Our WMF District covers lots of miles in Western North Dakota and Eastern Montana.\u00a0Our fall\u00a0rally was at Immanuel in New Leipzig\u00a0with Trinity Church in Mott joining in hosting\u00a0about 45 ladies.\u00a0We were missing the Montana ladies but were blessed with a carload from Reva, SD\u00a0who left at 6:00 am to attend!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrie Roth, local WMF and District President led the day and explained the homemade cross we each received. Trish Weishaar\u00a0giving\u00a0a touching devotion\u00a0from\u00a0our theme, Taking Up the Cross.\u00a0We sang songs focusing on the Cross with Marcy Haase and Sarah Schock leading us.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becky Abel shared the heritage of\u00a0missions\u00a0including her personal call to the mission field. She told of Ruby Abel\u2019s beginning, then her desire to be a missionary\u00a0before\u00a0meeting her husband Paul, whom God had prepared without her knowing! Now the\u00a0Brazil churches\u00a0and Bible Camp that they started and poured their hearts into are being run by local people the Lord has raised up.\u00a0The next generation is continuing the call of missions through their son,\u00a0Matthew\u00a0and his wife in Paraguay.\u00a0Pastor Paul shared in the\u00a0afternoon,\u00a0and the\u00a0Abels\u00a0sang such touching songs of\u00a0desiring\u00a0their lives to be in service to the Lord.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u00a0all enjoyed the day together being challenged to Take up the Cross.\u00a0Our district has a traveling WMF banner\u00a0that went home with\u00a0the Beulah ladies\u00a0who are hosting us in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
