Where is this?  Follow link

Mike, Betty and Jon want to thank you all for your prayers for us while we were in Mexico.  We felt the protection and presence of God throughout the entire trip.  The flights went well as did all the ground transportation.  Please check out the pictures in the gallery http://heartlandfw.org/photos/dayspring-2010-dmt/.

The Discipleship Training class this year was smaller, just 7 students but the students were very ready for our teaching.  We taught on the Father heart of God with several different sessions on forgiveness, receiving His love and the need to choose to be in His presence.  He responded with an overwhelming flood of love for them as they pressed into Him in times of worship after each session.  God gave us words of exhortation for each of the students that were well received.  We also did teaching / sharing at 2 church services.  For more stories please talk to Mike, Betty or Jon.

We are considering doing a summer trip where we would be helping the class in outreach into some villages with VBS and praying for people.  If you are interested in being part of the summer trip please talk to Pastor Jon or send an email.

Greetings,

Our week here has been going very well. The group is smaller than it has been in years past, but we can see that where they lack in numbers they are making up for in maturity. They are meshing well together (Mexicans and Americans) and seem to really put a high value in serving one another.

The classes have been a real joy to teach. Both Jon and I are noticing that the Mexican students are much more open than they have been before. We think part of this is due to one of the Mexican girls who is on staff. She was a student in the school the first time we were here 4 years ago. She has shown a lot of vulnerability in being open about her struggles and her need for intimacy with God. So it is neat to see how the fruit is bearing from what we planted 4 years ago that is causing more fruit to produce this year at a quicker rate. I prayed with a young man named Omar who shared with me his hurt that stemmed back from his mothers death and how he felt responsible for her death and how God was punishing him for being a bad son. That was just one thing we prayed for this young man and each time we walk him through prayers of repentance and accepting Father’s love he comes away with a big old grin on his face. Its neat to see him becoming more and more free of the guilt and shame and experiencing Father’s embrace. I feel so privileged to share my testimony and see others changed because of it.

Thank you for your prayers. We have one more day of teaching and then we will be leaving for Texas Friday afternoon. God Bless.

A Very Big THANK YOU!! Chi Megwich!! to you our friends and to your friends who you encouraged to vote for us. RainSong has won the 2009 Native American Music Award in the “Best Spoken Word Recording” catagory for their CD “The Great Story from the Sacred Book”!

The 11th annual award ceremony was held in Niagara Falls New York at the Seneca Casino on October 3 2009. RainSong had been nominated for 2 catagories, “Best Gospel Recording” and “Best Spoken Word Recording”.

The ceremony was video taped and streamed on the internet.  However, the “televised” portion only gave out 10 of the 21 awards.  The category we won was announced during intermission and we received our award about 2am at the after party that was not “televised”.  Our apologies to all who sat at their computers and faithfully watched the 3 hour show.  It was a pretty good show… we enjoyed most of the performances. One thing that sticks out in my mind is the Best Spoken Word is God’s story…

We’re busy in the studio on our 5th CD… our 4th music CD….  We appreciate your prayers.  It’s been a struggle… as with all things worth while.

The theme was The Kingdom of God in a Cultural Context. New insights and perspectives were shared and explored. Many were touched deeply and wept. Some local Native Pastors attended and danced with us. The final evening they served communion. It was a good week.

We also had a great weekend near Minneapolis/St. Paul at the Way of the Lord church in Blain Minnesota. The church there welcomed us and opened their doors wide in fellowship and support of our Native Peoples. Gabriel and Terry both spoke and RainSong led worship. New relationships are being formed to further the Kingdom of God among our Native Peoples.

Please pray for us as the Gates are opening on some of the Reservations here. We have been told that some of the Tribal Chief’s will be welcoming RainSong personally to their land. We are also being welcomed to the Mole Lake Reservation in Wisconsin for a concert there on our way home Sept 1st.

Someone donated 50,000 lbs of potatoes to give away and today someone wants to donate a semi truckload of bread. A local Ojibwe man, Glenn Beaulieu is organizing the meetings at Red Lake and good reports are coming in.
