September 14: Dan & Connie Michaud, New Gloucester, ME
We’re 18 miles north of Portland and 13 miles west of L.L. Bean’s flagship store in Freeport. The town has a postcard-like pastoral setting of rolling hills, fields, and forests, and once was a very thriving agricultural community. Now it’s a fast-growing, highly desirable bedroom community of southern Maine’s suburban sprawl. New Gloucester Bible Church has a mini-campus of three buildings and the parsonage on the very busy main highway through town. As we approach 50 years as a Village Missions Church in 2009, we praise God for His great faithfulness! Our challenge is to continue to reach and connect with an area that has gone from a quiet rural population to a hectic commuter’s crossroad population. Please pray that our high physical visibility and many ministry outreaches will attract people who need the Lord in their lives. Pray for the many unchurched teens who attend our large teen group, that they would be saved and impact their families for Christ.
