April 27: Butch & Jennifer Hallenbeck, Round Mountain, NV
Round Mountain is 13 miles from the center of the state, equally 4 hours from Reno and Las Vegas. We drive 2½ hours to Fallon to do most of our grocery shopping. Our community sits between 2 mountain ranges at an elevation of 5800 ft., with a population of about 1500. Round Mountain Gold employs the vast majority, while ranching is the other main industry here. It is a transient community with many moving on to mines in bigger areas after just a couple of years of employment. Pray that we would be able to reach these people while they are here – investing in their lives, instilling a solid foundation, and preparing them for when they move on. Pray for our congregation to have a desire to grow in their faith and a hunger for God’s Word. Pray for our Mom’s Ministry to grow and be effective in reaching moms with the Gospel.
