North Dakota - November 20th - 22nd
A series of “Standing With Israel” and CUFI Pastors’ Lunches were held for the first time in the magnificent state of North Dakota.  Although the media and most politicians have historically paid scant attention to this Great Plains state, God is revealing His bounty there in these days of otherwise “doom and gloom.”  Signs are posted everywhere saying “Help Wanted, Jobs Available!”  The oil and energy industries are booming.  Heavy snows last year and a late winter this year have allowed the great fields to be fully harvested.  On Saturday plans were being made by Pastors who attended the first CUFI breakfast in the state capital to hold a Night To Honor Israel in 2010.  Sunday morning’s newspaper headlined a story about more vast oil reserves being discovered in the state.  God does bless those who bless (and plan to bless) His “Treasured Possession” Israel.  CUFI members drove hundreds of miles (even from Canada) to be part of the meetings to learn more and to be a part of honoring  God’s mandate to be a blessing to Abraham’s descendants.  Pastor Ron and Julie Enget, who have attended the past 3 CUFI Washington Summits were the catalysts in hosting all of these meetings.  On Friday they hosted the Pastors’ Luncheon in Beulah.  On Saturday they arranged for and invited the ministry leaders to a brunch in the capital city of Bismarck.  That night they arranged for a SWI meeting in Bismarck’s Lutheran North Campus facility, where they have recently planted a New Life congregation.  On Sunday morning they turned over three of their Sunday services to the CUFI Central States Coordinator to teach on the subject.  What a blessing God is pouring out on that state as He opens the window of His storehouse and what a joy it is to see God honoring His promises to these Bible-believing North Dakotans.
