"But my life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus - the work of telling others the good news about God's wonderful kindness and love."

Psalm 32:19 expresses our
praise to the Lord. "Your goodness is so great! You have
stored up great blessings for those who honor you."
Becky and I feel so
blessed. During April of 2008 we had the privilege of traveling on a
Mission Trip to Nicaragua with our son, Jeff, and grandson, David.
What a joy to be involved in ministry with three
generations. Jeff and I taught the pastors while
David preached on the streets. This year we will enjoy the
graduation of David. Our granddaughter, Alissa, will graduate
in 2010 and Joshua in 2011. Caleb turned 11 in November and
Jonathan turned 9. They are great kids and we are so proud of
them and our son, Jeff and daughter in law, Melodie. We are so
blessed when we have the privilege to attend
Allison Park Church
where Jeff serves as pastor.
Debbie and Fausto are
still serving on the staff of New
York School of Urban Ministry (NYSUM) in New York City.
Fausto began studying English at La Guardia College last September.
Along with Debbie's office job as the Director of Development and
Fausto's work with the Maintenance Department, they train and lead
teams in ministry to the homeless and the needy in the inner city.
Michael and Jennifer
blessed our lives with two granddaughters in the last two years.
Julia and Alicia are just sweethearts and we can't make it more than
a day or two without visiting them. Julia cannot contain her
joy when Papa and Grandma come to visit. Jennifer works out of
their home as an accountant for Philips, and Mike is now one of the
chiropractors at Irwin Barber Chiropractor Clinic in Harrison City.
We have had the privilege of serving as pastor at two Assembly of God churches. We began in ministry at the ages of 20 and 21 leading the church in Titusville for two and one half years, then at Monroeville Assembly of God for forty years.
God has given us
health and the privilege of continued ministry throughout
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Ohio. We have been honored to be
able to teach in Cuba, India, Nicaragua, Mexico and Sri Lanka.
We continue to serve the Lord in preaching at a variety of
churches each week and by teaching Conferences on Leadership for
Pastors and Church Leaders, Family Life for Married and Engaged
Couples and Missions Emphasis for Church groups.
"Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me." Psalm 71:18
