MISSION MOMENTS WITH “FUZZ” December 07 MONTHLY MISSION REPORT FOR REV. ARMOND FLOYD  Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you the faithful! God has done some really remarkable this for us this year. He has blessed us beyond our expectations. We want to acknowledge some folks & share with you just some of the awesome rewards that God shared with us & where they came from. Please thank God with us for the great things he has done.
First I would like to thank the brothers & sisters of the following continuing Financial & prayer support churches. Thank you to Bridge of Hope, First Reformed Oostburg, First Reformed Sheboygan Falls, and Stout Reformed Church. We would like to also acknowledge the following first time gift giving churches for their gifts of additional support in 2007: Reformed Church of Bristow, Grace Baptist Church Waterloo and Grace Reformed Church Waterloo also Thrivent insurance co, in association with Jamie & Chris Pawalski. To our individual prayer & financial supporters; I will keep you out of the spot light as I know that you would like to remain there. However my family & I would very much like to openly thank you for the awesome dedication & reliability that you have shown us while we labor in the vineyards of ministry for the Lord.   I would also like to include in this letter my thanks to Teresa & Chuck Van Horn at the Van Horn auto dealerships in Plymouth Wisconsin for their donation of a 1998 Dodge Durango. As many of you can guess I put on a lot of miles for ministry purposes. This also means wear & tear and I wear down vehicles very quickly. Teresa has been a very crucial part in the travel portion of my ministry supplying me with reliable, dependable vehicles. Thanks again Teresa.
There are many reasons to be thankful this Christmas, for example Aria not being seriously or mortally wounded when she fell 15 feet from a tree or some other major catastrophe. We are truly thankful for the good friends that we have here in Waterloo. We are thankful for the ministry that is a vital part of the church and a vital part of our lives. We are thankful for our partners in ministry the lead visionary pastor & family Kevin and Stephanie, VanWyk. We are grateful for the school that Harmony & Richard now attend Walnut Ridge Baptist Academy. This private school enrollment only happened because of the increase in support that some of you have chosen to send to make it possible for a solid Christian education for them. Lastly we can thank God for a blessed Christmas that we shared with one another, and we pray that you did too.  Bridge Of Hope Church’s “Operation Love Thy Neighbor” was a success! We partnered with the North East Iowa Food Bank to help 22 families from the area have a Christmas meal and Christmas presents for their children. It was a great joy for our group to be out in the community serving our brothers & sisters on the Eastside of Waterloo. A lot of the people that we served were from our own church & were blessed to receive these gifts of love.
 We had a TON of help… No seriously there was 2021 lbs of us at the food bank! We all weighed in at a little over a ton! There were 11 of us for the trailer loading at the food bank. There were 7 of us that were wrapping gifts for the children and their families from Lincoln Elementary School. Lorry Collins was our power Shopper for all of the kids and families. Then there were 8 of us that went out & personally delivered the packages to people. We had a great time & we could see the joy & gratitude on the faces of the people as we gave.
Since this Letter is coming to you in the middle of January I would like to also include some more wonderful news. We had a first at the church in the theatre. We had an alter call. This was the first time that it had been done there and the first time it was done since B.O.H. started. Sure it was done almost every youth night with teens giving their lives or rededicating their new walks with God, but never in “big church”. 
There were 63 people in attendance on Sunday the 6th and after Kevin’s message “Facing Giants- Knowing Your Enemies” I came up & had prayer and lead an alter call. There were 9 or 10 people that came down for rededication & first time commitments to Christ. YAY! God was really moving that morning & everyone that came into the theatre could feel the Holy Spirit! Almost everyone that came in said the same thing. Because of that there is now a 7am Saturday morning men’s fellowship bible study. We met for the first time and I lead the study with Romans 8: 9, 12-16 living according to the spirit. This Sunday I preached on “Facing Giants” as well “Covenanting with God.” After wards there were another 2 that came forward! YAY again! What a super blessing to have God move in people enough for them to make such a bold commitment! Next Sunday my message is the close of the series on “Facing Giants-Trusting God.” I expect that God will again Show up and knock our socks off! The following week we will be showing the movie “Facing the Giants” in the theatre as a cap to the series. I wish that a lot of you could physically share in the blessing that we call ministry. God Bless ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Armond |
