Happy Thanksgiving!

Well it's already holiday season again. Time really seems to fly by so fast. We are over half way through with our bus contest and have already seen over 100 visitors in church since we started. God has blessed us Greatly with souls saved and lives changed. Many young families are growing in The Lord and serving Him well in the ministry. We would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and say Thank You all for your support and prayers.

Fall Campaign

Bus Bowl 2012
Preseason ended with a high day of 182 on buses so we set a goal of 200 for the big day. In our second week of the regular season we already reached that goal with 202 last Sunday. Praise The Lord! God is Good!

School Year 2012-2013

We were able to open school once again this year with kids on the waiting list. After losing another teacher from last year we had to limit the enrollment even more this year. We have begun the year working hard to plug holes and fill gaps as we are training new graduates to learn our system and be able to take over teaching duties. I am asking everyone to please pray for my mom who this year has three grades to teach in a traditional setting which is next to impossible. She has had three surgeries in the last year and may be facing another if the last one did not fix the problem. Now she is dealing with stressful classroom problems causing anxiety attacks and high blood pressure issues. We are not able to loose her as a teacher without having to drastically change the whole school system or cut attendance to a minimum. Serious prayers are needed in this area as we are praying for folks to answer the call of God to come and help in the ministry. As always God is Good and Satan is fighting so pray for us as we keep on keeping on.

Summer Jump

This past summer was so very busy as we had many weeks of Bible Camps, Work Groups, & Missions Trips. We ended up with over 90 folks saved from June through August. God blessed us in our partnership with the Bearing Precious Seed groups coming in for two weeks of canvassing the county with scripture. At the end of each week we were able to have a Thursday night service. When I got done preaching to a packed out open air Tabernacle 28 got saved one week & 24 got saved the other week. God truly blessed us as we were able to share the Gospel with so many folks. Thanks to all those who took time to come out and help us reach the Navajo Nation one soul at a time.

117 Saved during Spring Campaign with 38 more saved at Cowboy Camp meeting! Praise the Lord!

Easter Sunday

Looking forward to our annual big day. Already had several visitors lined up to come from Teen Soul Winning this week. Had two more saved today with 2 whole new families committing to coming on the bus and two more families driving in. Praise the Lord for all He is doing to use us in His work.

First Pitch Sunday

Spring Campaign began on time change Sunday. The first inning of our baseball themed contest (Covering the Bases) sprang into action with 16 visitors, 8 saved, & 2 baptized. Morning sermon on 1st things 1st from Mt. 6:33 was a real hit. Praise the Lord for all the hard work by our great workers in every ministry, and God's blessings on this exciting start.

February Newsletter 2012

Dear Friends, Family, and Fellow Supporters:

We are so excited about serving the Lord and have much to report as we are headed into an extremely busy spring campaign next month. Our theme this year is baseball and we are expecting a home run. God has blessed us with souls saved every week so far this year as usual. We ended our big day in January with over 200 on the buses and my bus route had 87 riders on two buses to win the championship in our bus contest. We were able to see 32 saved and 11 baptized at church on the big day. We also had over 50 visitors come into church that day as well. God blessed us in 2011 with strength and built us up through His power to keep on fighting the good fight. We are praying that 2012 will be even better with more souls saved and lives changed for His honor and glory.

We also have had a loss in our family which we didn’t expect in January. My Father-in-Law James F. Lyle went to heaven on January 7^th. Dad lived 76 years, 8 months, & 13 days when he had a heart attack complicated with pneumonia like symptoms. Dad was the father of 4 children two boys Bobby and Jeff, and two girls Darlene and my wife Renee. He also had 7 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Dad was the head usher in our church for years and went out soul winning with his wife every week of the world. They had one first time visitor and two returning visitors at church the morning after he passed away. We had to make a trip back to Kentucky where his body was buried and I was able to preach his funeral service and give the Gospel message to all in attendance. Please pray for the family especially Mom as she has lost her husband of 56 years. We will miss Dad greatly but know that we can see him again in heaven. That reunion day is looking sweeter every day.

We are still in the middle of litigation and need your continued support and powerful prayers on our behalf. Our bus routes are on the way back from the major blow we were hit with. We would like to thank all of God’s servants who have a part in being a huge blessing to our work here during this trying time on the mission. May God bless you more than you have blessed us! The other lawyer is dragging it out as long as possible in order to filter anything possible out of the insurance company. The sad news is that the family will probably end up with nothing and the lawyer will just about get it all. Special thanks go out to all of you who have been praying and have helped us as we rebuild from the set back of this trial.

Our annual Christmas party at the church on Christmas Sunday was a huge success. We were pleasantly surprised with the great number of people who were there. We always have been blessed with many fine folks who donate toys to our big day. The last two years in a row have been low in donations and we were out for this past party. Thanks to a group in Florida who sent a truck load of toys and gifts we had one of the most enjoyable gift times we have had in a long time. The toys arrived the week before the big day and we were able to give everyone a gift for Christmas. The best news of all was the 22 folks who received the gift of eternal life. Thanks to everyone who helps out with this blessing and who will also receive that blessing back from the Lord.

In Christ Unbounded Love,

Don Chitty Jr. and Family
