I think you have the answer. Jesus went out and met people where they were. He didn't sit in a big church building and wait for the people to come to Him.

Good insight.

You are strong in the truth. If you were weak ... I would not suggest going to a Sunday church. But from what I have heard you say ... you have two choices ... stay at home alone and not get personal contact with ANYONE ...

OR ...

Do as we have talked about ... get the wonderful blessings of the Sabbath and fellowship online with fellow SDAs ... then on Sunday get the "personal" contact that will serve to both bless you personally and be the witness that you want to be.

You would not be going there for indoctrination purposes. You would be going there for the reasons we have listed. You had said you wanted to meet people. What better place than a Christian church?

I think Jesus would be honored in you doing this. The Sabbath is not done away with or dishonored if we worship Him on days in addition to the Sabbath. The only time we are dishonoring Him is when we stop honoring Him on the Sabbath.

I'm not sure which director you are trying to reach, but if one doesn't respond, you can always ask to talk with someone else. Go to the president if no one else will respond. Or ask them to give you the name and ph# of the pastor in charge of your area. Maybe he or she would be excited about the possibility of planting a church there.

Here is their website. Texico Conference Their phone number is (800) 749-7851 and email texico@texico.org

The Vernon church is in the Texas Conference. So Childress is right on the edge of the Texico Conference. The Altus Seventh-day Adventist Church is in Oklahoma and is website is here Alus SDA. It is also 60 miles from Childress but it is English speaking.

Childress is right in he corner of three conferences. There are already two churches established in the area in the Oklahoma and Texas conferences. It seems God has a plan to establish one in the Texico conference.

You go, Shane! That's a great bit of research.

Thank you for the information, your help and your time. I hope and pray that God does have plans to put a church here. That could be the very reason why I have ended up here. Wether it for me to do the work of establishing one here or if I'm just to get some one else to come do it. It is clear to me that in either case I'm here to get the ball rolling.

Praise God for you ... His pioneer. You have lots of people here who are praying for your effort. And if you EVER need any ideas ... you can always get plenty here !!
