Updates

This morning Jackie and I are packing to leave and do a Marriage Enrichment conference with couples from Timberline Church. The conference is being held in Vail....sigh! We will do 5 sessions in 36 hours and have prepared intensely and prayed much about this time. Jackie and I will do all the sessions in tandem/together...hoping to present a model along with information. If you think of us, would you pray for us?

We'll be back on Sunday night and after a few days will drive to Springfield, Colorado to do a Marriage Enrichment weekend with them. This is a small church that is stepping out into new territory...advertizing in the paper, inviting people across spectrum to come.

Then we will have a few days home and then drive to Midland, Texas to do a special service celebrating Norene Gion, a marvellous lady and servant of the Lord. She is on staff at the Teen Challenge Center. That center is using the Spirit Life book as a core discipleship piece - for women, and perhaps for men. It will be exciting to see what is happening there and to be with some terrific people for a short season.

Then, we will return to the city and begin a 4-Sunday Spirit Life series at Restoration Church...in their Restoration University. About 30 key leaders will probably attend. I am very excited to be able to present and do labs with Spirit Life.

First Edition is about sold out, but you can still get a copy easily by going to Pay Pal on this site. Spirit Life is being used as a personal devotional, a couples enrichment, church core material, discipleship enhancement...lots of ideas as people see it.

And really huge news for our family...Amy and Jess are great with child and we will have wonderful times of celebrating the arrival of two more grandchildren in the weeks ahead. Family are coming in to encourage and rejoice with us all...so our house will see a lot of hospitality...one of the things that greatly attracts God's Presence. Should be memorable days indeed.

It is a busy time...a blessed time...and a faith time. Thanks for your prayers and support in various ways. Our continuing prayer is "Your will be done" in our lives.

Your friends, always...
Dave and Jackie

Hi Dave & Jackie!
This sounds awesome, I wish Gene & I could be there to hear your message in person.
Jackie...I've never forgotten how you welcomed me and loved on me when I'd come to the women's ministry stuff as I was trying to get closer to God after coming out of such a dark time in my life. Thanks for letting God use you.
Miss you guys and congrats on the grandbabies that are coming your way! :)
Blessings & Hugs,
