Mission Outreach to Ronan Assembly of God

I cannot believe I am doing this painting and enjoying it. Painting is the one thing that I will do for God that I would not do for pay.

The Ronan Assembly of God church was in need of paint. A lot of the siding was just primed and needed painted. A lot of the paint was peeling off and when we washed the church with a power washer, the paint came off.

A small team from the Bigfork Chapel Assembly of God Church went to Ronan to paint and do whatever they could to help. The team members were Pastor Richard Stewart, Donnie Russell, Penny Durham, and Gordon Durham.

Because of the size of the building, we brought two sprayer, we also needed a lift to get to the high places, and many ladders. The building was not easy to paint but the Lord helped us all the way making the project fun and a joy to do. Everybody worked hard and we were able to finish in two days.

The church parsonage is on the same property and is in need of paint. We are planning to do that the first week in September. God has blessed our mission program giving us the ability to bless others, Praise the Lord.

Harlem Assembly of God Roof Project

The church parsonage in Harlem, Montana is an ongoing project. Our second trip to Harlem was to work on the roof. The roof was in bad shape and has been leaking for a while. There were four layers of shingles on the roof. The weight of the shingles was terminus thank God the house was well built. The plan was to remove the layers of shingles and replace with metal roofing.


Pastor James and some people from his church removed all the old shingles before we got there. Surprisingly the sheeting (1x12 boards) was in good shape only a few holes had to be repaired. We spent most of the first day removing nails and covering the roof with felt paper and ice and water shield.

The next day we started installing metal. The metal goes on fast except when you are working on a steep roof 10/12 pitch. Working with ropes slows down the work, and the day was very hot, but by 10:00 that night the roof was gone. The Lord was good and kept up our strength until the roof was completed.

Pastor James and his family are getting excited about moving in to their home, the next phase of the project is to finish the inside of the house. The team has plans to come back in about three weeks.
