some friends wanted to bless us with a new oven altogether. We are humbled at how God works!
