Church Growth Proves Thrilling

By Martha Petty, August 12, 2019

Trout Creek, Mont., is a small community of about 500 people. The local Adventist church members wanted to evangelize but wondered if people would come.

The church brought in Donavan Kack from North Dakota to preach an evangelistic series. Flyers were sent out to all the homes in Trout Creek and the Thompson Falls area inviting the people to come to the meetings.

The results were most gratifying. More than 50 people came out to hear the message and, along with members, filled the church. They continued to come for the full month of April. Twelve people were added to the church through the series. We are thrilled with the result of the meetings and plan to continue to evangelize in their area.
