THANKFUL FOR PASTORS AND CHURCHES IN THE USA
Hello everyone from the green Washington/Oregon area, another former home of about two years. God’s handiwork is so amazing here that I took my wife to Oregon for our honeymoon 10.5 years ago. We thank you for your prayers as our support nears 60%. We happily report that 4 people trusted in Jesus while visiting this month. In Thailand our team planted another church, and more people are being reached for the Lord.
This month started in Stockton, California, where Pastor Herbert hosted their annual missions conference. It was a packed schedule; and many came to see, hear, and rally around missions. We then had a great couple of days with Pastor Jimmy Wallace, where I saw 1 woman named Arlene saved. On Saturday before visiting, I took our family to the Jelly Belly Factory, just 20 minutes from the church. Later in the week, we had a super-enjoyable time meeting Pastor Dalzell and the church members in Manteca, California. We went soul winning with several teenagers, canvasing a neighborhood. The next night I preached for the addictions program and met many of the fine men allowing God to take charge in their lives.
In Fallon, Nevada, Pastor Steven Miller conducted a full and fulfilling missions conference. So many church members reached out to our family, and the members made great efforts to make the conference “over the top.” While soul winning with Missionary Peter Duke, I saw Carlos, Jonathan, and Roselyn saved, while Brother Duke led Julian and one more young man to the Lord. It was a tremendous week, which included a special visit to the Navy jet-fighter base there in Fallon. I love our country!
Shortly after, we began a four-week stay in Oregon, which has so far included four fantastic churches. Pastor Kinney of Temple Baptist Church in Lacey, Washington, and members gave us excellent fellowship and assurances to pray for us regularly. Pastor Lawrence Morris started a church less than two years ago in a very under-churched area of Renton, Washington. The Lord blessed with a full facility and a record number of children downstairs. In Vancouver, Washington, Pastor Roman White and church members gave us many blessings of friendship as we presented on a Sunday evening. Praise the Lord for these Northwest USA pastors, following the Lord in areas similar to many mission fields. Please keep these men in your prayers.
Thank you to these and the many encouraging churches that have made our deputation full of positive memories. We are praying for you. We ask that you keep praying for the works and workers in Thailand, which always include weekly soul-winning times, discipleship, visitation, and many special activities for the ladies, teenagers, children, and men. We were thrilled to see our Brother Sakrapee (Thailand) have a chance to share his heart here in America and to see Missionary Scott Mercer take his place to preach in Thai. For our family, please pray for safety, health, and success on the road. May the Lord keep blessing where you serve, and may He continue to give peace, joy, and comfort in your life.
Grateful to serve,
Chad Inman and Family
