We are so excited and blessed to report the establishment of The Church of God in Havre, MT. We received permission from Bro. Bock the Great Plains Regional Overseer and on Easter Sunday of 2008 The Church was established with 7 members with a combined total of 13 because of the kiddos!
The Alexanders (Kirby and Nancy) were have been SO generous and kind by letting us stay with them until our rental house was ready the first of April. Also, Caleb and Mandie Alexander have been such a big blessing as well by feeding our crew.
My mom also has moved up here to Havre and has settled right in to her own place and is a HUGE asset to the local church.
We are so excited as God has also given us a place to worship on Friday nights and Sundays. Our local church is meeting in the local mall's community room and as you can see it is HUGE! We have a lot of room for growth. The best part is, the mall is letting us use it for only 10 bucks a week!! We have a projector, 2 great song leaders, 1 pretty poor guitar player, and a lot of excitement!
We are getting settled in our new place and have started a pretty big garden...I hope it turns out well...its our first one ever! I just keep thinking about the scriptures...plant, water, God gives the increase! LOL! We planted the garden in hopes to save money on food...it should produce quite a bit and we have some really good root vegetables we will jar this fall...we'll see how it goes! Brother Caleb has a friend who is able to get us half a hog for just under a $100.00 and deer season should produce about 3 or 4 animal, not counting the fish...we should be able to feed pretty inexpensive and that is a big blessing from God!
The kids got going on school and we are really excited about that. We are doing Alpha Omega's LIFEPAC program which is 5 subjects per grade. Plus, we were able to grab a great deal on Rosetta Stone's Russian (2 year program) for Hannah and Ethan.
I guess what I am trying to say with this update is Lib and I feel really at home and feel like after such a hectic past couple of years, we are finally where we belong and it feels SO GREAT to be at peace and getting settled in with our life and ministry.
So, Enjoy the pics everyone and please feel free to come visit us in Montana's best kept secret...Havre!
God bless you all!

You guys... Sam and I will continue to pray that the new work in Havre will be a blessing to all who enter. I am happy the Alexanders have a church finally and the Lord has answered their prayers. Take care of them all. We love that family. God Bless your work in Havre.
Yeah...new pictures! I'm so glad things are going well for you guys! We, too, have been praying that the Lord will bless all that is done in Havre. Can't wait to come visit...sometime.
Praise the Lord for the church in Havre. Thank you for the update. I know what you mean about a garden. David and Josh are going to plant one for us also, because the price of food is outrageous. The gas prices are outrageous also. The gas is up to $3.59 right now.
Glad to hear the good news. Looking forward to reading about more of God's blessings in Havre.
I was just lurking about and found your blog and just had to comment on all the wonderful news.I am so excited for you and the family. Say hello to your mom for me. The pictures are great of all of you. We (Brooks family) will be praying for the new established church there. Praise the Lord! May many souls be reached.
Wow--a new post! I had just about quit coming to check. ;-)
LOVE the pictures. It's so good to kind of "see" everybody! We will be praying for all of you up there. God can do GREAT things in that little corner of the world. I'm anxious to hear all about them!
