Our run to CO was blessed of God at every
turn. I felt a “heaviness....an unseen resistance” through
it all but God was so incredibly faithful! At every meeting we had
scheduled, He would move and direct it and each meeting was uniquely
different from each other. At the nightly meetings, several people
received inner healing and also the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
There was a definite call to repentance and a turning to God in
preparation for the times ahead.
The Sunday morning Cowboy Church service
at the Loveland rodeo was held in the brand new coliseum. We were
greatly blessed to have at the beginning of the service an honor
paid to our veterans. The color guard was presented along with a
man dressed in a kilt playing the bagpipe. He played wonderful and
it was moving. Then we did a “human video” using kids
from the area who were involved in 4H and the fair. They performed
the song “What Did He Die For” by Twila Paris with kids
dressed in camouflage depicting a WWII scene of a young man giving
his life for his country and for freedom. That was followed by a
scene of Jesus being crucified with a young 4H’er doing an
awesome job portraying Jesus on the cross and kids dressed as Roman
soldiers buffeting him. Tyger and Colt played their usual part in
it and our own Alyssa Merka came along with us on this trip and
she “signed” the video as the others acted it out. Dennis
and Jeanie Smith came with us on this run also and they played the
part of the parents who received the telegram that their son had
been killed in action. The kids we recruited had never seen it done
before and only got to run through it fully 1 time. They did an
incredible job! The large crowd was moved to tears as the video
spoke more than words alone could ever do.
