Would the need the people of Aguilar have for food be greater than the possibility of exposure to the virus. Our hearts desire is to serve them and at the same time protect them. We strongly sensed that we were to move forward with the food distribution taking every precaution available. But another question hung out there. Would we have enough volunteers to make this happen? Especially since I am limited yet in what I can do. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #454545; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; padding: 0in;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #454545; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; padding: 0in;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #454545; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; padding: 0in;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9u8s31WbyUlIx2Cg6krmPbCE2q1tqTiXyHDnmEQ2LYr4MqkQOHjz1fLjOnbptPEe4R20VNMA6VMZEMxWtkirUkESyCwfz_5aVuaTsAZhm7f5WGRNYa2cFHSIZkSCm9Q6OuvNu4l0_hN3T/s1080/food.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9u8s31WbyUlIx2Cg6krmPbCE2q1tqTiXyHDnmEQ2LYr4MqkQOHjz1fLjOnbptPEe4R20VNMA6VMZEMxWtkirUkESyCwfz_5aVuaTsAZhm7f5WGRNYa2cFHSIZkSCm9Q6OuvNu4l0_hN3T/s320/food.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> It was planned to have “social distancing” by no one coming into the building. Instead the mayor offered to block the street and it would be “drive up” only. When one of the county commissioners heard of what was happening and our need for help, he began seeking volunteers for us. There is a road dept shop in town and the 3 men that work there live in Aguilar. When they heard of the need their response was “this is our town, we will take a vacation day and help”. At first their supervisor said no. But when the commissioner spoke to him it changed to not only can they take the whole day and do this, BUT the county will pay them their regular wages!!!! To us it was a clear sign that God’s hand was in this and it was His plan for this to happen. Still not knowing how many volunteers we would have, we began unloading the truck at 8 am and volunteer after volunteer started showing up. Amazingly enough we had to turn a couple of them away until later when we had something for them to do. <span style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #454545; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; padding: 0in;"> Being inside our building putting meat in the carts to be given out, I missed giving hugs, handshakes and praying with people, but Mary was out at the cars getting names and numbers and splashing Jesus on them. The day went amazingly smooth with having mostly new help and a different way of doing it. God is so good! We weren’t sure how many people would show up, but so many came that we ran out of boxes made up and had to make more. The county boys after it was all done told me “that’s hard work, we haven’t worked that hard in a long time”. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #454545; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; padding: 0in;"> We don’t know what tomorrow will bring but this month God blessed the people with an abundance of food. Our prayer each month is that they will know that the God who provides this food for them also desires a relationship with them and to be the everlasting bread for them. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #201f1e; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #201f1e; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt; padding: 0in;">Hip replacement surgery was delayed until Feb 18.

BUT as "Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you". And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples therefore REJOICED when they saw the Lord. Jesus again said to them, "Peace be with you!" No matter what the situation - the storms of life Jesus says to YOU - PEACE be with YOU!!! May you see Jesus and embrace the words "Peace be with you"<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #201f1e; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #201f1e; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11.5pt; padding: 0in;"> </span><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #407f00; font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif; padding: 0in;">Bill & Mary Glidden, Field Staff, InFaith, An American Mission<br />137 West First St | Walsenburg,Co | 81089 Ph: 719.738.2487 | www.infaith.org<br /><br /></span></i><span style="color: #201f1e; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p>Bill and Mary Gliddenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15821600117913670038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8043074255703070923.post-69543333384417472662019-12-31T15:28:00.000-07:002019-12-31T15:28:20.685-07:00Happy NEW Year!!

<br />
Like the beautiful snow we are experiencing, our Father continues to gently fall with His love and Holy conviction in order to change hearts in this little part of the world. May this little update bless you as you read knowing that you are a precious part of this ministry!<br />

Another year has flown by and a million reasons have accumulated over this past year to Praise His Holy Name!<br />
<br />
I long for the days when I could sit down and write each of you a hand written card. I would love to be able to do that and yet 300 writes are just not reasonable. We pray our little bits of news will somehow breach that impersonal nature of the internet and that you will know you are all loved and thought of often.<br />
<br />
We will be going to celebrate Bill's dad's 90th birthday in a few. God has blessed Mom and Dad with many years and relatively good health still. It will be a joy to get to spend a bit of time with them and celebrate.<br />

I am sorry that we have been so tardy getting our newsletter out. Several unexpected ventures came up-One was going down to Alamogordo in April to help my sister Kathy take a break from care taking as my Mom was having a rough go health wise. She is doing much better though for which we are so thankful! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We think Spring may have arrived here in Colorado though last week while traveling back home from Phoenix, Walsenburg was reported to have gotten about 12 inches of snow!</div>

A friend told me if I saved the newsletter in a png format it would be more clear for reading but I am having trouble doing that as it is not an option for saving on my computer. I would be so grateful if anyone could help me make this change or some other way to read this. All the clicking and such does make it confusing and I would love to make it easy for all to view.</div>

June UpdateI wanted to share with you a glimpse of the LaVeta Rodeo Bible Camp this year. Again Mary was very involved in the vital task of preparing and serving food to the campers and staff. Mary and Bill & Barb Fair and their daughter Amy, (InFaith missionaries in Pagosa Springs,CO.) do an amazing job of making sure everyone is well nourished.<br />
<br />
Again this year I was blessed to serve as a team leader for 11 incredible young men (ages 13 -15). The theme this year was "Crossroads". During both the morning and evening devotion time we looked into God's Word to see what He is saying to us about the crossroads we face each day in our choices. We also talked about how Jesus places us at crossroads in our culture and gives us platforms on which to show our world who Jesus is. As team leaders we are asked to not only commit to 4 intense days of event clinics, Bible study, chapel, and one on one time, but also staying in contact with our team members throughout the year.<br />
<br />
Would you commit with me to pray for these young men. Maybe you would like to commit to praying for one or 2 specifically - I would love to give you a first name and other info so that you could pray.

As soon as Rodeo Bible Camp was over I shifted gears to help with a Boy's Fly fishing and Faith Adventure here in Walsenburg. A pastor here in Walsenburg put this together and for the rest of the week I got to help and learn about fly fishing. One morning I was blessed to get to present the faith lesson to this group.<br />
<br />
The last couple of days have taken me to some very remote places (ranches) to serve hospice patients and their families. I have driven over 500 miles to visit with 3 of them. Some might think that is not very cost effective especially when gas is $3.70 a gal. "but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." Acts 1:8 NASB. If I put that into a simplified version that would be applicable to Mary and I, the last part of this verse would read " the remotest canyon and mesa of the frontier of SE Colorado." What a privilege to be the conduit of the "Message".<br />
<br />
Thanks for partnering with us in prayer and financial support!<br />
