In the Will of the Lord, I expect to travel to four new reserves (Cote First Nation, etc.) near the Manitoba border with the camper and make an overnight trip. I want to reach50 reserves by distributing gift bags of literature and Gospel posters while visiting the offices. So, Lord willing, after Tuesday, I will have been at 20 of them. I purchased 1,200 copies of the Intertribal Life Newspaper nine days ago when I was in Manitoba for an MSC Indigenous Consolation at Faith Bible Camp. I have until the beginning of November to distribute them and conduct visits before I start my circuit again. There but for the grace of God, go I!
I've been granted permission to start up a Biblicious Kids club at the local town legion Hall, and the first one starts October 2 every Wednesday (see poster is attached).I will have a lot of family there, including my cousin's kids, and it's exciting because none of them have ever been exposed to the Gospel.
I've been asked to serve on the Native Youth Conference Planning Committee, a volunteer position that results in a Gospel focused camp held once a year in Alberta (Thursday to Sunday, with approximately 400 teens), which is a great honor and responsibility.
I have also been asked to MC the Annual General Banquet/Fundraising event in Winnipeg for Indian Life Ministries. Indian Life Ministries has also asked me to put together a Bible Study to accompany their "Choosing the Creator's Path" tract. I just found out yesterday that Kelliher School has given me complete access to visit the school whenever I want and seek to be a help to the students. I will be going there on Monday morning before I leave for the reserves, and the principal will give me a tour and introduce me to the students and staff. When I visit my mom and dad, I see all the Native youth walking down the sidewalk to school, and I want to get to know them and share the Gospel with them so badly!
***Our time at Chanupawakpa was well spent. *** Mike Knox, Trevor Griffin, and I spent five days reaching out to the reserve. Trevor and Mike had a campfire Gospel message nightly and did a great job. They also did sports with the youth during the day. I had a ladies' Bible study and a jewelry-making activity at the same time, and Helen and Liz prepared some excellent meals, as did the Canupawakpa folks. The kids' sports time was short, with around 10 kids participating, but it was very valuable. We would also see about 10-15 adults from the community come out for the campfire in the evenings. I had about 6-10 ladies attend the Bible study. We will continue to reach out to the reserve, as the Glen Ewen group will be there on October 6 for a Gospel outreach in the evening. I will arrive a bit earlier to host a ladies' get-together,which we will stay for during the evening outreach. (All of this Lord willing)
***This past weekend, I was in Prince Albert for a Gospel booth at an Indigenous Gospel Jamboree. It was a completely different crowd than what I'm used to. The Lord used me to minister to some believers who shared their personal stories with me at my table, and I was genuinely thankful for that. One hundred bags of literature were distributed, and I firmly believe that the Lord will take those bags full of Gospel goodies,and the saved will give them to those they are burdened for. (One person plants and another person waters, but the Lord gives the increase.)
One of the Sandy Bay youths whom I haven't been in touch with for 10 years but who stayed at my house many times and came to meeting continually, and is now 25 years old, wrote me the other day to tell me that God has been trying to get her attention and has been sending Christians into her life. The other day, she opened up her work toolbox, and there was one of my Seed Sower magnets in her box, with my contact information on the back. She had no idea how it got there, so she phoned me! We can pray for Nikki; she lives in Brandon now, and I sure hope to get together with her when I go to Chanupawakpa in October (DV)
The morning and its sunshine are coming! He works everything according to the counsel of His own will. Ephesians 1:11. Thank you so much for reading and praying for the work here. Written by Becky Kew
