Allow me to introduce a few of them:
Anna Droll, an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God,
has been on staff at Carpenter’s House church in Modesto for a number of
years.
Now she and her husband, Raymond,
are dedicating themselves to touching some “unreached tribes” in the extreme corners of rural Ghana,
Africa with the love and message of Jesus.
Special people!
Martin and Charlotte Jacobson, from Kentucky are missionaries
to Argentina and directors of our Patagonian Bible Institute, the Assemblies of
God’s southernmost Bible institute in the world.
Last week they were visiting California and
spoke at a sectional minister’s meeting here in Modesto. Their leadership, along with Missionaries Eddie and Diana
Echevarria, is preparing and sending out many young couples into Argentina’s
most needy areas and even to several other countries around the world. Their motto is: “From the Ends of the Earth
to the Ends of the Earth.”
Chuck Roots, Pastor of the Free Methodist Church in Ripon, California; Navy
Chaplain to the Marines, served in Afghanistan; Baghdad, Iraq; Kuwait and ‘who-knows-where-else.’
He publishes a weekly article worth reading, called “Roots in
Ripon” in the local newspaper ‘Ripon Record.’ In his articles he speaks out boldly for
Christian principles. Last Friday I
enjoyed a delightful lunch with him at Spring Creek Golf and Country Club. Please take a moment and go to his website http://chuckroots.com/ , read last week's article "My Country" and if you are interested... you may follow the instructions at the top of the page to subscribe and receive it each week.
Truthfully I have hundreds of "special people" in my life and each one is worthy of a whole page of pictures and details. These are a just a few that I have been privileged to fellowship with this past week.
