Fall, 2001 Dear Pastor,       It's with real pleasure that I introduce to you Bro. Michael Paulson.   I have had over 12 years to observe his life, his family, his doctrine, and his Christian walk.   He has been a faithful and dedicated servant of the Lord in his local church.       It is now with great excitement that we send Bro. Paulson to Valley City, N.D., one of the larger cities in North Dakota with no scriptural Baptist Church.   We have already secured a beautiful building with parking lot, sign, etc. in a very good location.   We want to be able to begin holding services around the first of the year and are looking at a brief deputation work.   Bro. Paulson will be going with 2 other men who have graduated from our Bible Institute and their families.   We have also 2 other families from Valley City who have been reached through our radio station and have indicated they will be attending as soon as we begin the work.   Without going into much detail I want to assure you that God's hand has been on this endeavor.   I want to also assure you that our own local church in Fargo will be heavily involved to see this church planting effort is a spiritual success.       Would you please consider supporting the Paulson's monthly for a year or two, or perhaps helping out with a one time love offering to help purchase the church building in Valley City?   The $52,000 we paid for it is about half of what it is worth.       Thank you for Christ's sake for any consideration you may feel led to give Bro. Paulson. Sincerely,         Tony Scheving Pastor             Ephesians 4:15 "...speaking the truth in love..."
