They are also bringing several special guests who include: Ben Tsali Hendricks (Coyotero Apache), Fort Apache Indian Reservation, AZ. USA; as well as two gentlemen from India: Simon and Daniel.

We will also be providing a meal every evening. We are even thinking of a baseball game on the following Monday for anyone still around. ( NOTE: The Montana State Fair will be here following week. Lots of fun for the whole family).

Registration is FREE. We encourage you to register so that we know how much food to prepare and so that we can arrange the appropriate venues.

A Note about InJesus.Com

GREAT NEWS!! InJesus.Com has just announced a new payment/ billing plan. PTL! We have bee paying $20.00/ mo. for each of our lists: Across Turtle Island and First Nations Monday.

Effective immedaitely, they are now changing the billing to $20.00 for 20,000 emails. That means that we can get a lot more for $20.00.

Not only that, but our subscribers can donate 'postage'. That's right. Subscribers can log-on to our home pages for both letters and simply click the postage stamp to donate postage. PTL!

This has been an answered prayer. We already have received donations for April for both lists. PTL!! ( We are still looking for someone to sponsor our Bravenet letter at $10.00/ mo.)

Designs By Running Brook

We have just launched our business, Designs By Running Brook.

Affective immediately, our web-hosting and design will be done through the business. We will also manage our t-shirt design and sales here.

In addition, we will manage our on-line Native American / Christian 'music store' through Designs By Running Brook. There is on-line orderng through PAYPAL for a number of CDs.

For those of you who live in our area, we have just been given permission to sell CDs at "Nine-Patch", which is a local owned floral and gifts shop in Columbia Falls! We hope to have the initial inventory we need by the end of April so we can start with Nine-Patch on May 1, 2004.

We are looking for other shops in our area who will work out a consignment deal with us, too. Our long range goal is to have our own little shop for Designs By Running Brook where we can sell music, clothing, jewelry, as well as have our office for the web-hosting and design outside of our home.

For more information, visit the new web-site: Designs By Running Brook

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

We are in the process of updating a number of web-pages on our FirstNationsMonday.Com site. PLEASE be patient with us during this time.

We are moving all the web-design stuff to Designs By Running Brook.

We are moving all the 'resources' stuff to the Across Turtle Island pages.

We are stream-lining all the prayer pages, making them easier to access. In the process, we are adding pages for our monthly prayer letter with maps of regions and contacts.

We are also updating the many pages we 'host' for various other ministries. We hope to have everything in order in the next couple months.

Wado! First Nations Monday
