Prayers Answered in the Acts2Day’s Harvest District

The Harvest District of Acts2Day Ministries warmly welcomes Eric and Andrea McBride and their children, Karis (17), Hosanna (13), Judah (11), and Evie (9), to the city and community of Minneapolis, Kansas. The McBrides have arrived from southern Louisiana, answering a significant call to lead a small, rural congregation facing considerable challenges.

In a remarkable display of faith, Pastors Eric and Andrea have left behind established real estate holdings and successful businesses to serve this community. The congregation, which had been without pastoral leadership for over eighteen months and saw attendance dwindle to fewer than fifteen individuals, is now experiencing a renewed sense of hope. The favor of God is evident in their obedience. Even during a period of slow real estate sales, one of their properties was sold in a cash transaction, a clear sign of divine provision.

For nearly two decades, this faithful group in Minneapolis has been known as New Beginnings Christian Fellowship. Now, they are embarking on a new journey, relaunching as The Mission at Minneapolis, with a strengthened focus on prayer, community outreach, and evangelism, positioning them for significant Kingdom impact.

As District Director, I had the privilege of ministering to this dedicated congregation on Saturday evenings for the past eighteen months. This church is a testament to the unwavering faithfulness of a few who have endured numerous trials, including the destruction of their building by a tornado two years ago. Their resilience and steadfast vision to become a center of revival for Northcentral Kansas have been truly inspiring.

The arrival of the McBride family marks a new chapter for this congregation, a living embodiment of Galatians 6:9: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
