At the time of this publication, we are preparing for (or we're already in) Livingston, Montana. We understand that God "showed out" with His handiwork out West. We can't wait to see it! With that said, I remember a song once that said, "You may be the only Jesus some may ever see." Since the Montana Southern Baptist Convention has deemed Montana as a mission field ripe unto the harvest, how blessed we feel to be able to participate in that process. There are currently seven families serving as church planters in Montana and we hope that our service is an encouragement to them. https://mtsbc.org/church-planters/
​
Thank you for your offerings to meet the financial needs of the trip but especially for the prayers for safety, strengthening relationships, and being used as He sees fit as we follow the call according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
​
While Scripture calls us to "Go into all the world" (Mark 16:15), He particularly calls us to worship together (Hebrews 10:24-25) and to love our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew 22:39). In preschool Sunday School we were asked, "Who is your neighbor?". The answer? Everyone!
​
Tompkins does an excellent job of both.
​
One way that we love our neighbors who are close by is through donations.
​
Just a reminder of what's coming up:
​
-
Southern Care Hospice ministry continues the first Sunday of each month (September 3).
-
Christmas Shoeboxes are coming up in September​
​​
If you know of a way that our Tompkins family can encourage or meet a need in our community, please let us know. We may be the only Jesus some will ever see.
​
Serving beside you,
​
