October - November 2011

Dear Praying Friends,

We rejoice in the Lord for His guidance throughout this summer and the results that He has granted. HE IS FAITHFUL!

God revealed Himself in such a powerful way in our lives and ministry during our time of deputation. We visited thirty-four churches (out of sixty we had planned to visit), and God opened the door for us to present our work to five of the thirty-four churches; two of the five have taken us on for support. We were blessed to have had the opportunity to introduce our ministry to all of the thirty-four churches. We met over sixty pastors and gave out fifty-three pastor packets. Many are considering our ministry for future support.

By His grace, God allowed us to see many saved this summer through different avenues. Three hundred forty-five professions of faith were made at the Indianapolis State Fair through Amazing Grace Ministries, and ninety-eight souls trusted Christ at the Marion County Fair. What a blessing it was to serve the Lord through this ministry! The Lord gave us several opportunities to bare fruit for Him while visiting many of the churches. One precious child trusted the Lord as her Savior at Fairland Baptist Church as the result of a one-day tent crusade. Also, two young boys received Christ at a Saturday neighborhood football game and two other children the following Wednesday. Both Pastor and church members were greatly encouraged. We saw two hundred and twenty-seven professions of faith at the fall festival in Terre Haute, Indiana, and were also blessed with six saved during follow-up visits afterward. At the Faith Promise Conference at Thomson Road Baptist Church we saw one precious young soul saved while ministering to ages four through ten. While at the Missions Conference at Lighthouse Baptist church in Theodore, Alabama, thirty-one of over sixty bus children received Christ as their Savior. We praise and exalt the Lord Jesus Christ for the wonderful work He has done this summer—over six hundred souls saved. It is a marvelous blessing to be used by God to fulfill His plan in the lives of so many. God knows each of these who put their faith in His Son to save them. Please pray for these new believers that they seek baptism, stand firmly in the faith, and grow in the Lord to become witnesses to Him both in their Jerusalem, and in their Judaea, and in their Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8).

Please continue praying for us. God has met our every need, has heard and answered your prayers keeping us safe while traveling, and has directed our path, but Satan and his demons are close at hand. During the summer we had to replace all seven tires on our fifth wheel, duel it out with Ford concerning our truck's temperature problems, deal numerous times with our bank in regards of our banking while on the road, and had to say good-bye to our beloved pet Kisha whom we loved dearly. Thanks to your prayers and our faithful Lord's promise of peace, we were able to endure these times of trials and grief.

Throughout the last few months, we have been seeking the Lord for what He would have us do and where He would have us stay this winter. We have been burdened greatly about this and believe God is directing us to continue deputation. Our burden for America grew as we traveled this summer. America is spiraling downhill fast. In order for our country to come back, our churches, instead of closing their doors in defeat, need to start reproducing. We have about twenty-five churches in the northern part of Florida, some in Alabama, and three in Georgia that we wish to visit during the next few months. God has made it possible for us to base out of Pensacola and even provided work for Scott at Pensacola Christian College so that we can continue to raise support to help the smallest church grow in the Lord. It brings sorrow to our hearts knowing we will not make it back to our home church this winter; however, our prayers will not cease for those who make great sacrifices in order to pray for and support us. It is wonderful to hear how God is working at Faith Baptist Church, as they continue to reach lost souls and disciple them that they may bring glory to God. It is our prayer that the Lord will greatly bless you all as you walk closer with Him every day.

We have been invited back to three churches next year and have a church planting conference the second week of January in Oklahoma City. View our current schedule.

Sincerely in Christ,

    Scott and Lorraine
