The Paulsons Independent Baptist Church Planters in Valley City, N.D. Sent out by: Fargo Baptist Church, 3303 23rd Ave S, Fargo, N.D. 58103 Psalm 127:1a "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it:" January 18, 2002      Greetings from Valley City, North Dakota our short deputation is done for the most part. We presented our work to 38 churches in 11 states from September 2nd to December 19th. By faith we looked to the Lord to start services early in January in our "newly" remodeled building, that our sending church, Fargo Baptist Church, helped us put a down payment and sacrificially sent workers to help over the last several months.      When we came back from deputation, we helped finish the remodeling on the building. With the help of our sending church, over 50 members came out on the Saturday before service to "sow the seed" in Valley City and 5 nearby towns.      I know also much prayer was put into motion prior to service and we saw what God can only do. God brought visitors, we had 14 visitors from Valley City area!! (12 Adults and 2 children). We also had my brother David and Parents come from Sioux Falls. We had a total of 38 this Sunday, I can only thank God for that. Please pray for souls to be saved. Please pray for us as we seek an advisor and students to start a campus ministry at Valley City State University. Pray for the start of a bus ministry, we will soon have a van from the church in Fargo. Pray for God's presence and power to be upon each service.      If there is any way you can help with the start up costs, a "one time" love offering, regular monthly support, or continual and effectual prayer support we would appreciate it! We thank all that have already joined us and helped us already. Let us work together to fulfil our responsibility to reach all of the world with the gospel.
