June 2025 Update

                                                                                    June 2025

Dear Friends,

            Jeneen has been through a lot in the past few months.  Thank you for your prayers for her and the surgeries she recently had.  In March, her gallbladder was successfully removed and in May she had a knee replacement.  I have been playing nurse along with the ministry that the Lord places before us.  Jeneen’s digestive health has improved since the removal of her gallbladder.  Her knee replacement has gone well.  She has a lot of pain but that is normal for such a procedure.  She faithfully does her therapy and exercises.  They say her pain levels will go down in the future.  Please continue to pray for her full recovery.

Ministry –

            In April, Shelley Baptist Church in Shelley Idaho invited me to do a family conference.  It was a blessing to be with the church family.  God is working at the church.  Pastor Doug Sondergaard and his wife Bethany are doing well in ministry.  Please pray the church there.  May was busy with Jeneen’s recovery and ministry in our home church.  I have been teaching the adult Sunday school.  I have one more Sunday.  In July, I will be doing camp in WA with Chewelah Baptist Church and ministering there on a Sunday.  We have not personally met the new pastor, Chris Robertson, but we have talked several times on the phone.  We also have a couple of meetings in the fall. 

Men’s Backpacking Camp –

            The 28^th of July will start our Men’s Backpacking Camp.  We have a good group coming this year.  With a new hip, I am looking forward to time in the mountains.  As we have often said, to be with men who love the Lord and to be in His creation is “soul refreshing.” 

Special Requests –

• Please pray for Jeneen and for her recovery.
• Please pray for our schedule.  We had planned to go east for a large trip but are waiting to see how Jeneen does in recovery.
• Please pray for decisions about future ministry opportunities.

Thank you all for your prayers and support.  God has been working.  I also look forward to other ministry in the churches that we have not included in this letter.  May God bless as we all walk with Him.
