We want to give God all the glory for the 12 Native Americans who gave their hearts to the Lord on Easter Sunday after they heard the message of the resurrection.

With tears in their eyes, teenagers, moms, dads, and grandparents came to the altar to pray the sinner’s prayer. They then took part in the communion. After a big dinner, we were able to hide some eggs in the church for kids to find—it was too cold to hide them outside. It snowed all day Friday and Saturday and looked more like Christmas than Easter.

Please keep us and the new converts in your daily prayers.
