Hillside Wesleyan Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Dear Friends and Supporters,After an amazing weekend of sharing at Hillside Wesleyan in Cedar Rapids, it feels good to have the opportunity to share it with all of our friends who visit our ministry website. We want to thank all of you who were praying for us this weekend, praying for our travel and our time of sharing with the church. If you read below, you will hear about the trip, and how your prayers were answered.
Our trip started on Saturday morning at 7:00, but the story starts nine hours prior to that when we received a telephone call from Mike and Janet, the people we stay with, inviting us to use their van for our trip to Iowa. Our Escort is starting to become allergic to long drives after traveling over 215,000 miles in its lifetime, so it was a blessing to drive their van as it gave us the peace that our vehicle would not strand us along the highway.
In our travels to Iowa in the Bonner’s van, we encountered some snowfall and fog that caused the traffic to become hazardous, so hazardous in fact that we ran into not one, but two traffic jams that were caused by accidents happening ahead of us. Needless to say, traveling through Illinois and Iowa was slightly frustrating as we spent a great amount of time simply sitting on the road, waiting for the traffic to clear out ahead of us.
When we arrived in Cedar Rapids, we were welcomed by the pastor, Pastor Randy Richter, and his staff for the Saturday Evening Candlelight service. We had a wonderful time of sharing with the people who attended, especially with the people in this picture, Lindy and her daughter Dakota. Tiffany had the opportunity to share with them back at the table after the service. Lindy told us later that when she and Dakota arrived home after the service, Dakota told her that she wanted to make some cookies for the missionaries. So that is what they did, and they brought them to us the next morning. They were great cookies and they gave us something to munch on during our long drive back to Indiana that night. Thanks Dakota and Lindy.We stayed the night with the Youth Pastor at Hillside, Pastor Mike and his new wife, Ashley. It was good to sit around with them, and share about ministry and about the great works of our God. We ate quesadillas and played games through the night, and we felt very blessed to spend the night with such an awesome couple who are so on fire for serving God.
The Sunday morning services went very well, and we were encouraged by the response that we received from Pastor Richter and his congregation. We first met Pastor Richter back in the month of August, while we were traveling up to the Dakota District. We stopped by churches in his district, sharing with pastors and introducing ourselves. On the second day of our travels, we stopped by his church at the end of the day, and we had the chance to sit down with him and talk about Cambodia. His focus on missions in his church was evident from that first meeting, and we were encouraged and sure the God would provide something from this chance meeting. God did provide for us through Pastor Richter, by allowing him to work out something with his faith promise budget that allowed Hillside Wesleyan to give us a one-time gift for support. It is awesome how God uses these opportunities to show that He truly is a God of love.
As I said before, the Sunday morning services went very well, though it was a bit hectic during the Sunday school hour where we shared with four different ABF classes, for ten minutes at a time. It was a whirlwind tour, but we met a great number of people, and we were able to share God’s great work in Cambodia with our new friends from Cedar Rapids.It was a great trip to Iowa, one that I will not soon forget. The trip reminds me of a simple principle of serving God. Work as if it depends on you, but be sure to pray and remember that it really depends on God. We were very tired of traveling that day in September, but without the meeting that we had with Pastor Richter on that Tuesday afternoon, we never would have had the opportunity to share with his church this past weekend. But most importantly, without the working of the Holy Spirit in this situation, we never would have had either the opportunity to share or the power and strength to travel and proclaim God’s greatness in front of the church this weekend.
It was a great trip. The journey with God always is, and I hope that your journey with Him is both exciting and daunting; exciting so that you never want to stop the ride and daunting so that you never want to travel it alone.
God’s Blessing to all of you,
Tim and Tiffany Gallant

Will you be preaching out about the antichrist agenda behind the Da Vinci code?
This movie is quite the tool to get people to to believe (the lie) that Christ and Mary had a child...
Why?
To condition people into believing that one day the “heir” will make himself known to the world. The movie tells us (a few times) that the "heir" will make himself know to the world.
I bet that “heir” is none other than the antichrist.
Luciferian world emerging…Wake up America!
Leaders tell us there will be a one world Government:
“By the end of this decade (2000 AD) we will live under the first One World Government that has ever existed in the society of nations … a government with absolute authority to decide the basic issues of human survival. One world government is inevitable.” Pope John Paul II quoted by Malachi Martin in the book “The Keys of This Blood”
“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.” Strobe Talbot, President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, l992.
This “new world” is Luciferian based:
Those promoting the New World Order, global society, want Christianity removed to make way for people to accept Lucifer:
“Fundamental Bible-believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in.” –Nebraska State Senator Peter Hoagland, speaking on radio in 1983.
How do you prepare people for this coming one-world global society?
“To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism, and religious dogmas.” - Brock Adams, Director UN Health Organization
How would one enter this new society?
“No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation.” David Spangler, Director of Planetary Initiative, United Nations
The Bible predicted and warned us about this a couple thousand years ago:
Rev 13:16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(666)
Did you know the technology to do this is here and ready?
“Is there a number or mark planned for the hand or forehead in a new cashless society? YES, and I have seen the machines that are now ready to put it into operation.” Ralph NaderThis technology is being used in Europe. People are already buying with RFID (radio frequency identification chips) implanted in their hands/arms.
What is so wrong with this?
Revelation 14 warns us:9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
This Luciferian initiation, that David Spangler, UN, speaks of could very well be the mark of the beast, the Bible warns us about. And the mark of this man…who will it be? Could he emerge from the following?:
“We do not want another committee, we have too many already. What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all the people and to lift us up out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man, and whether he be God or devil, we will receive him.” -Paul-Henri Spaak,The first president of the United Nations General Assembly, who was also a prime minister of Belgium and one of the early planners of the European Common Market, as well as a secretary-general of NATO.
“I believe that if the people of this nation fully understood what Congress has done to them over the last 49 years, they would move on Washington; they would not wait for an election….It adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social independence of the United States!” –George W. Malone, U.S. Senator (Nevada), speaking before Congress in1957.
“Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” - Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States.
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it” ~ Albert Einstein
