Northwest Angle

I got something in the mail today from Rob Boyd, Director of Church & Pastoral Vitality at the Minnesota Baptist Conference. It was an information packet about Kenneth Danielson and the ministry that is starting at the Northwest Angle reservation in northern Minnesota. It was so encouraging to read! It was nice because someone at the MBC really cares about what is starting to happen there. Kenneth is just starting his fund raising, so it's not like he will be going there tomorrow, but things needs to start happening now to get the ball rolling. Rob Boyd is also friends with Kevin Lasley at Nett Lake, which helps the situation a lot.

After reading the packet, I am so much more grateful for Kenneth! Northwest Angle is near the town of Warroad Minnesota, but is very far away from any large city. The reservation itself is divided into islands, with different groups living on the islands. Not all of the groups necessarily like each other either, which makes the situation tricky, but not impossible. They have been asking for a pastor and a church for years, now they will finally get one! He will need lots of help, so I hope churches will be willing. His fund raising isn't far along so it's difficult to tell how it's been going so far, but I hope and pray that he gets what he needs because the need at this reservation is so great. But praise the Lord that people at the MBC and other places around Minnesota are excited about this ministry!
