My Little Bag of Beans

By Susan Shanklin When Tom returns from his domestic travels he sometimes brings home items given to him for me or us to use, try, and enjoy. His recent trip to North Dakota produced not deer meat nor honey nor wash cloths nor desserts nor fried bread nor gladiolus like some previous trips, but an unassuming ziplock quart bag of tannish yellow dry beans with chunks of dirt, tiny stems, and leaf particles. “Here, the pastor’s wife sent these for you,” Tom says, handing me the bean bag. “Mmmm thanks,” I say without much excitement. … Continue reading →

Inquiring

In May, I was at the Lighthouse Assembly of God on the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation in Fort Totten, ND. This was my first visit to this church. Susan and I are also on KABU Radio Station in Ft. Totten on Sunday afternoons. In three meetings, I spoke on reconciliation and forgiveness, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and divine healing. Lives were touched, bodies were healed, and people were encouraged in the Lord. Pastor Brandon and Joy Wegener, who I met several years ago while ministering on the White Earth Indian Reservation in Minnesota, … Continue reading →

By Tom Shanklin I had great meetings in churches in LaMoure, North Dakota, Spring Grove, Minnesota, and Shell Lake, Wisconsin in May.

We also held a joint service with two churches on Sunday morning … Continue reading →

Trip to North Dakota & Canada

Posted on July 30, 2011

In late July, I travelled to LaMoure, North Dakota for meetings at The Church of the Nazarene. Pastor Carl Black called the Sunday morning and evening meetings a “mini-revival.” I shared my testimony and spoke from Jeremiah on Sunday morning: “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13, KJV. I talked about how we are all searching for something ever since Adam lost his place with God through sin. My life was a continual search before finding Jesus in 1977. When I found Jesus, … Continue reading →
