Minot Flood Relief: Neighborhood Rally Weekends

Posted by CLB Network | Published on June 5, 2012

Several weeks ago, Nick stood before our entire congregation and shared from his heart about how God used work crews from two different Lutheran Brethren churches on a Saturday last summer to bring hope to his family, help for his home, and the chance to experience eternal life in Jesus Christ. Nick and his wife were ready to give up and move away when our friends from Jamestown and Eau Claire showed up to help with his house. Following that weekend, Nick began attending Our Redeemer’s Church, and several months later he came to faith in Jesus.

We want to invite you and your congregation to join in the work that God is doing here in Minot. There is still much difficult work to be done, and we have a plan to make an impact in our community this summer.

While we would certainly welcome teams any time that is convenient for you, we are focusing our efforts in on three specific weekends throughout the summer. Our plan is to target one neighborhood each of those weekends, sending hundreds (hopefully!) of God’s people into those neighborhoods to truly make a difference in the lives of the residents. This will enable us to take on a wide variety of projects (everything from cleaning up trash to finish carpentry), allowing opportunities for people of all skill levels to take part in these weekends!

In the midst of a long recovery, God is doing great things. Please consider sending a team to Minot to partner with us for one of these three weekends. Also, if one of these weekends will not work, please contact us about scheduling a time for your team to come and live out the lifechanging message of the Gospel!

Our Neighborhood Rally Weekends are scheduled for:

June 9-10
June 23-24 (The one-year anniversary of the flood)
August 11-12

If you have any questions please contact the church office at 701.838.0750 or email flood@ourredeemers.org
Thank you for your support and your partnership in the gospel!
