American Missionary Fellowship

I’m amazed at how little decisions that seem insignificant can become huge in our lives. They become life-changing decisions. For me, it was being a boy from Michigan going to school in California. From there I met RobAnne, got involved in ministry, and had wonderful experiences that changed my life.

As you probably know, our national staff meeting will take place in California in about three weeks. All the area coordinators, the regional directors, and several other invited guests are coming together to learn and to grow, to seek God in a corporate way.

I recognize that, even in bringing up this topic, it leaves people out. But this meeting was all we could afford, and I really believe that it is what God wants for our mission - to bring us together as a unit to seek Him for a week.

A year ago, RobAnne and I and our daughter, Barrett, came to Westmont College to participate in the competition for four Monroe Scholarships. It’s a great scholarship, pays for almost everything, and they bring together the top students in the admitting class for this competition. It involves interviews, testing, and a variety of other things.

We were invited back this year to participate in the parents’ panel, where we would answer questions from parents whose students were participating in this competition.

Some of us are wired to dream dreams. Some people fulfill those dreams, and some people are challenged by dreamers. I am a dreamer – always have been and probably always will be. I love to be around people who can dream.

I wish you could have been with me last Thursday morning! I got to go to a before-school Bible club with Bill and Brenda Bennett. We had to leave shortly after 6:00 a.m. in order to be there for the forty-five or fifty elementary students who attended this Bible club meeting.
