Molter Family - Calvary Chapel of Fergus Falls, MN - 2019 Update

HAPPY EASTER (RESURRECTION DAY) !

 

 

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights..." James 1:17

   

Dear Family and Friends,

Happy Springtime to you all, we made it through another winter and the snow here is finally melting away. It's been awhile since our last update and that could be due to us having our third son named Samuel David Molter born on January 9th. Both he and Anna were healthy and everyone's doing well. We were even able to enjoy some extra time with family who came out to help support us through this transition. As far as doing foster-care we were able to take a little break and we'll be looking at doing respite weekend care going forward. We are happy to report that the five-year old little girl we watched for six months is doing well and so is her mother, whom we have also been in contact with. It has been a blessing for our family to help in this way but also a reminder of just how important family is.

    

We were also able to celebrate Anna's birthday in March, which was also a busy month for us. Tim got the opportunity to teach at Calvary Chapel Fargo at a Men's Conference and was truly refreshed as well. So often in ministry we pour out our lives and if we are not careful we can burnout. To avoid that we also need to take in some time with the Lord and truly hear from Him. This was that kind of a conference for Tim. He also got to take several men with him to experience just how united we are in Christ even though each of us are different. Anna is preparing for a Women's Retreat coming up in May, and we ask that you be in prayer for all of the Moms, Wives, and Sisters in Christ who will be going.

    

Our desire is to take the gospel to the lost and we have been able to do that through foster-care and another door is opening up for us to disciple even more. Tim has been meeting every other week with another man in town named Jesse who has a heart to train young boys to be Godly men and has asked Tim (since he made Eagle Scout) to be apart of starting a program similar to BSA program called Trail Life. Tim has also been a light in the workplace with doing workplace devotions, a weekly men's Bible study onsite, and participate in a leadership course at Douglas Machine in Alexandria, MN. We have been blessed to be on the leadership team as board members at our local Christ-centered homeschool co-op, encouraging other families to really live for Christ and raise their children in the Lord. We are always blessed to see how the Lord is working through each of the students. 

  

Our church fellowship has been growing and we are praying for God to raise up someone to help lead our time of worship and praise. Until then we have been making the most of technology to sing unto the Lord and as a whole have become healthier through the word of God and the spirit of God moving in the hearts of the people of God. We have been going through the Book of Revelation and talking about end time events which has really been preparing our hearts for the return of Christ. It's caused all of us to make sure that we are sold out disciples for Jesus Christ. Even our son Caleb was led by God to share John 3:16 after a recent church service. Praise God you are never too young or old to serve Christ!

    

You can be in prayer for us as we continue to reach out to those around us here in our very religious area, in fact so many people assume because they were baptized as a child/infant or went through confirmation or grew up in a family who claim to be Christians that they are automatically Christians as well. There are a lot of assumptions that we have been challenging as God has only children and no-grandchildren. We continue to have many fruitful conversations and press forward as we have an obligation and an opportunity to speak the truth in love and encourage people to receive Jesus Christ. Also we would love to someday have people come on short term mission trips to serve our community through evangelism and outreach with the people in the Midwest. It's a beautiful lakes area and also a vacation spot for many who love the great outdoors.

       

We continue to live by faith and are thankful as we have seen God provided in so many ways for both our family and our church fellowship. We want to say "Thank you" to our personal friends and church family for your continued prayers and financial support. We did want to let you know because some of you have had issues with our monthly giving setup using PayPal, that we now have a new way for you to donate online and we encourage you to check it out as it has a much better way to setup monthly giving and or even a single donation and can give from your mobile device by texting CCFF to 555-888.

We are so thank you all of your support and prayers. Please know that you are making an investment in the Kingdom with us here and we pray God's blessing upon you and your family. We love you all!

- Pastor Tim, Anna, Joshua, Caleb, and Samuel Molter
