RECENT CONNECTIONS

January 12 I spoke to the men of Church at Briargate in Colorado Springs.  This church has an impressive foundation of godly men.  God bless you Pastor Scott Bottoms as you lead this church forward.

January 13 I spoke for Pastor Albert Lopez at Lighthouse Worship Center in Walsenburg, CO.  This is a fine congregation with an excellent spirit.  God bless you, Albert as you continue your ministry in Walsenburg.

January 16-17 we conducted our January Presbyter meeting in Colorado Springs.  Wednesday evening the Presbyters gathered with our Ordination candidates and spouses for a wonderful banquet marked by an excellent message on the ministry by Phil Steiger.

January 20 I had the honor of installing Tony Jensen as the new pastor at Praise Community Church in Eads, CO.  Tony served as the Youth Pastor in this church in years past and returns with a respected history of ministry in the community.  The church built a beautiful new facility last year which we enjoyed in the morning installation service and also in the sectional evening service as the churches in the Southeast Section gathered for worship and fellowship.  Congratulations Tony on this new ministry assignment and to the church for the new facility.

January 26 I had the privilege of participating in the memorial service for Violet Bluhm.  Violet was an AG ordained minister who died at the age of 100 years.  She left a wonderful legacy of ministry.

In February we conducted our annual sectional tour travelling throughout CO and UT to meet with our ministers and church delegates.  It was an enriching time of ministry, fellowship, and business.  We have a great network of ministers doing good work. 

On Sunday, February 24^th I had the privilege of speaking at Life Church in Salt Lake City, UT for Pastor Jim Ayers.  This is one of our largest churches in the district with a growing congregation of people excited about their faith.

Sunday, March 3^rd I installed Chris Johnson as the new Lead Pastor at Journey Church in Strasburg, CO.  Chris and his wife Karen have four children and are excited about God’s call to Strasburg.  Welcome to the RMD Johnson family and may God abundantly bless your ministry.

CONGRATULATIONS;
