Your prayers have been answered.

God is so powerful!! I have seen your prayers being answered with my own eyes! I asked you to pray for growth in Granby, Colorado this summer. But God has taken your prayers and gone beyond my expectations- Like He always does! :) Our church is growing. Emery Bear is one of our newest members, and boy has be been used. He was once a preacher for the Lord's church, but for many years had not been in attendence. Out of the blue, he came visiting and immediately jumped in!! We've been blessed by his insight and zeal for God's kingdom, and now he has a preaching job Rangely, CO!! in just 5 or 6 months, God created a spiritual monster. We just received a call just now from him, that he already baptised a person!!! God is SO so good!! He has taken your prayers for Granby, and spread the growth all the way to Rangely. Wow!

Some more new part time members, that have also been incredibly uplifting and zealous, and Roger and Stella Holly. They will be moving to Oregan on Tuesday, and will not return to our little town.. God really brought them to us at the perfect time, and they've really, really touched out hearts.

Gale and Paul kite, and sharon and Lynn Jennings, are also leaving us for the summer.(this makes up about half the congregation!) God had a specific purpose for bringing this group together this summer, and it has been amazing.

Granby Church of Christ is so special. The Lord's bride is beautiful, and it's hard to leave this internship. I'll be leaving for study abroad in Athens, Greece on Thursday with Harding University, and the things I've seen this summer will be with me forever. As I close out this blog, please keep the intense mission field in Granby Colorado in your prayers... If we ask Him, God can go even further, and use his members to reach out to those we‘d never think He‘d touch.

God bless!!

Mountain View Church of Christ Visit!

August 29, some of us traveled to Buena Vista, Colorado, to spend some time with Mountain View Church of christ! Dave did a sermon called "Carrying Our Own Cross," along with a little talk about what the Lord has been doing in Granby. Aftwards the family of believers had a potluck prepared for us, and a devotional following. :) It's always a blessing to meet with believers who can share in our struggle with the Colorado mentality and church growth! :)

Fellowship day/ cookout at Roger and Stella's!

What an encouragement it is to be around family. had a great time at the Holly's campground! enjoyed some live entertainment, who knew we had such talented members at our little church? and ate some yummy hot dogs and s'mores! :)


They taught me how to play a game called "snake toss" or something!! :D It was incredibly addicting and entertaining!! :)




We will miss Roger and stella SO MUCH after this summer!! :) They're in my prayers.. so greatful for their love!

miss you two!

John Fears Gospel Meeting from Pocahontas. Arkansas

the past month has been incredibly uplifting! The gospel meeting with John Fears kicked us off, putting us on a spiritual high. Praise God for the messages He spoke to us through John! :) and we're sure thankful for the willingness to travel all the way out here to be used as an instrument of God's glory! THANKS!

back from a very busy three weeks!

God has been doing wonderful things, as always the past 3 or 4 weeks! I was blessed with the opportunity to be a counselor for 2 weeks at "Kamp Koinonia." http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/note.php?note_id=413862273620(a more detailed description) the theme was "Rebuilding the Wall." and it was a great time!

When I got back from those two weeks, Bear Valley Church of Christ came and had a wonderful fellowship potluck with us!! It was incredibly encouraging to have the church building pretty filled up! Especially with such fantastic people.

Next, I went off the a girls camp to counsel, called Higher Ground Encampment!

This is a teen girls camp put on by Bear Valley! This was the second year it was done, and we had around 35 girls! What a fantastic experience. one girl, Christy, was baptised into Christ. And the sunday after, Jordan Balbin
We also had serveral girls come forward, expressing their needs for change and repentence. God worked wonders :)

I returned back home to my church family, seeing their excitement for the upcoming gospel meeting!! John Fears, from Pocahontis, Arkansas was returning to feed us some great Bible and stir up some excitement for growth! what an immense blessing from God.

Our Time with Loveland Church of Christ Youth Group

The wonderful group of 23 teenagers and some adult leaders left Sunday the 27th after spending 4 days serving God at our little Church! They spread so many seeds all over our community, and set such wonderful examples for all of us! I Pray that we're able to pick up where they left off.





painting the building, door knocking, service projects in the community (Just told them where the church was and asked how they can serve.. they have some great stories and ended up helping out a lot of people!)



They also put on Vacation Bible School, building a fire pit, weeding, clearing the area for landscaping, leading worship, and most importantly encouraging our congregation to seriously serve and evangelize. God is so good.






Jim and Cindy Mueller kindly opened up there house for the girls to stay in for the 4 days! They had an AWESOME campfire and cookout for us

The Adults that came with the group put on some hilarious skits around the campfire!

As you can guess, I was sad to see them go!! What great kids!!


Thanks, once again our congregation was great at thanking them and preparing food for the potluck on Sunday to see them off.
Tomorrow night, the 30th Emery will finish up his fantastic series on Jesus, the heart, soul, and spirit.. And my dad, David Howard will begin a short series entitled "Culture or Church?"
following that, I'm SO excited for the quarter hour of power! More information about that to come.
SEE YOU TOMORROW! :)

Loveland Church of Christ Youth Group has arrived safely!

at 5:00 the group arrived! The plan is to split into teams, one team putting flyers out around the towns of Granby, GrandLake, Fraser, and possibly winter park, and the other team is to paint the exterior of the church building! It's going to be some fantastic serving! The girls are starting at 8:30 AM and boys a bit earlier.

I'll be going along with the team that is handing out flyers, and if anyone would like to come with me that would be great!

Also you're encouraged to stop by, some of the people from Loveland have just taken off to purchase food for the next few days, but if our members would like to stop in and bring treats again, or just meet the kids that would be wonderful!

If you feel like doing some painting or service projects, you're also welcome to come over! :)

After VBS on Saturday morning, the group will once again split into teams. One team doing service projects and handing our invitations to church, and the other team landscaping and such. We'll have a campfire devo at the Mueller's house Friday night and everyone's invited! :)

Keep the workers in your prayers as they're serving our Lord in this mission field!
