What a good time we had at the Bigfork Chapel Mission Banquet. It is always good to see Gods people come together in one accord, to reach everyone with God’s word.The banquet was potluck style, and as usual, we had a lot of good food, the church has many good cooks.
Everyone could smell all the good food in the next room, and were chomping at the bit to get after it. During the meal, each table was asked to open two quizzes that were placed on the tables. One quiz was about children of the bible and the other was to name animals that are native to Montana using each letter in the alphabet. Everyone had a good time doing that. They got all of the children question right. Some of the answers for the animals were a little questionable.
The Royal Rangers did a skit for us showing three boys around a campfire with two of them leading one boy to Christ. They did an excellent job, everybody there followed along with the sinners prayer, when God is in the house everyone is affected.
Next Scott spoke about the importance of missions and that missions is more than just something we talk about but the life of the church and the people involved. T
hat the only way we are going to be effective is to have the Holy Spirit flowing through us giving us the tools needed to break down stronghold and the wisdom and courage to reach the people in all walks of life. He talked about his ministry on the campus and the importance of reaching the students before they are the movers and shakers of this country and the world. Everybody went away with a new attitude and perspective of missions.
We finished the night with an overview of world missions and the exciting thing that are happening, and of our own mission program. Our mission program is gaining momentum each year. Our church is very mission mined and they show it by their giving of time and their resources.
I believe we have only scratched the surface as how the lord is going to use the people of Bigfork Chapel.
The theme for this year is Everyone, reaching everyone with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That Everyone whether corporate executive or a people group that hasn’t been found yet, must be given a chance to hear the story of Jesus in a way he or she can understand. The time of just saying, we believe without putting action to it is over.
The guest speaker was Scott & Anna Barnett. They are missionaries with CHI AlPHA Campus Ministries. Their ministry is at The University of Montana in Missoula.
The evening started with Pastor Richard welcoming everyone and opening with a prayer. Gordon read an article about how times have changed in just one year and what the church and each christian response should be to these changing times.
