Montana - Day 7

Today was our final day in Montana. A snow storm came through and dumped more than 4 inches of snow in the Bozeman area and almost 8 inches in the pass between here and Livingston...which is where we drove this morning. It was a slow drive, but it was beautiful.

In Livingston we met with two couples: Paul & Christine Seddon and Cody & Tiffany Wood. They came from the east coast about two years ago to plant a church in Montana. Cornerstone Community Fellowship meets on Sundays in the local Red Roof Inn. They started with only 3 families and now have about 30 members. Cornerstone’s ministry is very missional. They are out serving the community and building relationships along the way. They have really challenged me to look at the ways I serve our community...and the ways I don’t serve it.

If you were watching Fox News this morning, you may have seen a story on a gas main explosion in downtown Bozeman, MT. The explosion originated in a bakery called Boodles and destroyed several surrounding buildings. David and I ate lunch across the street from Boodles yesterday and planned on being back in that area this morning since our video shoot wasn’t until 1:00 today...or so we thought. While talking with the Pastor Seddon, I realized that I had actually scheduled the shoot for 10:00 which kept us out of the area. So thank you for praying for us while we’ve been traveling...God has been faithful to keep us safe. Please pray for the citizens of Bozeman...this is a tight-knit community that has been struck hard by this tragedy. The last information we got from the local radio said that one person was still missing. Please pray for them and their family tonight.
