Travels...the Northwest

Traveling the stunning northwest is always a fantastic time. The past few weeks we have been to a number of impressive areas visiting those who have stood with us the past years and others who may in the days ahead. Either way, we have been blessed by them through their prayers and friendships.

Our first stop along the way was in Port Angeles where our partnership began when we set out in missions 17 years or so ago. If you have never visited the Assembly of God church in this harbor city do so some day. The visit is well worth a weekend away and the church is exciting.

Some good friends of ours pastor in Mossy Rock, Darrel and Linda Stavros. Jill and I had never been to the church here before and greatly enjoyed our service. Attendance Sunday night was great and meeting new friends is always a delight.

Coeur D Alene Assembly, our third stop, is our home church where both Alex, Valerie and her husband Jonathan and Arialee our beautiful grand daughter attend.

Both Alex and Valerie are part of the worship team: Alex on drums and Valerie helps on piano. (Did you know that I was an intern youth pastor at Coeur d’ Alene in the late 70’s early 80’s?)

Lastly was our return visit to New Hope Assembly in Pinehurst where Jill and I began our journey together and she started her ministry as a youth pastor. What great memories for us in this wonderful church.

Thanks to each of you for your involvement in our lives and ministry.
