Firestarters in March 2010
We traveled to LaPush for the installation of Pastor George and Rita Kallappa as the new pastors of LaPush Assembly of God Church.. There was a good turnout for the event and the meal provided was fantastic. We spent the night at LaPush and attend the Sunday morning service and later participate in the birthday party for Kandi, George and Rita’s oldest daughter. After the party, was the church service at Lower Hoh. Again, a very good turnout and a young man accepted the Lord. We met a lot of nice people at LaPush and Lower Hoh.. We have added them to our list of contacts for prayer. God continues to answer prayers … what a blessings seeing native pastors filling the need on the reservations and the doors of the churches staying open.
Christ Church at Elbe had their annual church picnic this month. Often we are unable to attend but this year it worked out so we could participate in the fellowship. It’s always so good to reconnect with old friends.
Church of the Indian Fellowship along with two other churches in Pierce County headed up a six week session called “Conversation Around Race”. The meetings were so enlightening and informative. We were unable to attend all six sessions but thoroughly enjoyed the three that were attended. The purpose of the meetings was to bring down walls and build unity among different ethnic Christians. At the six session, Pat was honored to help with communion and to dance two of her interpretive dances.
The end of the month, we help facilitate what is now called the “Honor Circle” instead of the “Marriage Circle”. Gary gave his testimony of his life before Christ and life with Christ and how he met Pat and married. Gary is a fantastic storyteller…he holds your attention and is SO funny! People love it when Gary is sharing his stories…he quite the entertainer. Pat still laughs and cries at his tales even though she has heard them so many times.
The Garcia Family celebrated their father’s birthday and annual revival meetings. Saturday was a great day…so many came from other areas to honor Alex and the family! The Gracia’s have been friends for many years…we value them and their friendship.
We love our grandkids….we had so much fun with them on grandparents day at their school. Later, before lunch,, we visited great-grandma Jan. The kids loved on herand prayed with her before we left. Boy! That really touches your heart.
Blessings to everyone!
