Recent Weekend Connections

March 1st I visited Sierra Heights Fellowship in Colorado Springs, CO and Pastor Tom and D’arcy Maher. The congregation meets in the Maher’s home with a good number of young people in attendance.

March 7th I ministered at the Radiant Church, Colorado Springs, CO men’s breakfast. Pastor Todd and Kelly Hudnall are leading the church forward with exciting ministry plans. It was great to see friends from the past and meet new men in the church.

March 8th I installed Pastor Ron and Kim Wareham at Daystar Assembly of God (now New Life Assembly of God) in Aurora, CO. Welcome to the Warehams; all the way from the great state of California.

March 15th I ministered at First Assembly of God in LaJunta, CO as Pastor Richard and Robin Johnson and their congregation celebrated 30 years in the current facility. New property has been secured and plans to build a new facility are in the works.

March 22nd I ministered at First Assembly of God in Englewood, CO with Pastor T. J. and Robin Harris. I grew up in this church and am happy to see the growth that is occurring as the Harris’ and congregation reach out to the community.
March 29th I ministered at Life Church in Salt Lake City, UT with Pastor Jim and Carrie Ayers. They are bursting at the seams and many new souls are coming into the kingdom through Life Church. It was also a joy to visit with Pastor Troy Champ and hear what God is doing at Capital Church in the City and Pastor Alfred Murrillo and learn more of the expansive work of New Hope International Church.

April 5th I installed Pastor Mark and Pam Gering at Christian Life Assembly of God in Payson, UT. Welcome back to Utah, Gerings! There is much excitement going forward in Payson.

April 12th I had the extraordinary privilege of ministering at Celebration Church in Loveland, CO with Pastor Charles and Glennis Hefton. It was extraordinary because it was Easter Sunday and because this was the re-launch Sunday of our Assemblies of God church in Loveland. Due to extenuating circumstances we closed the previous church and under the leadership of Charles Hefton started Celebration Church. Exciting things are happening with this new chapter of ministry in Loveland.

April 17-19 the Fine Arts Convention held in Longmont, CO went well despite very severe weather. The great majority of participating churches were able to attend the event. When I visited Saturday night there was a high level of excitement and young people were receiving inspiring ministry. For the churches that could not attend please call the Youth Department for opportunities to perform and advance in Fine Arts. It is exciting to see so many young people using their gifts to God’s glory.

April 19th Loretta and I stayed close to home and worshipped at Living Hope Church in Colorado Springs, CO. Pastor Phil Steiger had Bob Cook minister that morning, and it was great to reconnect with the Cooks as well as the church we call home. Living Hope Church is growing with several giving their hearts to the Lord in recent weeks.

I normally don’t share this much of a travelogue, but it reminds me we are part of a great team of people in ministry throughout Colorado and Utah. Also, I have heard several very encouraging reports from Easter Sunday. Many have reported record attendance and many salvations. God is using our AG pastors and churches. “… My dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:58).
