We have our travel trailer parked at Lakeway Baptist Church in Atasocita, Texas. Pastor David Stone and all the church have been very welcoming to us. I have even had the honor of playing my “French Harp” with their musicians during services. If I can’t preach every Sunday on deputation I sure hope I can play my harmonica somewhere. Lakeway is the new church name in a new church building created when Northway and Lakeland Baptist Churches merged. It seems a match made in heaven at least judging by how much we have enjoyed the people, music and preaching.
On the 19th of September we traveled to the deep Piney Woods of East Texas to preach at Leagueville Baptist Church. We always enjoy our time with Pastor Tom Bragdon and his wife Lynetta. The folks at Leagueville have become very special to us during our time on deputation. I guess the feeling is mutual for the church voted to take us on for support while we were with them that morning. We thank them so much for their vote of faith in us and the Lord’s work.
That evening we presented First Vision Baptist to Willow Spring Baptist Church where Craig Locke is the pastor. As always the Lord surprises us with meeting new people who are undiscovered brothers and sister in Christ. We are overwhelmed by the Lord’s provision through the churches he has brought us into contact with. We pray for them daily and look for God to bless them for their care and love toward us.
I also have the privilege of teaching a Sunday Night Bible Study at my daughter Susan’s house. We are going through Romans and it has been a rich experience. It is a small group but a very precious one, especially since it includes our first grandchild, Calvin. Imagine, only a month old and he has already studied the book of Romans. How many of your grandkids can say that?
In October fellow Santa Fe missionary Chris Meier and I traveled to Broken Bow, Ok. We enjoyed the Bible conference at Lukfata Baptist Church, where Pastor Paul Pucket and his helpmate Dana were wonderful hosts to several missionaries and pastors. I presented our vision for Flagstaff and preached “Christ In Me: Experienced Through Prayer.” The preaching from all the pastors and missionaries was just what I needed and the fellowship was the “extra” every pastor or missionary needs to keep going. Thank you Lukfata family for doing all you did in taking care of us.
Thank you again for all your prayers during my recent health problems. I have made great progress toward regaining my health and want to say thanks to Memorial Baptist Church and Pastor Winston Wheeler for their generous love offering to help pay off any remaining Doctor bills. I was able to see a cardiologist and was told my heart is in much better shape but it would need to be treated with care if I wanted to avoid surgery in the next 10 years or so. A special thanks to my personal physician Dr. Smith for all he has done to get me through this time. I wouldn’t be here without his intervention and care. I believe the Lord sent him at just the right time to save my life. I owe so much to so many and can only say thank you and promise to try and be worthy of everyone’s sacrifice, offerings and care.
We will be in the Texas Gulf Coast region from now until January as we enjoy time with our grandchild, Calvin. We will continue to seek appointments in the area and within a few hours’ drive. If you need pulpit supply or would like to schedule a conference during this time please contact us.
In His Service,
Kris and LeeOra Minefee
We appreciate all those that support us financially and prayerfully. After 21 months of active deputation we are just over 50% of our goal. We are praying for $4000 a month in support. This amount will allow us to rent a building/ home, help with personal expenses and purchase supplies needed for our ministry in Flagstaff Arizona.
