It was a tight fit in the 50 passenger bus: 35 suitcases and sleeping bags, pillows and a 10-day food supply. Somewhere in the underbelly of the bus we found room for four guitars, two electronic keyboards, a full drum set and a portable sound system.

Before leaving Celebration Ministry Center, the group selected the communities they wanted to serve carefully. Each locale was suffering from the economy or a recent natural disaster. They included Fergus Falls, Minnesota; Ellendale, Bowdle and Selfridge, North Dakota and Herreid, Mitchell and Huron, South Dakota. The students were from the Power House group at Celebration Church. They raised $6,000 through fundraisers to underwrite the cost of the trip. Their mission was clear—they were determined to reach out with acts of kindness with no strings attached.

The students worked from sun-up to sun-down. They washed cars, built fences, did yard work, painted buildings and made minor repairs for those needing help in each community -- at absolutely no charge.

Each day began with prayer--seeking God's direction for the day.

Every evening the group held a praise service in the community they’d served that day. In Bowdle, North Dakota, the concert was in an outdoor park. The band played, 18 members of the group made up the praise choir and testimonies were shared. When the Gospel was preached and an invitation given, 46 precious souls made decisions for Christ that night, including the town’s mayor and his wife. During the 10-day tour, 164 precious people dedicated or rededicated their lives to Jesus. Everywhere the group went, folks knew of Lowell Lundstrom and would share stories of how their family was touched by his ministry. We praise God and thank Him for this wonderful outreach. To God be all the glory.
