Your birthday and anniversary cards and messages were such a blessing to us! Thank you for your very kind thoughtfulness. For our 23rd wedding anniversary, we spent a couple of days in Amish Country, Indiana, enjoying the peaceful countryside.

Family Update

While helping three churches in Billings and Great Falls, Montana, we were able to visit my wife’s new two-day-old great-granddaughter, Henrietta Anne Mortensen. Grandpa and Grandma (Darrin and Beth), Dad and Mom (Hans and Emily), and big brother Lewis were so proud of their new little Henrietta. A week later on Grandma Beth’s birthday, Matthew and Charity and their little Anna, along with Melody and her fiancé Brandon, also came for Beth’s birthday cookout, so they all got to spoil Henrietta. In Billings, Montana, we got to spend time with Darrin II and Lauren and their Bridger and Baby Holland. We are so blessed with five great-grandbabies!

Great News

Dr. Ray Young is heading up a website, busministrynetwork.com, of useful information to help pastors, bus directors, bus captains, bus drivers, bus mechanics, and bus workers with many different resources. It will have information on getting a CDL, available Bus Conferences, how to get a bus for your church, where to get bus parts, and support ministries. It is still under construction, but the website is up and running. This is an answer to our prayers!

God Blessed

June through August, we traveled 5,099 miles, helping 13 churches. With God’s help, we were able to work with the bus mechanics to fix 23 buses. Seven of those buses were not working, and they are now up and running, bringing children and adults to church to hear about Jesus. As we traveled and handed out tracts, we witnessed to people, and God saved 4 precious souls! One memory was so sweet. We stopped at a Flying J truck stop near Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and ate supper at their Denny’s restaurant. We witnessed to our waitress Emina, and she sweetly trusted Jesus as her Saviour. I got a picture of her and my wife; Emina was crying as she hugged Jary Lynn very tightly. We gave her a booklet, Understanding Salvation, and a John & Romans to help her to witness as well.

Bus Ministry Works

Most of those who trust Jesus as their Saviour usually get saved under the age of 18. That’s why the church Bus Ministry is so important. We pray that the new Bus Ministry website will be a great help to you as you start or increase your Bus Ministries.

We so appreciate you, and we thank you for your prayers for our Keep the Buses Rolling ministry. Those of you who are our supporters, we thank you for partnering with us to help the churches keep their buses rolling to reach their communities for Jesus.

Prayer Requests

(1) Pray for a revival in the independent Baptist churches to start or increase their Bus Ministries.
(2) Pray for the bus mechanics who are preparing to become a missionary to the Bus Ministry.
(3) Pray for a church-bus body-and-paint man to surrender as a missionary to the Bus Ministry.

Yours for souls,

Warren & Jary Lynn Storm
