INCHWESTA - September 2007

The youth are working hard to get the youth house remodeled and looking the way they want it to! They have lots of great ideas, and we hope to be finished in a month or so. When we are, we will have an open house on a Sunday to show it off. For many of you, it may be the first time you have seen the youth house! We are excited for these changes that we believe will make the house a comfortable and inviting place for students to come and hear the saving message of Jesus Christ.

We are looking for several items that will help furnish the house; if you can help us, we will be glad to take them off of your hands:

- Mini-fridge
- Coffee machines
- Camping chairs
- Book shelves
- Bean bags
- CD player
- TVs
- Video game systems
- Curtains and curtain rods

Give me a call or email me if you have any of these items available and would like to donate them to the youth house. Thanks for everything!

In Christ,

Josh Robertson

INCHWESTA - August 2007

InChWeSta has been staying busy this past month with several events. The youth did an outreach at Clement Park, where they handed out over 200 bottles of water. Many people were very appreciative and surprised by the gift that had no strings attached, only students wanting to show people the love of Christ on a hot day!

The youth also went to the Sonshine Festival in Willmar, Minnesota, where we had a great time seeing over 100 bands with 20,000 fans! Not to mention it was in the great state of MINNESOTA! The youth also had a lock-in and went to Faith Day at Coors Field.

ne Parson’s Opinion

In the Christian world, unrealistic expectations abound. Here is one I find intriguing because of my profession:
The Ideal Pastor
“The perfect pastor is one who preaches exactly fifteen minutes but who shares with his people the wisdom of the ages. He condemns sin but never hurts anyone’s feelings. He works from 8 a.m. until midnight and is also the janitor. He makes $75 a week, wears good clothes, buys good books, drives a good car, and gives $30 a week to the church. He is 26 years old and has been preaching for 30 years. He is above all else, handsome. He has a burning desire to work with teenagers and spends all his time with older folks. He smiles all the time with a straight face, because he has a sense of humor that keeps him seriously dedicated to his work. He makes 25 calls each day on parish members, yet spends all his time evangelizing the unchurched and is always in his office if and when needed.”

North to Alaska

A team of 13 from Arapahoe Road Baptist Church traveled to Ketchikan, Alaska, to serve the small congregation of North Tongas Baptist Church in a variety of projects the first week of June.
Projects included construction on the exterior of the church, landscaping, clean-up of the church grounds, and assembly of 2500 small baggies consisting of tracts and candy to be handed out from their float at the annual 4th of July parade. In addition, Bob Wells was able to witness to a non-believer at the Wednesday night prayer meeting. The team also served as prayer warriors and encouragers for this small band of believers.
