This past Sunday I preached my last message. On Monday I cleaned out the pastor's office. What a wonderful feeling to have set out to "work myself out of a job" and have accomplished that goal. The new pastor arrives this evening. Today a bunch of us are going over to the house that the new pastor has rented to insure that it is ready for their arrival. Tomorrow morning we will unload their truck and move them in.
There is a real sense of hope and excitement in the air as the church is looking forward. We too are very excited for Bethany Bible Church and we are excited about what the Lord has in store for us next. This next Sunday with be Pastor Dennis McBride's first Sunday. The Church is going to have a "Hail and Farewell" dinner for us and the McBrides after the morning service.
Right now we are staying in Stan and Stephanie Broder's 5th wheel trailer. We left our trailer at my brother-in-law and sister's house in Pinon Hills when we went to visit with them for Christmas. We had to move out of the RV Park to make way for new renters. So since we needed a place to stay at my sister's house, we took our trailer. We will be returning to my sister's house on the 8th or 9th and will stay with them for about a week. Then up to Neeley in Rancho Cordova (Sacramento area). We plan on being back in Klamath Falls toward the end of January. We should be in southern Oregon for about a week (+ or - a few days) to visit Annie, Mel and the kids and take care of personal business in KFalls, then up to Port Angeles to be with Jason and Shelli and the kids.
We have not received a new assignement yet but we are sure that will come soon.
Please continue to pray for Bethany Bible Church. Please continue to pray for us as we are still in need of financial support; and pray for safety as we travel, and for our next assignment.
