traditional baccalaureate service honor- ing God, who has faithfully helped them over these past four years, as well as praying for their future.


As a response to the Scriptural


command to care for those in need, our church has sent a team to serve evening meals at the People’s City Mission in Lincoln, Nebraska, monthly over the last four months — January through April. The various teams were made up of adults and teens serving together.


Thankfully, we will be back in full


swing with our Vacation Bible School again this year, June 1 through 5, using the Answers in Genesis “Mystery Island” curriculum.


Our men are looking forward to the


monthly prayer breakfast on Saturday, May 22 with speaker Cory Townsend of the Nebraska State Patrol. Cory is a graduate of Grace University and a 20-year veteran with the Nebraska State Patrol. He worked in the “Internet Crimes Against Children” task force. He is speaking on the subject, “Is It possible to Have Peace as a Parent in a Digital World.” Sensing a deeper need for the power source of the church, men have also been meeting for a time of prayer on Wednesday mornings.

Lustre EMB Church Lustre, Montana Searching for a Pastor Beacon Bible Camp is being pre-


pared and camps are being planned by Director Dan Mohasco of our church and his team. The Transition team has been formed by the Interim Pastor. We were encouraged taking part in the Virtual Montana Prayer Breakfast with Governor Giavanti and mayors who are believers, praying with them early Satur- day morning, April 10.


On April 24, Lustre EMB Church


hosted the Children’s Shelter of Cebu 2021 Virtual Celebration with a light supper. The theme was “Every Child Has a Story.” The evening included testi- monies from children and teens at the


orphanage and School of Hope, a virtual tour, and reports from leadership. Field Director, Roberto Atienza, answered questions of those present via Skype following the presentation. The evening was exciting!


Roberto’s wife, Heather, is a mem-


ber here at Lustre EMB, and she is the daughter of Dwaine Wall. The Atienzas have been in the Philippines for almost two years, and will be speaking June 27, Lord willing, when they have furlough this summer. Please pray for safe travels for this missionary family in May, as they come, and as they return in August.


Pray for the 75 children being cared


for at the orphanage. Due to the pandemic, they have been in lockdown with caregiv- ers since March of 2020. Pray that adop- tions can proceed soon for those eligible.

Countryside Bible Church Meade, Kansas Johnathan Dale , Pastor www.countrysidebiblechurch.net This spring has brought some spe-


cial events and changes to our church. We praise the Lord for His faithfulness and guidance as we have launched a new church plant in our neighboring town of Liberal. Taylor Wiens, along with his wife Abigail and newborn son James, have started holding services in the con- ference room of Comfort Suites hotel. It is exciting to see the Lord drawing the hearts of some to fellowship at Redeemer Bible Church (RBC) and hopefully one day joining the church. More informa- tion can be learned on their website (https://www.rbcliberal.com).


In preparation for the launch of this


church, our church body did an evange- listic event. Church members have had several opportunities to meet and go door to door in parts of Liberal sharing news of the church and sharing the Gospel as the Lord gave us opportunity. These have been very special times for our church body to support RBC and to evangelise those we may not have other- wise have met.


FELLOWSHIP FOCUS, JUNE/JULY 2021 22


This spring we also shared a few


events with our church body. We held a church retreat in Woodward, Oklahoma, and participants were challenged by the speaker to live authentic Christian lives. We also had an Easter Cookout and will be having a Father-Son campout to encourage young men in their walk with the Lord.

Martensville Mission Church Martensville, Saskatchewan Justin Klassen, Pastor www.facebook.com/martensvillemi ssionchurch For the past several months, Pastor


Justin has been taking us through the Book of Revelation. We have been truly blessed by the picture of God in his glorious splendour returning as the ultimate victor. Pastor Justin will be wrapping up this series at the end of June and then plans to go through Colossians over the summer.


Our Wednesday night Bible stud-


ies continue with the theme from the previous Sunday’s sermon. This is a great opportunity for further discussion and for people to ask questions to learn more or get more clarity on something that was said on Sunday morning.


Because of the pandemic, we have


been unable to hold our annual Missions Conference. The Missions Committee wanted to stay connected with our mis- sionaries this year, so we requested video presentations from several missionaries which are played during the Sunday morning service.


We are still hoping at least some of


the pandemic health restrictions will be lifted by summer. If they are, we are hoping to hold a few barbeques at the church, whether that be on a Saturday or after church on a Sunday, to help facilitate fellowship once again. It has definitely been lacking through this stretch of the pandemic.
