Sunday can't beat that day



















Our home was full of guests this morning, and it was great, the atmosphere is always full of excitement and encouragement. We all got ready and headed for church excited to hear what God has put on the heart of Pastor Lyle this week for us. So many people very seldom attend a church and many never darken the doors of a church and yet the world is full of lost souls seeking for some kind of hope and looking almost everywhere else. Their lives are a mess and soon they accept it as normal. They settle into believing that it's the way it is and that's that.

So thankful for the blessings God has sent our way, the van that was donated by our niece, we've used it so many times to run out to the ranch with all our stuff for the day, the equipement supplied to use this weekend, the equipment someone rented to be used and then the people who ran the equipment and gave of their time so we could have 4 machines going at once.
Also thankful for all the pies and banana bread Sheryl and Brigitte baked for us. So yummy!
We are blessed and highly favoured.

Now we have a new approach, so we tried it out then went to put the fence back up and realized we had buried it under a pile of dirt. So took a little more time to dig it out again. Remember laughter is good like medicine!

Faithful men and women like you, who encourage and support Crossman Ministries and the Battle River Camp project with your prayers, time and financial support, are all heaven sent. The Lord is using your partnership so that we can reach out to as many people as possible as soon as possible. Even as the ranch project is in the construction and development stages lives are being changed. God is using the entire project to encourage the body of believers and just as many that don't believe the way we do, are being encouraged. It seems that either in a group or one on one, we all have the opportunity to put Jesus first in all our conversations, thoughts and actions. I remember years ago hitch hiking down the highway by myself and when there was no one coming from either direction all hope seemed gone and it was a lonely place to be. It was a lot like when I worked underground in a potash mine and working in an area of the mine with no one else. I would turn off my light and it was so dark and quiet like I'd never experienced before. But when a car came down that highway or a fellow miner showed up it seemed all was back and felt safe again. Well we have that safety now and always as we walk with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We will never be alone again.
