Requests –
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The Lord has been richly blessing our mission work in Minnesota. In the past few months, a special outreach was held, with 47 in attendance and one salvation! In the past several weeks, there has been one other salvation, and two baptisms held.
A building has been located that would give the mission work a permanent home. It will seat 100 people, has pews included, a fellowship hall as well as Sunday School rooms. An interesting fact is that this building is located on the National Register of Historic Places, having been built in 1860.
While it is obviously an old structure and needs some remodeling, it is in excellent condition. Located just one mile from a major interstate, and in an area that has no scriptural church for many, many miles, we feel led by the Lord to pursue this opportunity.
In order to purchase the building and property and make the needed repairs, we need to raise $70,000 as soon as possible. In this economic climate, financing is simply not an option. We prayerfully ask for you to help us! Any amount is greatly appreciated!
We ask that you send your offerings directly to Maranatha Baptist Mission P.O. Box 355, Becker, MN 55308
As a reminder, our mission work is one of just two (the other being in Wadena, MN- a couple of hours away) ABA works in the entire state.
In Christ,
Scott Barker
