O'Fallon Assembly's Transition Team

Surprise 50th Birthday Party!

Wheeling the "Old Man" around in style!

The last several months have brought our family through a transition in ministry. We had guided Columbus First Assembly for 8 1/2 years...weathered the flood in 2008...completely renovated and rebuilt the entire church facility...and watched our kids grow up and two graduate from high school. Then the Lord brought to us His marching orders for a new assignment: Lead and pastor the congregation of O'Fallon Assembly of God in O'Fallon, Illinois!

For the last several months we have been settling in to our new assignment. The transition team has been amazing. The boards have been wonderful. The people have been so loving and kind. The staff has been helpful and gracious. We hit the ground running...and have been running ever since. The church is about to explode with the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. They are ready to touch this community with the love of Jesus Christ!

We have been declaring a NEW DAY @ O'FALLON ASSEMBLY OF GOD! Can't wait to see all that the Lord has planned for this people and this church!

God is ready to take us all to a new level and a new place...and we are eager to follow!

If you are ever on the Metro East side of the St. Louis area...let me invite you to come for a visit!

Love to all.

Let me share some more pictures with you from our recent trip in attending the 54th General Council of the Assemblies of God in Phoenix, Arizona.

Once again it was a powerful time of ministry, business, and meeting tons of friends both from CBC, as well as over 28 years of pastoral ministry in the Assemblies of God (connected with lots of people from previous churches and also Districts). It is realistically our national convention that convenes once every two years in a different city across the United States. Tammy and I love participating in all of the activities of GC!

We were also able to visit American Indian College there in Phoenix where my brother-in-law Dr. David DeGarmo is the President. It was a great connection with where my sister and her family are serving through an A/G U.S. Missions appointment.

On Sunday we worshiped @ Phoenix First Assembly and heard Pastor Tommy Barnett preach a message entitled, "From Generation to Generation." This is one of our flagship churches in the Assemblies of God numbering more than 4,000 people in weekly service experiences. It deeply touched my heart to witness around 30-50 people respond to the salvation invitation at the end of the service. Pastor Barnett is passionate about winning souls for His kingdom!

Trust this photo journal provides you with a birds-eye view into the activities of our A/G General Council.

Love to all!
