New Hope Community Church

Our dear friends in Soda Springs and its surrounding areas gathered together for a church photo. We thank the Lord for this ministry. Right now the children are getting ready for a Christmas Program with the story of the "Three Trees on the Hillside."

Our Ministry Team with Biblical Ministries Worldwide in Idaho and Utah

Taken during the Field Retreat this summer, this picture shows our ministry team and families. Ministry in the states of Utah and Idaho can be very different and difficault at times. It can also be very exciting and wonderful. No matter what the time of year or nature of circumstances for getting together, it is great to have this family (in ministry) for support, encouragement, and leadership.

The Boys at Pioneer Bible Camp

You have heard of Christmas in July, well here's a camp photo at Christmas. You can see Sam all the way on the left and Andrew with his famous "Gumby" shirt in the back. You can see Andrew's medals for cross country in the other picture we have posted, but we still need to get pictures of the awards Samuel has for the "Aca-deca" or Academic Decathlon. He has just earned two silver awards and a gold for competions in academics.
It is a wonderful thing to see our boys do well in school, but we are most encouraged when we see that they use these talents for the Lord. Both of the boys serve in the areas of maintenance and counseling during camp.

After the Dinner

Andrea and Charity as they get together after a dinner where we are now meeting for church in Soda Springs. Charity is one of our Teen Bible Study students who is now in college at Boise State. Get-togethers at church bring great opportuntiy for ministry up-close and personal.

Andrew's Cross Country Awards

This year, Andrew's Senior year, Andrew received an award for both District and State in Cross Country. We want to include these achievements on the blog so that family and friends can quickly see what has taken place in our household as well as in our ministry.
Paul said, ... (Phi 2:16) "Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain." A great testimony is not that we just run well physically, but that we finish our race for the Lord with joy. We are so pleased that God can use our sons in school and in ministry
