Three month USA tour begins in Montana!

Over the rivers and through the snowy mountains we trekked to Valley Christian School in Missoula Montana for an all school assembly to kick off our 3 month USA tour.

We set up in a large and spotless gymnasium which was soon filled with 320 of Missoula's finest 1st-12th graders. It was fun to watch their faces as young and younger responded in enthusiasm throughout the program. 





The school's character education theme of the month is responsibility. Dustin challenged students to take the Great Commission seriously and be responsible to obey God's charge to go into all the world and share His love.



Afterward, kids didn't waste any time rushing to meet Dustin and try out unicycles. A surprising number of students told us how encouraged they were by the presentation and that we have no idea how inspiring it was to them! A teacher approached us with tears in his eyes telling us he had never before seen the arts used so effectively to share the Gospel. Other teachers said Dustin's message gave them much to build on as they continue to work with students. We pray God continues to guide these students to His heart.

Big snow flakes were falling as we loaded the trailer then inched our way along snow packed roads to Libby MT. Caution signs warned of big horn sheep and they didn't disappoint. We rounded a bend to see a herd in the middle of the road. We braked for many a deer and elk, as well.
