February 10: Dean & Rochelle Denlinger, Horsefly, BC
Horsefly is located in the Cariboo Forest District in British Columbia. Within an hour’s drive from here in all directions, we can be in either almost rain forest, to high alpine mountains, to a desert with actual cacti! Situated in the foothills of the mountains, logging, ranching, and tourism are the main sources of income. Established in 1859 as part of the Gold Rush trail, Horsefly has always attracted independent and strong-willed folks. This is an interesting but awesome place to live! There has been a “Church” group meeting here for well over 20 years, but they were never able to have a building of their own. We meet for church in the Community Hall, unless there is a community activity on a Sunday. The church body wants its own building, but has been unable to get one going. Many in the community think it will never happen. We do have a large building fund, but what we really need is outside help, as many of the guys here are too busy to help build. Please pray that the Lord will give us wisdom and help so that we can build our much-needed building. Please pray that the Bible studies and Sunday morning service will become more of a priority to those who come to church. Even though we feel at home here and very accepted by the community, please pray that we will have the opportunity to be very involved in the lives of the unsaved.
