Dear Praying Friends,

Blitzing the Provo Independence–Day Parade. Pray for those who received one of our Joseph Smith Million Dollar Bill tracts at the July 4th parade in Provo. Randy, Aaron, and Matt (from our church) were able to hand out over 3,200 in a few short hours.

Tammy and I spent a couple of days in Alberta, Canada. I was asked by a church in Lethbridge to give a three-hour lecture on Saturday, July 26th, and address their morning service the next day. A local Mormon attended the three-hour session and I was able to chat briefly with him. Pray that something was said that will compel him to further investigate his faith. Pray also for an inactive Mormon who attended the Sunday morning service. His wife gave Tammy her email address wanting us to keep in touch. On the drive to Canada, we took an extra day to relax a little at Glacier National Park. I used to live in West Yellowstone (hard to believe that was 35 years ago) and though Yellowstone has much more of a diversity of things to see, in my opinion the views at Glacier were much more incredible.

Continue to pray for Daniel. In my last prayer letter I asked prayer for a BYU student named Daniel. Daniel began his enrollment as a Christian but was recently baptized into the LDS Church (though he admitted to me and Aaron that he really didn’t believe a lot of what Mormonism teaches). To make matters more complex, he got engaged to a young Mormon woman. Aaron and I were able to speak to Daniel at the BYU cafeteria, and since then Aaron has been in regular contact with him via email. There is some good news; Daniel’s engagement has been called off. Continue to pray for him.

Aaron and I just returned from Twin Falls, Idaho where we were assisting other Christians at the Twin Falls temple opening. Since Mormons are less likely to take the printed material, we use web site signs that point them to more information. Signs that simply say www.sacredorsecret.com  have helped generate about 6,000 visits to our web site since the outreach began on July 11th.  While in Twin Falls, I spoke at a local church on the background of the Book of Mormon. The church wanted to video tape the meeting so they hired a professional videographer named Darren…who just happened to be LDS.  Darren has been struggling with his faith for quite some time. After the meeting he met with several of us at a pastor’s house where we talked until 11:30pm. God does have interesting ways of getting Mormons to hear the other side, doesn’t he? 

We thank you for your continued faithfulness to our efforts here. You are all a blessing to us.

Bill and Tammy McKeever
