Benjamin,

I have a dear friend who pastors in Minot. He is currently doing a DMin at RTS Charlotte. He is a hair breadth away from joining the PCA... he's already given his current denomination notice that he no longer affirms without reservation their statement of faith.

Please contact me and I'll give you his info. He is truly a great guy.

That is some exciting news. But take a coat: it's cold there...

Praise God that he has brought you this far and prepared you for such a great work, and has made you willing to do it.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows....
God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

On behalf of the consistory and congregation of Harvest Reformed Church, Minot, ND, I want to thank God for using the PB as the means by which we connected with Benjamin in this matter of calling him to be our pastor. I believe God has blessed this man and will use him mightily in Minot. May God use him to gather in part of His harvest here in ND.
I'm also very thankful that Benjamin is not afraid of winter and on his visit here, God providentially gave him a taste of a true ND winter with record breaking below zero temperatures and a blizzard and that did not deter him from accepting the call.
Please pray for Benjamin in his preparation for his licensure exam and his move to Minot.

Congratulations! Harvest is a lucky church to have you as their pastor. Lane Keister will have another Reformed pastor to help represent the PB in North Dakota.

Congrats. This really must be a calling. I checked out Minot on google map and the place is near Canada. Yikes. I even checked out the avg temperature and began shivering in a 80 degrees heated office.

Will definitely be praying for you Benjamin.

May the Lord bless your Pastorate. May His Gospel spread by your preaching. May the Saints be sanctified in the Truth. May you be protected from the assault of the evil one.
