    NEWS

    Ephesians 4:11-13 ..And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,

    evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for

    the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Till we all come in

    the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man,

    unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

    PENNINGTON, MN REVIVALEvangelists David Beaver and Lee Ramey,traveled to Pennington, Minnesota to preach

    revival services in late July.

    They were welcomed by Pastor Richard

    Cutbank and Archie La Rose, Tribal Coun-

    sel President for the Leech Lake Band of the

    Chippewa and a member of the Pennington

    Revival Center Church.

    The Holy Spirit was present and each

    night lives were touched and people went to

    the altar to dedicate themselves to a closerwalk with God.

    There was special music nightly and testi-

    monies of healings and deliverance and

    mighty accounts of how lives were changed

    by the power of God.

    Pastor Cutbank had met Lee Ramey 30

    years earlier in the Minnesota District of the

    Pentecostal Church of God . Brother Ramey

    was the Secretary Treasurer and had went to

    preach when the church was in its beginning

    stages and meeting at the local community

    center. It is such a blessing to see how God

    has moved and built this local church in MN.

    UNITY IN JESUS NEWSUnity in Jesus Ministries is a group of indi-vidual ministries that have joined together to

    network and reach out to the Navajo reserva-

    tion as well as other tribes of indigenous peo-

    ples of the United States and Canada. Our

    main purpose is to preach the Gospel of Jesus

    Christ and to make disciples.

    This newsletter serves as an information

    tool to those who have a heart to pray for the

    mission, ministers, ministries as well as the

    native American tribes we seek to reach withthe Gospel message.

    We also teach and provide ministers

    training to assist the local native pastors and

    lay ministers to be better equipped to fulfill

    the ministry they have been called to do.

    The Lord has recently provided a motor

    home which we intend to convert into a state

    of the art School with satellite internet capa-

    bilities. We are believing God for six quality

    laptops with which we can load our ministers

    training materials on and travel to the remote

    areas of the reservations which do not have

    electric or facilities readily available.

    me indeed and enlarge my territory. That

    your hand would be with me and that you

    would keep me from evil that I may cause no

    pain.SO GOD GRANTED HIM WHAT

    has provided for transportation and minis-

    try. He is enlarging our territory. He has

    opened new doors on the Navajo Reserva-

    ervations. We also have felt an increase in

    the moving of the Spirit in our meetings and

    are seeing that Gods hand is truly with our

    ministry. We are seeing lives touched and

    changed by the power of the love of Jesus.
