We have spent the last 10 days in Florida. Thursday - Sunday we were with J.O. and Juanita Purcell at their church in The Villages. What a joy to see a budding church that has grown to around 300 in 6 years. They are about ready to go to two services and even have building plans for a new auditorium sometime in the future. On Monday we drove down to Juniper, FL to visit Grace Emmanuel Church. This is the church that sponsors the seminary that Brian and Tanya Arnold plan to attend. What a wonderful city on the southern Atlantic [View Full Entry]

It was wonderful to have Sara Jo, Nathan and Breanna here for two weeks. We were able to take Nathan to the Waterloo Playhouse and the Museum in Dubuque which he really enjoyed. He fell in love with Papa and wanted to go with him everywhere. It involved transferring the car seat from car to car, but it was worth it. Breanna won everyone's heart with her smile. Needless to say we miss them. [View Full Entry]

While Jason took a trip to Bolivia and Rich went to meetings in Ohio, I flew down to NC for a few days to get acquainted with Maggie. All I can say is she likes to walk, walk, walk. She loves life and enjoys every day. Whether in Bolivia or NC, it's hard to say Good-bye. [View Full Entry]

To celebrate our 36th anniversary we took a few days to drive south. We had never been to Missouri and were impressed with the rolling hills and beautiful countryside. We drove through Kansas City on our way home and had some famous Kansas City Bar-b-que. [View Full Entry]

We started our ministry at Bibleville on Sunday January 4 and will continue through the week. Pray that the messages will produce fruit in the lives of the people here. Lynette was able to speak to the ladies at the Tea and had a good reception. The weather has been beautiful and it will be hard to come back to the cold and snow. However, it will be good to get back home after some much time away these last few months and get back to a normal routine. [View Full Entry]

Many of you have been praying as we were were seeking the Lord's Will as whether we would stay at WRBC or move to Emmanuel Baptist Church in Toledo. After much thought and prayer we have decided to continue at WRBC and not accept the invitation to move to Toledo. While we were in the Cayman Islands we spent many hour reading the scriptures, praying and walking around discussing issues related to this decision. We solicited thoughts from many and made our final decision on Wednesday, Nov. 26. After making our decision, we went out and bought "Decision bracelets to help [View Full Entry]
