Devil's Night - NOT!!!!

Friends,
I want to share a wonderful thing that happened on Halloween night; often called the Devil's night. We were asked by Christian Life Center in Spring Lake MI to participate in their annual Harvest Festival. They have a fun evening of carnival type games and free food for their community with a presentation of the gospel at the end of the night's activities; over 200 hundred people attended this year's event. Large bags of candy are handed out after the special service so everyone stays for it.
Tim and I did a fun skit with Tim appearing as a nerdy and crazy guy named, Willie, who was trying to figure out how to get to heaven. There was much laughter at Willie's antics as he checked into taking a train or plane to get to heaven.
We presented the salvation message at the end of the skit and shared with everyone that Jesus is the only way to heaven; we had 28 children come forward for salvation from their sins that night.
In addition, there were several families that came to the event for the first time and filled out cards requesting a visit or call from a representative from the church. We must use every opportunity to reach the lost people of our communities; we were glad to be part of this community outreach.

Update - November 6, 2007

Dear Friends,

Thank you for continuing to check our website; I try to update it every week or 10 days.

We are still not in our apartment which means we are still living the gypsy lifestyle. We stay with family and friends around the country while our belongings stay stored in a container in Blissfield MI. We are thankful for the hospitality of family and friends.

We traveled to Missouri on the 3rd of this month; last Saturday. We had services in Springfield, Mo Sunday morning and in Bourbon, Mo Sunday night the 4th. This Wednesday evening we have services in Carthage MO and at Grace A/G in Springfield on Thursday evening. We will travel back to Michigan on Friday; we have a Missions banquet on Saturday evening and services in Marysville on Sunday evening.

As you can see, we stay busy traveling and holding services. We share our burden for missions and our missions calling with congregations in Michigan and Missouri. Later this month we will be in North Carolina for a few weeks. We go wherever to Lord opens a door for us to minister.

Usually, we spend Tuesday through Thursday on the phones contacting churches in various districts. Please remember that if you want to contact us via email, use tim.jarvis@agmd.org

Please pray with us for the following needs:
1. We are in urgent need of monthly support; please pray that churches/individuals will be moved by the Holy Spirit to partner with us to reach the lost souls of Tanzania. We are at a critical time in our itineration process.
2. Pray for us to have traveling mercies as we travel through different states; especially as the winter weather approaches.

We want to thank all of you for your prayers on our behalf; we continue to believe God for a miracle in our finances. We feel an urgency to return to Tanzania as soon as possible.

Blessings,
Tim and Joyce Jarvis
