Since my last report, I had the privilege of speaking at Amazing Grace Fellowship for Pastor Mark Apodaca on March 17^th.  What a blessing to worship with this exciting church.  God bless you Mark as you continue to lead this church forward.

Sunday, March 31^st Loretta and I joined the thousands (praise God) who attended Red Rocks Church for their special Easter services at the First Bank Center in Broomfield, CO.  Several hundred people stood to accept Jesus Christ after Chad Bruegman delivered a clear message of the gospel.  God bless Pastors Shawn Johnson, Chad Bruegman, and Scott Bruegman together with their entire leadership team as they continue to seize the opportunity to impact the Denver area for our Lord.

Sunday, April 7^th we visited New Destiny Christian Center in Thorton, CO.  Pastor Keenan Roberts delivered a wonderful, biblically balanced message on healing with prayer for the sick at the conclusion of the service.  God is at work in and through this church.  On Easter weekend several gave their hearts to the Lord and many rededicated their lives to Christ through the dramatic presentation provided by New Destiny.  God bless you Keenan and Angela as you lead this church forward.
