JESUS THE TALK OF THE TOWN IBD

Sinopse

In 1937, we exchanged the North Dakota prairie dust of the Great Depression for a western cattle ranch on Myrtle Creek in northern Idaho.Before I became a teen, I milked cows, shot chickens for Sunday dinner, I was occasionally bucked off my saddle horse, I nearly drowned in Myrtle Creek and I harvested my first deer. I prayed my first public prayer. When I was sixteen, I was born again, I met Joyce Lee Lewis, during my college summers, I worked with the Trail Crew in Glacier National Park. I was face to face with a grizzly bear by Lake Josephine, I was flipped into Two Medicine Lake when our boat overturned. I led Jim to Jesus at a highway turnout along Glacier Park?s St. Mary Lake. I married Joyce in 1955, on our wedding night, we killed two stray Herefords. A year later, we rolled the Lewis?s truck on our way to ministry in Canada, Henry Detert got off his farm tractor, took a seat in my car, and received Jesus as his Savior. In 1958, we embarked by ship on a twelve year mission to Japan. On September 26th, 1959, the night our son Michael was born, the hospital lost electrical power, the rain ran through the roof, the typhoon swept 4000 people to their deaths. The five members of the Sanada family became lovers of Jesus.During the decade of the 70?s, I pastored in Montana and Alberta. We led our neighbors, Jerry and Pat and Bill and Nancy to Jesus, we all lived on the same street. For eighteen years, I served in two C&MA districts as a District Superintendent, from Cheyenne, Wyoming in the windy south to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories in the frozen north. In 1988, we were under ?house arrest? in Karachi, Pakistan.
