The Dovers LCO Mission Trip

Lac Courte Oreilles (LCO) Reservation Mission Trip

Carmi and I are going back to the LCO Indian Reservation in Couderay, WI. (Our first time was with 37 people from our church, Greers Ferry Assembly of God Church.) We will be leaving Sept 5 and arriving home around Sept 22.

Our plans are to meet with various tribal leaders, continue our interaction with local pastors, do one-on-one and street ministry, home visitation, provide addiction recovery counseling, do inner healing and deliverance ministry, follow up (there will be an evangelist one weekend), and some building reorganization at the LCO Assembly of God church.

More than anything else we want to give hope, there is such hopelessness on the reservation. May they truly see the hope of the Gospel.

Great News

It is has been confirmed that Ed Sam will be joining us in ministry. Ed is a Native American gentleman that came to one of our sober houses in Seattle as an alcoholic, but now has over 10 years of sobriety.

Prayer Needs:
Many of the Native Americans on the LCO Reservation are very wounded, broken people. Many, or their relatives, have experienced much wounding from unbiblical Christianity. Many have suffered physical, emotional, and/or physical abuse. Many have addictions. Many are living at poverty level. Besides salvation, they need HOPE.
A. Pray for divine guidance.
B. Pray for the favor of God and the favor of man.
C. Pray for the anointing of God
D. Pray for signs and wonders to accompany the preaching of the Word.
E. Pray for protection.
F. Pray for direction regarding the future.

PS
It was our goal for Rich to get a part-time job in Sept to keep us from drawing from savings to cover monthly expenses. So it was very hard for use to make the decision to do this missions trip. But there have been too many confirmations that it is God’s will. So, once again, we live by faith.
