Projects at home

We have been home for awhile, so after resting up John has worked on some church members homes and then took on putting up new lights in our church. After searching for some time, we found the lights we thought would be the most efficient, but also beautiful for our sanctuary. Thank you for all of those who helped John. We will be installing some more lights in another church after the holidays, along with helping on other church projects.

We are real pleased with the outcome, looks like these were always a part of the church

Special Prayer request from Missionary In Chehalis, Wa

Hello, here is a special prayer request. This Mission point is very dear to our hearts as we were privileged to work on the church building with this mission. Please read the report and pray for this community.

Here is our town (Chehalis) where we live and serve as a misionary of the American Baptist Association. Please pray for us and the many families from Calvary Missionary Baptist Mission that have flood damage and have lost their homes.
The Missions Builiding is okay, only the Parking Lot is flooded and we praise the Lord so far we have not gotten any water into the building nor sanctuary. God is so good!!! Our Interstate 5 is thirteen feet under water in places and is completely closed down for 20 miles. Our community needs Christ and as we see this devistation may it burden our hearts for our neigbours and those we are close to so that we may share Christ before it is too late.

If you would like to contact us: my cell phone is (360-304-9840) service is intermittent
Sponsoring Church Missions Director: Rick Bailey cell phone: 805-320-9388
Please be in Prayer as we recover and heal from this tragedy. Please pray for our familes so we may minister to this community and show Jesus to Chehalis. 90% of people in Washington State do not attend Church anywhere and claim no religious affilitation. They are lost and in need of a Saviour...

Thanks,
Missionary Jason Rigby

Hello

Hi everyone, we have been home for awhile and other than some deputation work, we have been enjoying spending some time with family. We are heading out again on the 4th to Armona for the CMD (California Mission Developement) meeting. Then we are taking a trip cross country to visit family and also do some deputation in Colorado, Wisconsin and possibly Texas.
Pray for my Mom and Step-Dad in Texas and some health issues. John is going to do some electrical jobs in Wisconsin and Texas also. Pray for our safe travel.
God bless!

What have we been up to?

Well, finally I will try to catch up. We did not have Internet on this last trip, other than running to Starbucks to get e-mail.

Since working on the project in Porterville we have been home for VBS at our church and then headed to the church in Santa Paula, Calvary MBC to present our work with Redlands FMBC Builders. We then were invited to share in the Celebration of 45 years with the Landmark MBC in Lompoc, Ca. Then we headed back to Red Bluff, Ca to help on Bro and Sis. Tim Chambers home. While in Red Bluff we also shared our ministry with the church there and also Beacon MBC in Redding, Ca. You will see where most of our time was spent in Red Bluff where Richard and John worked on the Trusses and roof.
