Ministry Update from North Dakota and northern Minnesota & Mankato
By Tom Shanklin
I had great meetings in churches in LaMoure, North Dakota, Spring Grove, Minnesota, and Shell Lake, Wisconsin in May. I preached for the first time at the First Church of the Nazarene in Jamestown, North Dakota to a receptive crowd for a Friday night meeting. Many told me afterwards that they were blessed by the ministry of the Word of God. In Gary, Minnesota, I met with a group of ministers to plan evangelistic outreaches for this summer and fall. We also held a joint service with two churches on Sunday morning and enjoyed a great time of fellowship and ministry of the Word. In our home town of Mankato, Susan ministered in at the Word of Life Lutheran Church. The women were blessed by her testimony and the message of salvation through the Son of God. Everywhere we go, we are seeing that God’s Word has the power to bring forgiveness, transformation, and healing. Many are receiving help, blessing, and encouragement and God’s Word is going forth.
