Lakeland Baptist Church

Our next stop was in Gilbert, Minnesota at Lakeland Baptist Church with Pastor Nathan Lobb and his wife Donna.  For Wednesday night, October 25, we prayed with the church family and I preached a message from Acts 16 on Lydia and the Philippian Jailer as Paul and Silas had a part in the birth of the church in Macedonia.  Sunday morning, October 29, I presented the story of Jonah and what he learned about God in a whole family Sunday School class.   For the morning service I preached from Mark 5 on The Demoniac of Gadarene.  Because God could calm the storm from without in Mark 4, he could also calm the storm in the life of a man troubled by demons?  Friday evening, we traveled with Pastor Lobb to Perkins in Virginia for a pastor’s fellowship with area pastors in northern Minnesota.  That night on our way back to Gilbert, we stopped at a teen fellowship where I presented a Bible study on what we can be thankful for.

We enjoyed seeing the Lobb family again and friends from northern Minnesota.  During the week I helped pastor work on the motor on a log splitter, measured logs with a eight foot pole to help Nathan as he used his chain saw to cut down trees for our Saturday work day, then on Saturday several men came to the church to cut and split wood for the wood boiler furnace to keep the church warm for the cold winter months.  Please pray for Nathan Lobb and the church family as they prepare to build a new auditorium for this growing church.
