American Missionary Fellowship

RobAnne and I recently signed reworked documents for our trust and wills. We met with an attorney a few weeks ago to discuss the matter and to review what we’d done a few years ago. It’s amazing how much our life has changed!

I preach a lot in different churches, camps, and events. Most of my life I’ve made a living speaking. I’ve seen a lot of churches, a lot of different expressions of our faith. Sunday morning I was preaching at our own home church on Samuel’s anointing of David.

Each one of our missionaries develops a prayer and financial support team. They communicate with the people on those teams through email, Facebook, and newsletters. For the first time in recent history, the Board of Trustees of the mission has asked missionaries to nominate people for the board. When missionaries nominate someone, it’s almost always someone who is a part of their prayer and financial support team.

I just spent four or five days with Jim and Linda VanVoorst. We rode around visiting people in the Northwest – went to camps and met with some missionaries to work out some other issues. RobAnne and I stayed in their home, and I want to tell you: Jim is a wise man. He’s a wise man because he knows our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is wise because he’s in the Word. Linda is a woman of God’s grace and is in the Word, as well.

RobAnne and I visited Camp Morrow last week and got to stay in their brand-new nurse’s quarters at their horse camp. What a great facility and what an incredible ministry with the horses, the lake, the children’s program, and all the marvelous volunteers who make Camp Morrow what it is!

What I really enjoyed was going to the meeting the night we were there. The camp was junior age. I think it was fourth through sixth graders. After some incredible worship, the local director of Child Evangelism Fellowship was the speaker.
