Pennsylvania People & Places

Our "neighboring" friends from our Valley View, PA days, Phil & Kim Krause, hosted us for 3 days while we traveled around mid central PA.  Bill and Phil worked on many projects together and enjoyed hundreds of cups of coffee at area restaurants from 1989-1997!  They have been "Barnabus" friends to us, always an encouragement.  Loved catching up with how God is using them!


Many thanks to Paul & Deb Haken, friends for over 40 years, who drove an hour to have breakfast at DutchWay Restaurant in Myerstown yesterday.  Lots of deep conversations over the years about current issues, theology, politics~~they remain lasting friends who have supported and prayed for us, and always challenge us in our walks with Jesus.
Freshmen "roomies" at Columbia Bible College in 1969!!









Rev. Grover DeVault, Godly example to us, mentored Bill as a co-staff pastor during our 5 years at Faith EFC from 1984 to 1989.  We loved sharing with him and hearing the story of Nancy's home-going two months ago.  Bill has had three amazing mentors over the years—and this 87 year-old lover of God played an instrumental role in his growth as a pastor.  #grateful.
