Urgent Appeal

Dear praying partners in the Great Work

As the Good News on the Move journey draws to a close, we want to express again our deep gratitude to all who have invested in this effort with your prayers and fellowship in the gospel. How the Lord has protected, encouraged, provided and blessed!

There are just a few weeks left before the team heads for the grand finale in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The dates for that event are Saturday afternoon, June 3 through Saturday morning, June 9.

We want to make an urgent appeal to you.

Of course we long for your concerted prayers and thank you in advance. But we also want to ask: Are you able and willing to join the team for "Good News, Sioux Falls!"? If you have a love for souls, a desire to see advancement of the cause of Christ, and a willingness to work with other like-minded believers, you are heartily invited.

Some will come to pray as they help prepare meals. Some will be involved with Kid's Clubs in the park, some in open air preaching. Some will serve as door hangers (simply leaving a pack of literature on the door handles), others as door knockers (seeking to engage people in spiritual conversation). There is a place for every evangelistically-minded person. The Lord will direct you as to what you can do for Him.

We have reserved rooms in the Best Western Ramkota Hotel, a moderately priced hotel (check it out at siouxfalls.ramkota.com). You may book rooms by calling their direct phone line at 605-336-0650. By mentioning the "Good News, Sioux Falls!" group, you will get our special discounted rate. The hotel provides free parking, free shuttle service to and from the airport, and has many amenities including indoor pool, exercise room, and wireless internet.

The day as a group will begin with a hot buffet breakfast (included in the price), followed by a time of prayer, strategy, and stories of God's dealings the day before. We will then proceed to the activities mentioned above. We hope to have a noon gathering for singing, testimonies, and lunch, then back into afternoon outreach.

In the evenings we will participate in whole-team activities. We are renting the historic courthouse in the center of town for three nights (Monday-Wednesday) for a series entitled "Christianity on Trial at the Old Court House." We have already sent in the graphics for a strategic billboard to announce the event. We will also have Bible talks at our hotel on Thursday and Friday evenings.

There is much more information in the April Uplook magazine. It may be seen on Uplook's website at www.uplook.org
