Summer 2014

After thirty-two years in ministry with Village Missions, Keith came to the conclusion last fall (with the help of the deacons) that he needed to take time away from the field for rest and refreshment.

He took six weeks off in January/February, and Caleb preached and fulfilled the duties of senior pastor. We are most grateful for how the Lord used him to fill in the blanks we left behind. 

In April, we were blessed to have all four of our kids in Pahrump 
at the same time!

We celebrated Elijah's second birthday, and all the cousins got to be together.

Clara                                                           Emily

Lauri graduated from California Baptist University in December with a degree in music education. After six months in Riverside, she transferred to the East Coast and is enjoying her time there.

Our “new” building continues to progress at a snail’s pace. The flooring is the project being worked on now. It would be wonderful if we could be in this multi-purpose building by Christmas.

Zachary got out of the Navy last summer. He and his family moved to Pahrump but ended up unemployed for almost eight months. We praise the Lord for providing a good job in Las Vegas. They are currently in the process of purchasing a home there.

After our Village Missions Summer Connection in early June, we enjoyed a weekend with Katie Ellyn and family in the mountains of Northern California.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself,
and God our Father,
Who loved us and gave us eternal comfort
and good hope through grace,
comfort your hearts and establish them
in every good work and word.
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Are you going to load your older Updates into this forum so we can all review your ministry through the years? Just an idea.

An idea that requires a TON of work and is likely beyond my limited capabilities!
