Fonda Church At first, the idea of a local church didn’t sound too ter rific but the Lord, however, used our ministry at Fonda as quite a tremendous blessing in my life. It was great to be able to go to a local church each weekend to serve the Lord by witnessing, visiting members of the church or even just helping where they needed it. Meeting these new people and getting to know them as we shared a part of our lives with them was so ex citing. Not only did we have the opportunity to minister to them, but they were so willing to give of themselves and minister to us. (And of course, we won’t forget those delicious Norwegian Pancakes.) Truly, they were a special people who touched all of our lives.

Clifton Park is a small community about ten miles north of Albany, N.Y. The church has only been in ex istence for about seven years ever since Pastor Duke Hergatt came to town. That man had a great influence on our lives while we were there. His desire to see peo ple saved and to grow in the knowledge of the Lord is unbelievable. Our last weekend there was the greatest Sunday morning attendance ever, with 271. Teen group grew quite a bit, but not only in numbers. Lives were changed as the Word of God was taught and put into practice. There was nothing stopping this church from turning the whole Albany area upside-right for the Lord. The love they showed us gave a picture of what we should seek to accomplish back at our home churches. We thank Word of Life for the opportunity to minister and make new Christian friends that will last for an Northway Bible Northway Bible Chapel is an assembly of believers that meet together in Clifton Park. Every Sunday they assemble to remember the Lord’s Supper and meet together in a Family Bible Hour. On the second and fourth Sunday of the month they have fellowship dinners and a meeting in the afternoon. Our time of ministry there proved to be rewarding. Although we only started this last quarter we grew to be very attached to the people of the chapel. The Youth were very open to the Word of God and many made decisions that will change their lives forever. God certainly sent us there and God blessed our ministry at Northway in a very special way. eternity.
