Paul & Stacy - Great to see pictures of the new House on the website! And also great to see Ben and Connie again - send them my best. I spent a LOT of time at their hospitality house in Korea about a dozen years ago. And it looks like Lori and I might get an opportunity to travel out there this summer! We'll keep you in our prayers - and all the fine military folks that you guys minister to... trust me - it makes a difference! In Christ, Phil

Paul and Beryl,

Thank you for your encouragement and prayers. We had a wonderful evening and thank the Lord for blessing the occasion. See you in March!

Phil and Lori,

Thank you for checking in with us. Your encouragement is always appreciated and we hope that you will stop in to see us when you visit. We are very thankful for our FCC family!

Great to see such a good start to your new ministry at Pearl. We rejoice with you.

Hi Paul and Stacy,

I just wanted to give you the news that we are 100% going to TCS to Israel this summer. It will be a crazy time though, I will not be returning from Afghanistan until sometime in May. You should do another trip to Israel and come visit once Gaza calms back down.

May God bless you ministry in Hawaii as he did in Germany and Japan! :)

Hello Paul,

Great to see God place a CSC in Pearl Harbor. What an incredible blessing and answer to prayer!
Raquel and I know a couple being stationed at Schofield this summer. They were hoping for some help in finding their way around and in getting off base housing. I couldn't find any address on your site to give them. Got some contact info? I married them and they are a good Christian couple that needs to get plugged in to a church as well.

Stand firm,
tim mcdonald

Aloha Tim and Raquel!
Sooo good to hear from you. We trust that you are all doing well and that your ministry is going strong. We'd love to stay in touch more regularly so please send me your email address. As for your friends, we would love to meet them. You may direct them to our new ministry website here: www.homeportoahu.com It has the address, phone, map, ministry schedule, etc.

The Lord bless you in 2009.

Hello! We were just checking your blog and as always it made us miss you. We are so excited to see YOU! Anything else is just a bonus. How exciting to see pictures of the new house filled with people. We will be praying for you and the ministry there. All our love!

Hi Herdens in the U.S.....We can't wait to see you, too! You'll have to do some reseach about what you want to do, because there is so much to do here and then we can plan your time together. Enjoy the cold...you'll be very warm here!

Stacy,
Your family website is so neat! I hope you're feeling better soon.
I can't believe I've misplaced your phone number. I was wondering if the Hope & Jenna could babysit for us, Tuesday or Wednesday from 3:30 p.m.to about 7:30-8 p.m. this week.

My phone # is (253) 921-2784. We live on MCBH/K-Bay... we would love it if they could come here.

Call me soon,

Janel Watt from Pearl Harbor MOPS

Happy 14th Birthday to you Hopey! We wish we could be with you today but we are soooo glad we had the chance to have a small birthday celebration with you at the Outback a couple of weeks ago. We love you so much. Hugs from Nana and Grandpa.

Thank you Nana! We wish you were here!!!!!!

We are so thrilled for you as you welcome Aaron Samuel into your family!!! I was just getting my Christmas cards ready, and realized your baby was expected soon, so I got on your website and found the great news! May our Gracious Lord bless you as a family of five!

Love, Deni

Hey did you change your Bible version from NASB to the ESV? Just wondering because I saw that on your books your reading.

Thank you, Deni! We are very excited by Aaron's arrival and he is such a joy.

Zorian,

Was Aaap!? Stacy gave me a new ESV Study Bible last year and I really enjoy it. I still prepare my studies and preach from my NASB though. Both versions are worthy ;-)
