"But Simon answered and said to Him, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net". And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men."" - Luke 5:5,6,10 NKJV
Hello Friends and Family,
Thank you for praying for our Community Worship Service and for Tim as he was one of the three speakers this year. From the get-go Tim made it clear to the other two pastors teaching that we should give an invitation for people to receive Christ. Once they agreed they then asked Tim to be the one close the service and give a call for people to come to Christ. Well, we had about 1,000 people in our town of Fergus Falls gathered together that morning as 1 church. After the invitation was given for people to receive Jesus Christ about 10 made the best decision they will ever make and went home with a Bible provided by our fellowship. To God be the glory!
At times we can feel so discouraged because the size of our fellowship seems not to be growing in numbers, but then God reminds us that we must be faithful with what He has called us to. There are many days we feel like we should just give up and then right around the corner God lifts us back up and encourages us to keep going. A few things we have learned over the last two years are that Church planting is not for the fainthearted, if you don't give up you can easily outlast your critics, and finally to do your best and leave the rest up to the Lord. The Midwest is truly an interesting and different place to live in, and daily we learn how to be missionaries here. We miss our church family back in California and pray for you guys often. Again we want to say thank you for not forgetting about us here and for praying with us.
Community Worship Service on Sunday, July 5th.

Praise Reports:
- California Family Visited - Anna's family was able to visit and we had a blast with them.
- Salvation at our community worship service - we hope they now grow in Christ Jesus.
- We are blessed with two wonderful boys who help us draw closer to Jesus.
- Salvation for Connor - Tim was able to interact with him through Facebook right after the Same Sex Marriage Ruling. He claims to be a Christian and yet does not want to follow the teachings of the Bible. Tim treated him to pizza and was able to share the Gospel message with him. Pray that Connor would be born-again and desire to follow the real Jesus Christ of the Bible.
- More Servants - Please pray for God to raise up people who have a heart to serve Him and help others grow in the love and knowledge Jesus Christ.
- Slow and Steady Growth - Pray for us to not grow weary while doing good!
Again we can't say thank you enough and how much we appreciate your love, prayers and support for our family! And please let us know how we can be praying for you.
Pastor Tim, Anna, Joshua, and Caleb Molter
Jesus loves you! Be bold for the Lord!
