Lawrence, Indiana
After finishing with the Brazil church, I went up the highway to Lawrence (suburb of Indianapolis) to do a revival for Pastor Pete Wakefield. Pete and his wife Sandy have faithfully labored in the Indianapolis area for over 18 years. They have a faithful group of people and have young disciple wanting to preach the gospel. As I fellowshipped with a young couple in their church, they expressed their desire to one day be missionaries to another nation. Thank God for people with a burden and a vision. Our revival was Wednesday-Sunday June 1-5. Though we did not see a great number saved in this revival, there was a real ministering presence in the services and God's people were helped. I know it sounds cliche' but it was a good revival for the people.
Pray for the Wakefields and all of those laboring in the Midwest. This area has not always been responsive to the gospel, but I have had the opportunity to preach in most of the churches here and most of them have long-term Pastors who have faithfully laid down their lives for their cities when opportunities were given to go other places. The Midwest needs more pioneers to help break through, maybe God would send you.
