Dear family and friends,
I received great news today. Worker’s Comp approved the arthroscopic surgery. I really expected them to deny the claim because there are two meniscal tears which they might have considered to be a new injury. But I simply put it in the Lord’s hands and whatever would be decided would be alright with me. So now we are rejoicing and the surgery is scheduled for the 30th of May. I told the surgery coordinator that if there is a cancellation before that to put me in. Otherwise we won’t be able to leave here until the middle of June.
Well back at the church we continue to work and serve. We have all been concentrating on the music. We now actually have rehearsals. We have added some instrumentation and the music selection is better planned and arranged. Here we are last Sunday night and look who is on bass.
Left to right is Lynda McBride vocals, Pastor
Dennis on guitar, me on bass, Barb Stephan on the banjo, and Eric Stephan on the mandolin.

We at Bethany are praising the Lord for two new couples: Ray and Judy; Randy and Donna. Both of these couples have brought a new excitement and energy to the church.
My Dayle has already seen some improvement in her fingers. They do appear to be getting straighter and the pain is subsiding. We are sure that the warm weather is helping too. Today it was only 100 degrees. Two days ago it reached 108. Oh we sure love the warmer weather.
We have so much to be thankful for:
1. My Dayle’s fingers doing much better.
2. My surgery being approved.
3. New people have come to the church and are staying!
Prayer Requests:
1. Bethany Bible Church
2. Dayle’s physical conditions.
3. A successful knee surgery and speedy recovery.
4. For our house in Klamath Falls to sell.
5. For our future ministry at Fir Point Bible Camp and elsewhere.
6. Financial Support - Our monthly financial support has dwindled to almost nothing. We now have only one supporter. Our biggest expense is fuel. With diesel at almost $4 a gallon it costs us $125 for every fill up. When we are stationary at a ministry it is no big deal. But when traveling it really adds up fast. We do not want to be a burden on the struggling churches or ministries that we serve at so we don't accept any payment from them other than perhaps some utilities. If you feel the Lord leading you to help with our support please send your donations to:
Northwest Independent Church Extension
P.O. Box 2225, Sumner WA 98390-0490
Phone (253) 826-7881
Any support sent through NICE is tax deductible and when sending to NICE be sure note our name on your check.
