Next was the opportunity to speak for a youth retreat and for a week of meetings at Central Baptist Church in Gillette, Wyoming for Pastor Scott Clem. I spoke twice for the teens that came from around the state on Saturday, September 18, 2021. I preached from Jonah in the morning and from Genesis in the afternoon, on the story of Noah and the worldwide flood. Eight teens raised their hand for prayer that they might serve the Lord faithfully in their daily lives.
Sunday through Wednesday I held meetings for the church seeking to encourage them in these troubling days. Each service was well attended as I preached from the Old and New Testament. Even the adults enjoyed the ventriloquism, as I started each service with a true account from scripture with one of my friends. An invitation was given each night with encouraging results for prayer as they seek to reach their friends and family for Christ. I was able to stay in their parsonage on the church property prepared for missionaries and guest speakers. Please pray for this thriving church as they continue to reach out to their community for Christ and encourage the saints to be faithful during these difficult days.
