LBC Happenings

God is at work at LBC.  It's awesome to see His hand at work in the hearts of the people.  We've seen several moves made for salvation and baptism of late.  We saw 19 saved at camp with 4 surrender to pastoral ministry.  One of those has committed to attending IBI.  That makes 3 freshman for the next school year.  Please pray that God will conintue to move and that His people will respond.

Catching Up

It has been awhile since I posted to my personal blog.  Things are busy, but going well.  We have enjoyed seeing visitors almost every week this year.  God has been blessing not just at Landmark, but in her ministries as well.  I am humbled and awed that God has offered me the privilege of being involved and engaged in His Kingdom work.  We are having services this week, praying for Revival and that God will use us to impact our community. I personally am seeking that God will find in me a submissive and surrendered spirit that will enable Him to use me for His glory.  I pray for our community and country as well.


I'm thankful for Cathy, my faithful wife and friend who has shared the journey with me as well as the ministry.  Her love for the Lord and personal walk with the Lord is an encouragement to me; as is her love for the children she teaches each week.  I am truly blessed!


I am also thankful for the fact that my children are in church and serving the Lord.  My grandchildren are a blessing and I'm thankful for their godly parents; praying that God will even now begin working in their hearts as they grow and reach that age of accountability.


All in all, I am awed and thankful for the blessings God has sent my way.  He's an awesome God!

Rejoicing for Josiah

Cathy, Tim and I were in Washington, PA to see our newest family member.  Josiah was born February 2nd. Both he and Kristine are doing well.  I am amazed at the blessings God has bestowed upon us.  He kept us safe as we traveled through the ice and snow that hit the mid-west and eastern part of the country.

LifePoint is doing great, and Jonathan is seeing results for his work with the team there.  Keep them in your prayers and that God will lead more to support their ministry.

Catching up...

As I reflect upon all that God has given me; all the blessings as well as opportunities to grow and serve, I conclude that I am blessed.  I have seen God working in the hearts of people who are facing hardships and coming out the stronger for it in their faith and commitment to Jesus Christ.  It's awesome to be a part of God's kingdom work, and I look forward not with trepidation, but with anticipation of what this new year holds.  For Cathy and me, it is coming to know our granddaughters more and watching them grow.  Is is also being introduced to our grandson who is soon to arrive.  Truly I am blessed.  I pray for my children and grandchildren.  I pray too for our nation and her leaders.  But most of all I pray that I and the church I pastor will glorify God and represent Him in this world with integrity of love, truth and service.

Feeling Better... Thanks for Praying

I have the privilege of pastoring a great group of people who love the Lord and have been supportive friends over the years.  Yesterday was a day that was a blessing.  Although still recovering from a bug, I went to services prepared to preach.  The people had prepared a lunch for pastor appreciation day.  Inspite of not feeling good, the love and support of God's people warmed my heart.  I appreciate the love, expressions of support and gifts.  I'm feeling better... not 100% yet... but am busy getting things done for classes tomorrow.  I continue to marvel at God's blessings and grace toward me; not just through Cathy and the kids, but my extended family at Landmark.  I thank God for each of you... and pray that God will continue to bless our church and efforts as we work for Him.
