Colorado


We drove from Casper, Wyoming Sunday to the Denver area just to hang out for a few days until the missions conference begins this weekend. We have been catching up with family here and really enjoying the cool dry air. Last evening we decided to visit a church in Longmont (about 20 miles north from here) and to introduce ourselves. We hope to get a meeting lined up there sometime in the future. We did meet a former student of Jim's from about 27 years ago when we lived in the Philadelphia area! She remembered Jim as her history teacher. Pretty amazing... and what an encouragement to see someone from many years ago.

We will try to get all of the family together this coming Saturday. Hopefully we can work around schedules.

We are doing well. Please pray for Jim. He has several speaking opportunities next week and we would like to be a blessing to the church as we share our ministry. Following the end of the missions conference in Denver we will be driving to Mio, Michigan (with just one day at home to take care of things there.) Thanks for your prayers.

Heading out west



We are planning on leaving at the end of the week to go out to Casper, Wyoming. We will present our ministry Sunday in the morning service. Following the meeting there we will drive down to Denver, Colorado for a missions conference.


Jim has several opportunities to speak during the missions conference, and he would certainly appreciate your prayers for those preaching times. Following the time in Denver we will drive back to the northern part of the lower Michigan peninsula. We have a missions conference at a church we have been in before. This church is located a short distance from the Mackinac Bridge. I am hoping to see the bridge for the first time. Yes, I know.... We have lived in Michigan for 23 years and one would think I would have seen it by now!

As always, thank you for praying for us.
