We had our first Gospel in the Park on May 31st at the Sheldon Public Park in Sheldon, IA. Though there were only a few in attendance the Lord blessed it and provided opportunities to proclaim the gospel to some people in the park afterward – they plan to attend the next Gospel in the Park on June 28th with Pastor Elijah Anderson delivering a message and leading the singing of gospel songs. I have attached the link to the video of the May 31st Gospel in the Park with a poster of our next Gospel in the Park at the end of this month.
Click below for video of the May 31st Gospel in the Park (the first song had poor audio so it was edited out, but the rest of it remained – may the Lord bless you with the singing and the message: “Real Hope in Jesus Christ”:

Lord willing, our next event will be in July – it will be our Evangelism Training Seminar – the speaker will be Ryan Denton. I have attached the poster for that event below:

In preparation for the Evangelism Training Seminar, I have begun to record a series of messages on “Biblical Evangelism.” These messages are presented to encourage believers to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ preparing our hearts with 6 reasons to evangelize, overcome objections, approaching evangelism with a right and godly attitude. Click the link HERE to watch this series of messages delivered by me, Richard Stetler.
The next video will be the 6th reason to evangelize: “The Believer’s Motivation to Proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ”

I am pastoring this small group of believers holding worship services each Lord’s Day at 10:30 a.m. with a Bible study at 6:00 pm – we are currently meeting in our home while we seek the Lord in providing another facility where we can meet. If you are in the area and looking for a place to worship, please join us – we’re small but the Lord is blessing with great fellowship and Christ-centered worship with Biblically sound preaching.
