Montana

We are in Montana, (Woot!) now close to the end of outreach and even closer to staring our new life in ministry; we're excited and scared at the same time, it is good. One thing we've learned, and has been ever clear during this time, is that Jesus Lord.

We have done a lot of cool outreaches during this time in and it's been amazing, all the things that God in His providence has lead us into.

Last week, we had the opportunity to join a prayer team at a "Get motivated!" seminar, which is the largest of it's type in the world. We were invited by a man named Joe Walsh to pray for the people that were in attendance. It was quite amazing and we definitely felt like we had no business being there, but God called us to be there and it was awesome. The speakers there ranged from Gen. Colin Powell to Mike Phelps, and was totally amazing to be a part of. The leaders of the event also spoke and gave a gospel message which was really good and the 17,000 people who were there were impacted by a straight forward call to repentance.

So, we're staying in Polson, Montana for this week. The surrounding area for about 100 mile radius is Reserve land belonging to the Flathead Indian nation. We have teamed up with the Island Breeze DTS once again, actually for the first time since Vancouver. Tomorrow we get to be a part of something that is a first for the people of this reserve here in Montana. We are meeting with the tribal council of the reserve and the Samoans are going to present a message, cultural dances, songs and gifts to them on behalf of the countries and cultures. (There are ten countries represented in our team.) It's really cool and Really different. Also we'll be preparing and serving a luao lunch. Our DTS is taking on a servant role for the Samoans and help them make this time a success.
There is a lot of protocol involved in something like this, which we have spent some time learning about. We are so excited to see how God is going to use this opportuinty! For His Glory!
