Wonderful,courageous and inspiring story of two missionary brothers in the frontier wilds of Minnesota. Had vaguely heard of the name Gideon Pond before, probably because there is an elementary school or two named after him and that he must have been an early Minnesota pioneer. But knew nothing of the brothers real history till your well researched sermons. You may not know there is still a church in Bloomington that was founded by Gideon named Oak Grove Presbyterian Church and I think one in Shakopee Mn. founded by his brother. But alas the Oak Grove church is a liberal, LGBT inclusive and has a woman minister.

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
