This is a load of Backpack Kits that we took to the Chief Plenty Coups High School in Pryor, MT. This is for both high school and elementary students.

July 2023 - Help from SOTH Ministries

This is Bro & Sis Davis with Sowers Of The Harvest Ministries (SOTH) based out of Florida. The Davis’ are longtime friends and supporters of Four Winds Ministries! They were in the region holding revival services at many area churches. How blessed everyone was with their ministry to small (and large) churches. As usual, they poured into each and every pastor and family during their stay.

Here, we are all at Albertsons in Livingston, MT purchasing much needed items for our Food Bank. We have a very exciting report on that coming soon!!! Thank you Bro. & Dis. Davis for all of your efforts, ministry and love!

Unfortunately, in July Ron's sister who lived in Florida unexpectedly passed away. We had to make a trip to FL to take care of her will and estate, so we were unable to make our July food delivery to Pryor. This broke our hearts knowing how much they depend on these monthly deliveries, but they graciously understood!

June 2023 Food Delivery - Pryor (Crow Reservation)

"If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord-and He will repay you."

June 2023 Food Delivery - Pryor

April 2023 Food Delivery

With Ron recovering from open heart surgery, we were not able to make the trip to Pryor ourselves this month.
A huge thank you to our son and daughter-in-law -Tim & Tobie - for making it possible to keep our commitment to our Crow family there. Tim and Tobie have been with us on previous deliveries so they knew just what to do. Tim also delivers firewood to several families on the Reservation there and has made some great friends.

Unfortunately, this delivery we had to turn 5 cars away due to running out of food. This is always a hard thing. We are helping as best we can but our need is great. We are running low on food and would ask you, your groups or your church, to prayerfully consider any help you can provide for this part of the ministry. It would be greatly appreciated from all who are involved!

Blessings,
Kathy and Ron
Tim and Tobie

DONATIONS TO FOUR WINDS

Fall and Winter 2023

​Towards Fall (and even before) donations of warm, winter clothing begin arriving. In December we were able to take a nice trailer load of mostly new clothing to the Crow Reservation! Thank you to all of our partners and supporters for your matchless generosity!
It is because of your care and concern for so many in need that we were able to help supply those needs. So much to bless so many!

Pack the Trailer Ministry (August 2023)

A huge thank you to Ben & Lana Cummings who work all year to “pack“ their trailer with all kinds of items to bring to us from AL.
They delivered approximately 7,000 pounds of food, paper products, warm winter clothing (much if it new), blankets, hygiene items, etc.
This, along with everyone stepping up to help fill our Food Bank to overflowing, will take us through the winter months and then some!
All of of partners, friend, supporters and family blessed us beyond measure!

This September, we begin our 6th year of monthly deliveries to the Crow people! To God be the Glory! The poor, disadvantaged, and needy are very close to His heart and we are honored to represent His hands and heart to them. So many are in need that it’s heartbreaking, but together we are meeting those needs. They depend on us.

 Alabaster Church of God & Lighthouse Ministries (August 2023)

Thank you to Pastor Ken Stroup (Alabaster Church of God) and Pastor Tommy Merrill (Lighthouse Ministries of Central Alabama) and guys for the trailer of diapers and wipes, food and clothing, school supplies and toys!
