Habakkuk 3:2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
My friends,
Thank you again for remembering us. Your prayers and support were felt throughout the month. We began March having special revival services with Evangelist Troy Carlson from the Bill Rice Ranch West Branch in Williams, AZ. Attendance was great each night. I was blessed to see raised hands during the invitation time indicating the Spirit's working among the church folk.
Eleven of our men attended the Men on the Move Conference in Williams a couple of weeks after revival. All of the men enjoyed the powerful messages and challenges from God's Word. Several gave testimonies about how God had used specific messages to deal with issues they were facing in their lives. We have been praying for genuine revival in our church since the beginning of the year. Many in our church desire a real change in their lives and hope to take "the next step" for Christ.
Brother Will Rice IV was our special guest the Sunday following the mens' retreat. He and his family were a blessing to the whole church. We had a pot luck dinner and afternoon service with them. I personally enjoyed getting to know brother Will and I know the church enjoyed the fellowship with their sweet family.
The men got back together a couple of days later for the monthly men's fellowship and continued a study on the Spirit's filling. The revival theme was reinforced time and time again all month long. I do long for revival in my own life, in the life of our family, the life of our church, and in our nation. Please join me in praying for a closer walk with Christ each and every day.
We were also blessed to have our daughter, Jackie, home for her spring break. She got in another dentist visit for her braces, which is the real reason she returned home. The visit was too short but very much enjoyed. I find myself wishing my days away eager for her return this summer. She has grown up way too fast. But we rejoice in the young lady she has become.
Thank you for your support of this ministry through your giving and your prayers. We do not take either for granted, and want you to rejoice with us in what our Lord is doing among the Hualapai people.
For God's Glory,
The Steve De Ford family
