Walk To Emmaus

Chris will be on Monteagle Mountain this weekend at the Dubose Conference Center for the Men's Walk to Emmaus. He is serving on the Emmaus team this time around. He will drive directly from Atlanta tomorrow straight to the conference center. Fortunately, he will be home late on Sunday afternoon and we will head down to the Church to watch the game. Please pray that his weekend is blessed and that his travels are safe.

For those whom have asked, this is exactly what we will be doing when at Wounded Knee:


JOHN LOVELACE ASKS YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER SERVING OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ON THE PINE RIDGE RESERVATION IN SOUTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA JUNE 8-13 AND JUNE 15-20

For the past 11 “Junes” the Lord has called me to take youth and adults to conduct Vacation Bible Schools and build and repair houses, churches and ministry buildings for the Lakota Indians. Hundreds have been there with me and some stay for both weeks.

Each year the groups have done a good work for Jesus as they have helped a lot of children learn more about Jesus and lead a few of them to make decisions to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior during the Vacation Bible School.

Other members of the groups have helped a lot of people get very needed home repairs done and have built two new homes. Our groups have built 55 outhouses. Many churches and ministry buildings have been given much needed repairs. The groups have had to buy the materials they used in almost all of the building and repairs.

The groups take air mattresses and sleeping bags to sleep on at the Oglala Rec Center (Ass. of God) and Wounded Knee (WK) Church of God. These churches have showers with hot and cold water. Some of the volunteers cook delicious and hearty meals. Some sightseeing is done during the week.
