Ministry Update – Fall 2025

Dear Friends

Do you ever have strong ideas and desires to get more done?  There are so many opportunities for ministry and things we could do if God would bring it together.  I was taught many years ago that a need does not necessitate a call.  In other words, just because there is a need and you could do it, does not mean that the Lord would have you fill that need.  One part of our ministry has been to help hurting churches, pastors and people.  At this time, there seems to be so many.  Like you, we wish we could do more.  One burden is the many churches seeking pastors; some are listed here.  Please pray.

  • Calvary Baptist Church in Bremerton WA is seeking a pastor.
  • Big Horn Independent Baptist Church in Worland WY is seeking a pastor.
  • First Baptist Church in Dillon MT is seeking a pastor.
  • Wapiti Valley Church, outside of Cody WY is seeking a pastor.
  • Grace Baptist Church in Randolph UT is seeking a pastor.

Here are some special health needs:  please pray.

  • Rebekah, wife of Pastor Aron Schrepfer at Pioneer Peak Baptist Church in the Palmer AK area has terminal cancer.  Please pray for God’s comfort and grace.
  • Pastor Jonathon Edwards had a serious accident.  He is in recovery from losing his leg below the knee and other injuries.  Please pray for recovery.
  • A pastor with Parkinson’s disease is trying to navigate the effects while continuing ministry.
  • Many pastors near or past retirement age are dealing with age related physical issues, while seeking someone to take over the leadership and care of the churches where they pastor.

Jeneen and I have been busy in ministry as God leads.  We recently had meetings in WY and MT along with some Sunday fill-in in churches.  In November, Jeneen and I will go to WY to be at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Pinedale, where Chris Best is Pastor.  We will also be there in January.  When home, we are busy at our church, teaching, staff meetings, and Bible studies.  Every trip this fall was filled with the beauty of God’s creation, especially so this year.  Thank you for your prayers and care for us as we continue to do what God sets before us.
