and at Indian Avenue Baptist
Church. The groups did
landscaping work on the campus,
light maintenance and painting at
IABC, and learned more about
Native culture. Indian Avenue
church was full and the students
has
several
wonderful
conversations about Jesus. The
last night there the groups grilled
burgers and invited Haskell
students to join them for the
fellowship and good food. The
week was full of serving others
and serving God.

From Your Missionary...
Easter has come and gone for another year. The crowds were up all over, which is
great, but it is also sad that many will not be back until Christmas. Such is the state of the
church in America. One of these days, God’s people will take their Christianity serious and
look more like Christ than the world.
The summer is fast approaching and mission trips are already in the planning stages. We
will have church groups in and out of Kansas all summer long and we will have another group
going to Central Europe to serve in Hungary and Croatia. Why not put on your traveling shoes
and take a trip to serve the Lord in some way. It will do you good and you will be making a
Kingdom difference while you are at it.
Josh Gaskin took a group of students from Haskell and Indian Ave. Baptist church on a
spring break mission trip the week before our group arrived in Lawrence. John shared the
mission possibility with me and it sounded very promising. Talk to him while you are in
Lawrence this summer and see if this is a possible mission partnership for us with Indian Ave.
I made contact with a pastor and church in Weber Falls, KS, on my way home from
Lawrence. Ron Neely told me about this church and the possibility of this being another
partnership opportunity for our association. Ron and two of his men will be up there this
mouth doing a revival and I will encourage you to talk with him about this partnership
potential.
Now, for the latest on our financial situation. Things are looking better as several
churches responded to help ease us over the financial hump. We will be adjusting back on
some things to reduce our budget requirements, so be prepared to discuss this issue at our next
board meeting in May.
God is good and we are truly blessed to be of service and to have a place to serve.
Blessings,
David O. Mitchell
