CC Fergus Falls - Prayer Update

Zechariah 4:10a "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin..."

Hello Friends and Family,

A few weeks ago we were studying Acts ch 20 and I had mentioned that Paul and his friends were taking up a collection to bring an offering to the church in Jerusalem to help them and then we concluded our study with the words of Jesus that 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'  Little did I know about God's perfect timing with this lesson and I was so amazed and encouraged to know that our family at Calvary Chapel Chico took up an offering and our friends drove 6hrs round-trip from the airport to bring us a love-gift offering. Wow! It is so humbling and heart-touching to receive the many encouraging cards and financial gifts. We are so blessed to be sent out from Calvary Chapel Chico and to see your continued love, support, and rich generosity for the church plant here in Fergus Falls MN.

God starts us out in the little things and recently I was reminded once again to not despise the days of small things. We have small and humble beginnings here in Fergus Falls, MN but continue to be totally dependent upon the Lord and minister for the glory of God. I want to encourage you that if you are faithful in the little things, in time God will allow for you a servant over the bigger things. In many of God's workers He uses a powerful season of small things and these days are not a mistake but they are days of priceless shaping and preparation for what God has next for us. So we do not despise these days but rejoice in all that the Lord is doing. We need to remember to be satisfied with the small things that God has called us to do and be faithful to those small things for the Lord rejoices to see His kids follow Him with all their heart.

Thank you so much for 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 soon to be born Caleb Molter

Jesus loves you! Be bold for the Lord!

Calvary Chapel Fergus Falls Church Plant Update

Ephesians 6:19 "Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel".

Hello friends and family,

God has been doing a work here in our fellowship and people have a hunger for the Word. It's such a joy to see people follow the Lord and watch lives change because of Jesus. We may be a smaller fellowship in size but we make up for it our love for one another. Recently we have been finding many people in the area who have been burned by a church or those who claimed to be Christians. It's hard for them to get back into a fellowship as they don't want to risk being hurt again. Our hope is to love them to the Lord and we ask God to repair any damage done. Please pray for us to share the Gospel message clearly to those without Jesus.

In regards to our family we had fun this last month celebrating our son Joshua's 3rd birthday by going up to Duluth for a "Day out with Thomas" the train, visiting the aquarium and then going to a "Go Fish Guys" concert here in Fergus Falls. What a blast we had! Anna is continuing to do good with this pregnancy and we are all so excited to see our second son Caleb around early December. God has been so good and so faithful and we wonder at times why we ever doubt Him as He is always there for us and never stops loving us.

We are rejoicing friends, as we hear updates on your continued love for the Lord and growth in the love and knowledge of Jesus Christ. We are so appreciative and grateful for your continued prayers for our family and for your prayers for the new church that the Lord is establishing here. We have also included some of our most recent pictures at the end of this update. Again we whole-heartedly believe that prayer is powerful and effective and we praise God for the work He is doing.

Praise Reports:

We praise God for the Calvary Chapel Chico Y.E.S. (Youth Excited to Serve) Team for their encouraging card and support of our family. What a blessing!

We continue to praise the Lord for being able to purchase a mini van as our family continues to expand. God gave us favor and we got a good deal by paying for it in cash.

We are so thankful to the Lord allowing us to be entrusted with our son Joshua and blessed that he had an awesome birthday turning 3 years old.

We also praise the Lord for His strength and His grace as we endure and press on in His power and His comfort and His love. Times can get tough but the Lord is always there for us.

We continue to praise the Lord for Tim's sister Alyssa who received Jesus and was recently baptized. She has such a new joy within her that is contagious.

We also praise the Lord for the five college students (from the local college ministry we support) who recently gave their lives to Jesus. For some it was a re-commitment of faith as they wanted to fully surrender to Jesus as both Savior and Lord.

Prayer Requests:

Please pray for our upcoming church events: Women's fellowship on Saturday, September 20th, Prayer for Pastor Saeed (to be freed from Iran) at our city hall on Friday, September 26h, and for our Harvest America outreach on Sunday, October 5th.

Please pray for our family as we continue to get ready for our son Caleb to join us in early December. (Caleb means wholeheartedly following the Lord or an under-dog who depends upon someone greater like God for help)

Please pray for us to have opportunities to share the gospel clearly in our community and for boldness to invite people to join us for Bible study.

Please also pray for the College Men's group Tim is leading on Thursday nights that the young men would draw closer to the Lord as they study the book of James together.

Please also pray for a couple in our fellowship who have opened their home to do a Wednesday evening Bible study in the book of Mark. Please pray for those who attend to grow in their faith and draw closer to the Lord there as well.

CC Fergus Falls - Molter Family Update

Psalm 1:2-3 "But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper."

Hello Family and Friends,

As we start into our second year as a Church in Fergus Falls we continue to praise God for the work He is doing and thank Him for even allowing us to be here. Well, the news is slowing spreading that there is a new church in town that simply teaches the Bible in such a way that you can learn what the Bible has to say. In the mist of a town full of religion and full of those who have never been told that God loves them and desires a relationship with them, we continue to press on, but only in Jesus, with His strength and power.

I believe that now, more than ever, people need the hope and encouragement that only the Word of God and His Spirit can provide. And so we ask that you would join us as we pray for hungry hearts in Fergus Falls, to receive all He has to offer as we keep teaching the Word. We also ask that you join us in prayer as our family continues to grow. We found out a few weeks ago that we are having another boy and Joshua is so excited to be a big brother. Friends, we praise the Lord for the joy He gives us as we serve Him and we thank you so very much for your support and encouragement.

Please Pray For:

• Our kids ministry as we are going through the Jesus Storybook Bible and we are in need of volunteers (we are open to putting this ministry on pause also, so the Lord's will be done).
• God to bring to our church a worship leader and for the Lord to move on someones heart to use their gift in the ministry going on here (God has put a few people on our heart already).
• Us to have a strong men's group as we seek to raise up more to join us on our team of volunteers.
• Our family as we celebrate Joshua's 3rd birthday this month. Where does the time go?
• Us to continue to wait upon the Lord and receive direction and encouragement from Him.
  

Praise God For:

• A wonderful Church Potluck Picnic as we fellowshiped and ate good food. Thank you Lord for transforming lives!
• Another child! What a blessing and we so look forward to our new baby boy due in early December
• His faithfulness and allowing for us as a church to support missions both near and far. (We are supporting Gospel for Asia with the Bridge of Hope ministry and our local Christian College outreach called Ignite)
• For a wonderful Pastors Conference in Costa Mesa and Tim being able to spend time with fellow pastors and get refreshed in the Lord.
• Our Community Church Service with 14 Churches and over 1,000 Christians worshiping together in Fergus Falls, MN. May we continue to work together to get the Gospel message out!
  

Thank you so much for your love, prayers and support for our family! And please let us know how we can be praying for you.

Pastor Tim Molter
