Hi Everyone! Please leave your greeting below and we'll respond as soon a s we can. Thanks for checking in with us!

A veritable thing of beauty.

Fred - you're too kind :-)

Hey Paul, Got a great website you can add to your web. it's www.monergism.com. Best consolidated site of great materials I've found on the web. Yours bro.

Hi Jeff,

I checked out the website and discovered that I already had it saved in my 'favorites'. It is a wonderful resource! I look forward to getting with you on Skype soon.

Hey Paul. I love the new deck. How are things going at the Lighthouse. I'm doing good over here in Atlanta. I'm starting to get settled into my job. If you want to write me, you can e-mail me at: Ronald.Prince@navy.mil. I should be over in Japan around the 4th of September. Hopefully I will have a chance to stop by the Lighthouse. Talk to you later.

God Bless.

Hi Ronald!
Great to hear from you my brother. We think of you often and wish that you were still stationed here in Yoko. Things here are going very well and the Lord has brought a bunch of new visitors to the ministry in recent weeks, many from the Fitzgerald. I'll shoot you an email soon.

That is great. I just bought my ticket today. I will be in Japan on the evening of September 5th and will leave the evening of the 15th. I hope I can stop by and see you.

hey Paulmeister. thanks for checking out our webpage. i think we'll be all getting together fairly soon for our cadence thingy, huh? i look forward to fellowshiping with you soon!
ttfn

Hi Jason...thanks my brother, we look forward to seeing you!

Paul and Family!

Your websites are awesome! We hope things are going well with you guys just down the Chuo :-). Hopefully we'll be meeting you again next friday for your bible study! Thanks for your ministry

Hey Paul and Fam,
Man, I totally miss you guys! All is going great here. Married life is pretty darn cool. I am not sure if you have seen any of the pics or not. If you havent, then i will find the website and let you know. I pray for you guys often and look forward to the day when we all can meet again. As for myself, I start school next monday. Amanda just went back to work teaching at the Christian School at our church. She is teaching 6,7 and 8th graders, math and science. Pretty cool. We also teach a class on Sunday mornings for the Junior leadership in our youth group. The class is really awesome, but the only thing that bumms me out is that, the class is made up of entirely girls with the exception of mayb 3 or 4 guys. The rest is girls, Probably like 20 to 30 of them. The age range is like from 9th grade to college. There is also the senior leadership class which is made up of more devoted people, but i think that there may be more girls than boys in there too. Well....maybe that class is even....not too sure. But the point i am driving at is that, WHERE are all the guys at??? It saddens me that the majority of the workers here in the u.s. are females. What happened you know?? Anyways, as always, the church in America continues to need prayer, as most churches try to cater to women and the men kind of get left behind. Cant wait to hear from you!
In Christ,
luke
FYI, my email is: Lukeecrawford@yahoo.com

Paul,
Hey, Katie and I are pretty disapointed because I ended up having to work this weekend, starting Friday. I was pretty excited to come to the Lighthouse bible study though. So, we're gonna check out next months schedule and see what we can do. Also, have you heard about JOSE LUIS DE JESUS MIRANDA? Google that and then please keep that in your prayers. Be blessed!
DnK

Hey Doug, if you don't mind, please send me your regular email address. Thanks! pscadence@msn.com

Luke!!!! Buddy!!!!!
Bro, we really miss you around here. We have said goodbye to so many wonderful people over the last few weeks and it's been hard as ever but the Lord continues to bring new individuals to the Lighthouse. He is faithful. We would love to see some of your wedding pictures if you send us a link for them. Are you enjoying marriage? I can just hear you saying "It rocks!" We miss you and pray for you often. Stay in touch my friend and please come back for a visit sometime. Maybe you can make it to Zorian's Colorado wedding in December?? He and the Koedykers leave in just over a week :-(

Oh man Paul, I am sorry to hear that. I know how much they mean to you. That was one of the hardest things about going to the lighthouse was saying good bye to friends and knowing that your probably not going to see them again until you get to Heaven.
As for mariage, i just said the other day to someone that married life Rocks! That is so funny that you said that!
The website for the my wedding pictures is www.sendtoprint.com and the password is crawfordwedding. Then when you enter the gallery, you can click on the categories tab and navigate through the pictures that way! You should see Rich's hair! It was a little unruly!
I wish that i could make it to Zorian's wedding! That is such a bummer that i cant, but i already know that i am going to be busy with school. It will be finals plus i have to work to pay the bills. Boooooo....
Hey, i gotta jet right now so I will talk to you later!
Luke

sweeeeet! thank you luke - stay in touch my brother!

pC

Paul,
  You and your family are continually in my prayers and thoughts. I hope all the transitions going on go as smoothly as possible. It looks like from the websites that God is doing awesome things over there at the Lighthouse and I love reading all the updates and the like. If you could, could you send me your e-mail address again? Mine's m_brevet@yahoo.com. Thanks and God bless.
Mike

Hi Mike,
Great to hear from you brother! Seems like such a long time since you were here but we have some very fond memories of the times we spent together at the LH. Our email address is pscadence@msn.com

When you get a chance, shoot me an email with a more detailed update on what you are doing and how God has been working in your life. We will be sure to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

In Him, Paul

Hi Paul and Stacy!
We are putting together our missionary prayer guide for our upcoming Mission Week November 5-12. We would like to "borrow "your 2006 prayer challenge to the Lighthouse community as part of the prayer guide. Is this ok? It is a great challenge, we always like to include things done by our missionary family. Also, we have a section in the prayer guide for birthdays and anniversaries. For some reason we do not have the birth years for Hope and Jenna. Could you send these to us? Many thanks for the ministry you have and for your deep concern for the spriritual wellbeing of our military personnel.
Please pray for our Mission Week. We want it to glorify God and motivate believers!!

In Christ alone,
Dave & Nancy Cole

Hi Dave and Nancy,
Thank you for your message. Of course you can use our prayer challenge in the Missions Week prayer guide. Let us know how the week goes. I'll send you the birthdays on the email. Thanks for praying for us! We will pray for you and your church. Hoping to still see you in the Spring!
Blessins in Jesus,
Stacy

I served in the US Navy, aboard the USS Hancock, between 1957 and 1958. The pictures you posted looked like the old Christian serviceman's center on Cho Hill that I attended when we visited Yokosuka. Am I correct in my identification of this location? The person then serving there was named Loren Lilly.

Hi Paul and Stacy -

Congrats on three years! It does not seem like that long ago already! God is Good - and Faithful!!!

We know Rebekah made it there - did her stuff arrive OK? No news is good news, but still... Did all make it through customs, etc., OK?

In Him; Gary for the Hodgsons

Gary - yes, it's all here! Thank you so much for taking care of the boxes, what a blessing. Rebekah is fitting right in and the girls absolutely love her. The Lord is so good to match us up with godly young women for our girls. Thank you for your support and prayers!

In His Grace, Paul

Dear Ted,

Thank you for your message. I'm not certain which pictures in particular that you are referring to because the old servicemen's center no longer exists. There is a shopping mall and a parking lot built on the old property at this time. The new facility was built in 1994 just up the hill across from the Yokosuka Museum and Cultural Hall near Chuo Park. I hope this helps. Thank you for writing and please send some pictures from your time here if you have any!

In His Grace, Paul Cassidy

Ok...we're ready for some more mail here! :)

Hey Paul and Stacy! Aleisa here... I have no really good excuses for not being a better corresponder- just small ones aged 5 and 2 1/2... I was delighted to get your note, Stacy, and hear that Heidi was able to come for a visit. I'm sure that was like a wellspring of fresh water! I would love to get on a plane myself and visit you-sans the preschoolers of course! It's hard for me to believe that Hope is almost a teenager! We are serrogate parents for a freshman at CCU. Melanie is my best friend's daughter from Birmingham. We are getting a taste of things to come...car trouble, boy trouble etc. Our kids are doing great. Little Melanie is completely bonded- she is very snuggly and affectionate- Whew!! You just never know. She seems really bright and she doesn't shut up! Either she is talking or singing ALL THE TIME! Both she and Nathan are at FBC preschool and LOVE IT. I enjoyed looking at your last Pics of your trip -looks like fun. So you mentioned that you are looking to God and the mission for what's next. We will be praying. You are loved AND prayed for. Aleisa for Curt Nathan and lil Melanie

Aleisa,
Thanks for your encouraging note. It is wonderful to hear from you. Don't worry - no expectations...I remember what it was like with two little ones! I'm thrilled to hear about Melanie. Praise the Lord that she has bonded with you and the guys. Please give our love to your family and to our extended family at FBC. Thanks for praying and please let us know how to pray for you!
Love, Stacy

Paul,
We have ordered four turkeys for your Thanksgiving meal with the Sailors. Instead of us paying for them we would like to donate $250.00 to the Lighthouse ministries and then you could use the extra money to buy other things that might be needed. We could give you a check today or when ever you need it. The turkeys are on hold until you need them also. Let me know what to put on the check and I can drop it off by the chapel. The check is from one of the local banks on base and it will be from the USS Blue Ridge chaplains funds.
Thanks for what you and your family are doing for all of our kids in uniform. God will richly bless you for your Kingdom work on this earth.

Thank you for your generous gift, Allan! We appreciate your support and trust that the Lord will richly bless our Thanksgiving celebration.

Hey I just wanted to drop by and say I love and miss you guys. I ran into a guy fro cadence the other day at my school. His name was Homer. I watched the video on the page and it was awesome. Its been a while since I have heard such strong preaching (even in snippets like that) Well blessings to you all.

Hey Nathan,
Great to hear from you my friend. We hope that you are doing well and that you remain focused on our Lord Jesus. Stay in touch and let us know what's going on with you.

In His Grace,
Paul

Stacy and Paul,
Loved the pictures of the Sushi Day. What fun. I know Joel would have loved it all. We just sent a package to you that came to Matts. Another small package arrived today. It is post-it notes. Before we mail it, do you have anymore things coming and I will send them all at one time?
Matt and family are at Steve's in southern VA for the weekend. We are babysitting Dakota. Love you, Mom

Hi

My name is Janet happen to surf by write a note of greetings from Singapore. wow interesting photos sushi making. May the Lord bless you all.

Janet

Thank you Janshen! We appreciate you stopping by.

Hi Paul,Stacy and girls,
Greeting from MD on a snowy Sunday!
Just wanted to let you know that you were prayed
for this past Friday morning. Lindsay and I are joining weekly with another mother/daughter at WBC to pray for God's work around the world.
Any specific requests that we can remember this coming Friday?
It's thrilling for me to hear my daughter praying
so passionately for God's glory to spread to all the nations!
Wow...what a privilege for two mothers to share with two daughters!
Love to you. Lois

Hi Lois,
What a treat to hear from you! Thank you for praying for us. The oppression is very real in these cultures with no strong witness for Christ. Pray for us and our ministry. Pray the Lord will reign in our home and in those who come in our home each week. Also, pray for Paul's missions trip to the Ukraine in April (20-28) - it's shaping up and will be a very, very busy, but full, trip. Hope is going with and may give her testimony. Pray for her to understand that she has a testimony!
We love you very much! Our love to all of you!
Stacy

Hi Stacy,
I was wondering if you could send me a picture of your family. I was trying to print it off and couldn't get my printer to work. Cassie is in AWANA and is at the section where she is supposed to send money to a missionary. She would like to send her money to ya'll...so she needs a picture to put in her book. You could try to email me one and I will see if I can print it from there. Our email address is jpowell001@hot.rr.com
Thank you so much!
Tisha

Tisha - got your email and I hope the pictures work. If not, let me know! Looking forward to hearing more about your life. I love seeing how the Lord has grown you and your family! :)

Hey Stacy, Paul and kids,

How is everything going in Yokosuka Japan. I haven't been able to get a hold of Roy Diaz yet. So if you see him please give him my new email address and tell him to write me or call me at: alicia.capps@gmail.com cell number is 817-851-9420 or he can text me if he has that function on his cell phone. tell him that i said Hi as well. Talk to you guys later.

Hi Alicia,
We hope that you are having a wonderful time back in the States. I don't have Roy's information here and we have seen very little of him since his arrival. Please write me at my msn email address if you want more information. Thanks!

Paul and Stacy and girls,
  I'm not sure you'll recognize me by name but I stayed at the Baumholder HH in 1998 with Lisa (Hitt) Cox (Rich's wife) when we came to visit James Johnson. I think of you all often and I am so thrilled to hear of the work that God is doing through you at The Lighthouse. I get your newsletters and I am so blessed by the good news of how God is working. My husband is in the process of applying to become an army chaplain so keep us in your prayers as we begin seminary and ministry to soldiers. My short visit at the HH in Baumholder really stirred my heart for our soldiers and their families, especially those so far from home. Of course at that time I didn't realize that I'd marry one of those soldiers!
Thanks for your faithful service and for showing true hospitality.
God bless, Natalie Briggs

Hey where did those little girls go? Wow, Jenna and Hope are so grown up! Time sure does fly. Your page looks great! Things are going well here in DC. I'm actually close to moving up to my next duty station (ITALY!). Yes, I know, I can't help it... I'M A LIFER!! Samantha is getting so big, she will be 3 in June. I miss all of you!

~Patrick!

Hi Natalie,
Of course I remember you! I remember when you saw the hills in Baumholder and thought they were mountains, then you went to Switzerland with us, right!! Those were mountains! Thanks for keeping in touch. What an encouragment to hear of you and your husband serving the Lord in the military. Maybe we'll serve together one day! Where will he take seminary classes? Are you still in TX? Do you ever hear from James Johnson? We've lost touch with him. It's great to hear from you!
In Christ,
Stacy

Hi Patrick,

Bro, send me some pictures of you and Samantha when you get a chance. Our family will wrap up our time here in Japan in September and then we'll spend some time in Maryland on home assignment. After that, it looks like we'll be starting a new hospitality ministry near Pearl Harbor. Lots of ministry potential in that community so please keep us in your prayers. We miss you my friend.

Hello Paul,
I just wanted to check in with you and see how everything is going. One of the reasons I wanted to leave a message here is that I sent you an e-mail concerning Evangelism on the first of this Month aboard ship and I have recieved no reply. I do not know how busy that you have been, but I had some serious questions that I trust you (as my Pastor and my friend) to be able to advise me on.

I will definately keep your transition to Hawaii in prayer. I hope that I may be able to intern with you; but if not I will see if I can intern in Yokosuka. I kind of miss the place, it has many good memories.

Anyway, I hope everything is going well with you. Please give my best to Stacy, Hope, Jenna, and Gracie.

Hi Sean,
I did respond to your email and thought it strange that you never got back to me. I'll dig it up and send it out to you again. I hope all is well with you - you're missed!

Paul

Good site! I found lots of intresting things here. Nice site! Very useful. I will be back!

Great site! Lots of nice photos. It is a privilidge to partner with you in prayer. Thanks for keeping us updated. Looking forward to seeing you in MD again.

Thank you Diane! We hope to be back in Maryland the first week of October assuming everything falls into place. Thank you for your prayers! Enjoy your summer.

To Kelly Vidaurri,
I hope you check this site again! I saw your message and read it and then didn't have time to respond right then. I came back to this page and now I don't see your message. Did you delete it? I do want to keep it touch. I have been thinking about the people that I know in Ft. Hood and getting you connected with them and their churches. Please write back!
Stacy

Hello Cassidy's!

How in the world are you guys? In the past month God has kicked me into overdrive to pray for you every day! It is awesome because I don't have a clue what's up but I have been called out to pray for your marriage and your children and that God would bless and keep you close to His heart, and that excites me!

There is so much going on in your world that limits your responses to all emails, so I want to be as brief as possible and I want to encourage your family as you are headed back to the US!

But first, I want to catch you up on our world in Rockwall,Texas. As you may not know, Meredith and I are due in a little less than two months with, are you ready......number 7! Yes, we're told every day that we need a larger television, but we don't watch tv and we love each and every one of our precious kids!

Last year, we delivered twins, Katy and Ellie! After a long and difficult pregnancy, we lost Katy due to complications in her digestive tract. We bounced back though, and God has brought us, yet another wonderful miracle! Oh yeah, Ellie is doing very well at 17 months and is running all over the house!

Meredith just walked in from a doctors appt. and all is well! Since we are haviing a c-section we can set our date of delivery when ever we want between Oct. 26 and early Nov.. So we are looking at Nov. 1st!

We are still in Rockwall and I am landscaping as jobs come up! It is amazing to see God faithfully providing for our needs as He sees, not when we think we need it! Contentment is a powerful tool that God uses in our lives to bring us into His presence daily!

I started a small men's group last month with 6 other guys and it has brought back many wonderful memories of CMM which began just about 15 years ago! Wow, how time flys! Thank you Paul for your leadership and willingness to allow God to shape my life mightily through CMM!

Also, I have been given the opportunity of speaking at several youth events in October that keeps me continually running the course with zeal and steadfastness. I look forward to God working there! Paul, I look forward to us getting together some day to rejoice in all that God has done!

PLease email us continued prayer updates for you and the kids at your convenience.

God bless you both in your upcoming travel back to the States and we look forward to visiting with you all real soon!!!

Love,

Phil, Meredith and Family

Hi, Stacy!
   We're the former missionaries to Morocco from Calary Church who stayed at your place one summer. I noticed on our bulletin board that you're returning to the US (next month?). Will you be living on the East Coast now? I assume that address given is your new home. We wish you were coming back here! But I guess you'll be visiting your parents off and on?
   I remember your great scrapbook albums and wonder now if they were Creative Memories because I've become a Creative Memories Consultant. It's been great for getting my albums done (I've made about 30 large and small over the past 2 1/2 years). I also get a 30% discount, and lots of free product and encouragement! If you did CM or are interested in getting CM products, I wanted to let you know that you can order direct ship through my website. It will also catch you up on what I've been doing (under Karen's Chronicle). I like your website! Mine is:
www.mycmsite.com/karenmartin. Take care!

In Him,

Karen

Oh...I just wondered if I can only get your reply through this website after scrolling down? You can write to me directly at creative.karen@sbcglobal.net. Thanks again. Karen

Dear Phil and Meredith,
What a blessing to receive this recent message from you! I just checked the message board and was delighted to read your update. We are so sorry that one of your precious children was taken so early in life but we thank God that Katy is now rejoicing in His presence and that one day you'll all be reunited. Phil, I would LOVE to talk with you over the phone so please send me your number at our email address: pscadence@gmail.com

We will keep you in our prayers and can't wait to see you during our home assignment! Keep pressing on in the faith.

In His Grace,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Just a note to thank you for the impact you had on my son Blake Covic while you were at the Lighthouse. I know he is going to miss you and was vey glad to get back from summer cruise so he could tell you goodbye in person. He always talked as though your daughters were like sisters to him. The way he talked about you and your family I know you had a big impact on his life through the Lord. I hope there is a place like the Lighthouse the he can get involved in at his new duty Station. He is trying to get stationed in San Diego and one of the deltailers in trying to get him orders to the USS Nimitz based out of San Diego. Please keep this in your prayers that the doors will open for where the Lord wants him to be. May God richly bless you and your family as you move to what ever God has for you next.

Love in Christ,

Rick Covic
Father of AO3 Blake Covic Stationed on the Kitty Hawk.

Dear Rick,

Thank you for your kind words and for your prayerful support. It was a pleasure having Blake at the Lighthouse each week and I was thankful to get to see him once again before we left Japan. Blake is a fine young man and he has grown in his faith during the time I've known him. I pray that his orders will be approved and that he will find another strong singles ministry to plug into at his next duty station. Thank you for writing, much appreciated!

Hi guys. We just checked out the pictures and love the new house. It's not quite the large place you had here in Japan. :) We continue to pray for you and we want you to know that we miss you. We feel cheated that we only had 3 months together. Derek misses the girls very much. Spent the weekend with the Youth at Camp Y (Send) and met the Cadence couple from Yokota. It was a great weekend and we all went. You certainly are still appreciated in our lives.

Edited by author 11-06-2007 09:50 AM
Hey Bill!

We miss your family as well and we thank the Lord for your friendship. It's nice being back in the States near family once again but we sure miss all of you and wish that you were not so far away. Please stay in touch with us in the months ahead and le us know how we can be praying for you. By the way, I listened to your lessons online, you're a great teacher Bill! Remember what I said about Cadence, o.k.!?

Hey Guys! Welcome Home! Your house looks so cute and cozy. Maddie was looking at the pictures with me and she loved the girl's rooms. We are doing some mission projects with her and we have been praying for you guys. It was fun to see her look at your pictures and then our wedding pictures when the girls were flower girls. You have a beautiful family! We love you!

HI Allison!
Thanks for your note. It's great to know that our family is praying for us. We hope to be in TX in the Spring and look forward to seeing you then. I can't wait to meet Maddie!! I hope you are feeling better, too.
Love you,
Stacy

Hi Paul,

I thought you would like an update on Blake and his orders. He will be transferring from the Kitty Hawk to the Nimitz in April. His leaves the Kitty Hawk on March 10th and he reports to the Nimitz on April 12th. He will be home for Christmas and then again in March when he is between the Kitty Hawk and the Nimitz. Thank you again for everything you did for Blake while you were at the Lighthouse.

In Christ,

Rick Covic

Stacy,
  I was just looking through these messages and noticed you had sent a note to a Kelly V. about hooking her up with folks at Fort Hood. I don't know if she responded back to you but Jared and I are in the Fort Hood area and know some great churches to recommend. There are two Cadence families out here too. We'd also love to meet her. Let me know if we can help in any way.
Thanks, Natalie Briggs

Hi Natalie!
Thanks for your note! We are hoping to be in the Ft. Hood area in the spring or early summer. If I hear back from Kelly, I'll direct her your way. We look forward to our TX visit and we'll look forward to seeing you again and meeting Jared! Happy Thanksgiving!
Love,
Stacy

Hi Paul & Stacy & girls,

Welcome back to the States! Brad & I (and girls) would love to see you all sometime while you're in Maryland. Maybe after the holidays?...Our place is just west of Manassas and we'd love to have you over to our place. But we haven't explored your part of the area so that might be a nice adventure for us to come out that way - whichever works! Enjoy your Christmas and spending time w/family!

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
Please send us your phone number at pscadence@gmail.com Would LOVE to see you after the holidays

Hey ya'll. It's Chris Struk. I hope ya'll are doing good. We really miss ya'll at the Lighthouse. Bruce and Miho are really nice people. We also recently got a letter to the Lighthouse family from Rebecca Hagar. I hope that we will be able to meet again sometime. Maybe sometime I will come to see ya'll when ya'll are in Hawaii. E-mail me sometime at lightning_struk@yahoo.com. Hope to talk and see ya'll soon.

Hello! Greetings in Christ Jesus! I have been through all the greetings the apostles gave to each other (again, I love to do t his) and it is so uplifting to greet each other in this way! Blessings to you. Stacy, Happy belated birthday, many hugs are in this!
We are rejoicing in my brother in law's return from Iraq after 6 months away. Chuck was on the Comfort for 4 months(June-Oct) and returned ill but has recovered and we are so grateful. Katie is applying to college, Kevin has JV soccer tryouts today. Chuck's mom has had a recurrence of lymphoma and I am off to NC today for her chemo treatment and then going to Fla. to be with my mom during my dad's upcoming heart procedure. But I feel calm and much protection over all. I am grateful to be in the states at this time to help them. Kiss the girls for me and remind them Miss Marcia still prays for them. XOXOX IN CHRIST, Marcia and Co.

Chris,
Thank you for stopping by my brother! We miss all of you so much and we think of you often. Please let us know how we can be praying for you and send us a more detailed update if possible - pscadence@gmail.com.

Have a wonderful Spring! In His Grace, Paul

Marcia,

Thank you for the short update on your family. We are so thankful for your continued support and prayers for our family and ministry. It sounds like you have been going through some difficult trials with family health issues and I pray that God will sustain and encourage you through His Word and by His Spirit. The Lord bless you in 2008.

In His Grace, Paul

Wow! Sounds like the girls had an amazing trip. What a great Blog that Hope wrote. It was fun to look through all of your pictures. I loved seeing the cabin in Winter Park. I have some great memories from up there. Maddie looked at them with me. She wanted to invite Hope and Jenna to come play with her this afternoon. I had to explain to her how far away you are. Anyway, we love you and miss yoU!

Wow Mom and Dad!
 This is a great blog! I am really, really, really glad to be your daughter!I love you!
  Hope

Thank you, Hope! ;-) We love you and Jenna sooooooo much!!!

Paul,
What a blessing to hear from you! I have your contact information and plan to send you an email. We pray that all is well with you my friend. Talk to you soon.

Paul C

Hey Paul and Stacy it has been a while and I am so glad that I was able to find you wow you girls are growing so fast I am feeling old lol. Jenna I remember when you were about 3 years old I believe and you called for your mom and dad they did rock paper and scissors and you caught them lol. Well I hope to hear from you again God bless

Hi TJ,

We received your answering machine message yesterday as well. What a surprise to hear from you after all these years! We look forward to talking with you on the phone to hear more about all that the Lord is doing in your life.

In His Grace, Paul

I am sorry to interrupt your post, but I have been searching every where for my past middle school ministers, Phil and Meredith Skrabanek. I feel very motivated to talk to them. As they had one of the most powerful influences in my life. If there is anyway you could reach out to them and let them know, or reach out to me and let me know, I would REALLY appreacite that.

My e-mail is OliviaAterry@yahoo.com

I was in their middle school youth group and home study when they taught at McKinney Fellowship, and I just really would love to talk to them and let them know thank you for all of the things they did for me.

Any help would be SO appreciated. Thank you so much.

Micki,

Thank you for your kind words and prayerful support. We have added you to our prayer update list and plan to stay in touch with you in the weeks and months ahead. The Lord bless you richly.

 Hi there!
So glad to hear that God is bringing everything together for you!
Milt and I are sorry that we did not have an opportunity to talk to you more about your ministry and FCC's Support Our Troops. I had some medical issues shortly after we met you at church and am just finally pretty much back to normal! We are only mailing to 2 deployed servicemen right now, but expect our numbers to increase this fall.
We will be in Hawaii next week (Honolulu). Milt is a consultant for an asphalt company there, so this will be our 4th trip over the past 2 years. There is a very good possibility that we will be able to visit you there at some point in the future.
God bless you and your family as you continue to serve Him.

Hi Joan,
Thank you so much for your note of encouragement. We love your ministry at FCC! We have heard first-hand from our friends that we send packages to that receiving mail really lifts spirits. May God bless you! Please let us know when you are in Honolulu after we get there.
In His Grace,
Stacy Cassidy

hi stacy! just thinking of you and wanted to say hello! :)

Hi there, just checked out your site. It's great! We'd love to get our hands on some Puritan prayers and poetry!!! We like John Piper as well. : ) I was wondering if you guys had any of Paul's sermons online???
I'd LOVE to listen to some : )
God bless.

Aloha Erin,

Thank you for visiting. I think there is a message or two online at some churches I recently preached at in the Portland area. I'll check to see if I can find a link. Blessings on you and your family.

Paul

Glad to hear you made it safely! We've been praying for you as you make another transition. We'll look forward to more updates.

Hey guys, so glad to hear you're finally settled in hawaii. I hope you are enjoying God's beautiful views and surroundings. We just got our orders for Mayport, FL. We are supposed to report there by the 20th of Dec. It's exciting. God has blessed us with 4 more yrs on the east coast so we can share our baby with the grandparents and Great GP's. I wanted to also tell you I shared your website and e-mail with a couple here in Glen Burnie, MD who will be moving to Pearl Harbor by next year sometime maybe in the spring. Their names are Erik & Alex and they have 4 girls(1 is still in the belly, but due soon). I hope you guys get to meet them. They are a wonderful family. Neways, hope all is well. We will keep you updated on the baby and what gender it is when we find out. Love ya'll, In Christ, Annie & Nate

Stacy, Anna and kiddos,
Thanks for checking in! We are doing very well, just started school (much to my kids' disappointment!) and excited about God's movement in our lives. He is good and full of grace and mercy. Keep in touch. We love to hear how you are doing too! Your gift of flowers a few months ago really blessed us. Thanks for letting us participate in your 10th anniversary.
Love,
Stacy
p.s. I wrote this same post, but put it from Kooistra Family. Oops!

Nathan, Annie & Baby #1!
Thanks for your sweet note. I can't believe that you'll be moving on to Florida. That's great. I hope your move goes well and you find a church quickly. Annie, this will be your first big move with the Navy! Have a great fall - enjoy the fall colors before you move to the warm weather!
Blessings to you all! Let us know about your baby!
Love,
Stacy

Are you shopping at Safeway yet (at the bottom of your road). I just want you to remember, as you shop, that that is where Mikyla learned to walk and talk. Safeway was our "big" outing! Windward mall later. You are in our old stomping grounds. Can't wait to see you soon!
XXOO

Erin,

I found the link that you requested to a recent sermon that I preached in Oregon. Here it is: http://www.cbchurchsr.org/?cat=3 The message was entitled "Faith in the Fire". Blessings on you and your family.

Barbara,

Wonderful to hear from you! We have indeed been to the Safeway down the street and emptied out our entire savings account buying groceries ;-) Food is soooo expensive here! We've also enjoyed a meal at 'Sumo Ramen' in the same parking lot. Their food is very similar to CoCo's there in Yokosuka with lots of curry dishes. Anyway, we are really enjoying our time here in Kaneohe and we thank the Lord for the generosity of so many individuals that have made our transition possible. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Hi Cassidy's,

Boy 11 years sure does go bye fast! Stac, I still have your book "Knowledge of the Holy." Happy to see you guys doing so well

Wow, Michael! A blast from the past!! Where are you right now and what are you up to? You can send an email to pscadence@gmail.com and I'll add you to our address book. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Great pictures Paul!!! Still can't believe you guys are in Hawaii. Im jelous! "lol"

Zorian,

Our chapel needs a worship leader immediately! How about you moving your family again...eh?? We miss yu all very much and hope to Skype with you soon.

tapasac

Um, ok...not sure what that meant but...thanks for visiting ;-)

love ya, miss ya, and God is awesome!

Thanks for checking in! We are so excited! Hang in there with school! :) I understand! We miss you too! Love,Stacy

Hey Paul I hope that you and the family are enjoying yourselves in Hawaii I am sure that you are happy to be back in the ministry again. I was in Rota, Spain last month and I was able to go to the house out there once. I was in Sao Tome Africa before that for two months. I am now working out of a clinic in Kuwait not too bad money is good out here. I have been bouncing around the world on this deployment with the Seabees. I miss you guys and how much fun we had in Japan. I hope that someday I will be able to come and see you guys in Hawaii and make some BBQ. Be blessed and I hope to talk to you soon. John

John,

Thank you so much for the update! We pray that your time in Kuwait will be fruitful, both financially and spiritually. Please send me your personal email address when you have a chance. We are getting settled in our new ministry home and hope to have our dedication the first week of January. Until then, we will stay involved with base ministries. Thank you for your prayers!

In His Grace, Paul

Paul, Stacy, Hope, Jenna...
We sure miss you guys in Maryland, but I'm sure that you are right where the Lord wants you!! Not quite heaven on earth, but as far as I'm concerned, they have the same zip code.... So, where did the "house" end up? We're not supposed to be jealous, but all these pictures are making it very difficult. We are absolutely looking forward to a visit out to see you guys, but haven't talked my boss (the govt) into funding it yet. Have you had a chance to make contact with the Turansky's out in Mililani yet?

Aloha Phil,

Our new ministry home is in Aiea, way up on the hillside so there's usually a nice breeze. We are able see Pearl Harbor from our living room. Rent in this area is fairly high so please pray that the Lord will provide local financial support through the military soon. Our ministry dedication is scheduled for the first week of January but I'm already meeting with a few sailors during the week for discipleship. God is good. Thank you for your prayers and please do come for a visit when you are able. In His Grace, Paul

Hey Paul I hope that you had a great thanksgiving I miss doing the fried turkey on your patio in Japan. Anyway my email is docedstrom@gmail.com please send me an email anytime you like. One thing I do have a ton of out here besides sand is time. Talk to you later John

Aloha John,

I just sent you an email so write to me after you get it. The Lord bless you my friend.

Hi guys! This is the first time I've been able to post a comment. The new photos on your site are great - you all look beautiful and joyful. My only complaint is the weather thing on the side telling me that it's currently 80 degrees - that is envy-inducing :) Say hi to your girls. We miss you all. Love, the Moores

Paul I love the video of Shane and Shane. Miss you guys!!!

Z...thank you for the Christmas picture! We posted it in our kitchen. We miss you guys too!

Lisa, how are you and your family doing? Have you moved to your new home yet? We can't wait to see your new home during our next visit. Have a wonderful Christmas.

btw - Yes, the weather is very nice here!!

Happy New Year everyone! May the Lord use His people in 2009 like never before to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to a lost world.

Paul, are you switching over to the ESV from the NASB? I see that is your reading material now. Im really enjoying the NASB. Great recommendation on your part!

Z Man,
My wife gave me an ESV Study Bible for our anniversary and I really enjoy the way it reads. Still, I will continue to preach from the NASB and continue with my 2009 read-through in the NASB as well. Both are solid versions.

HI guys! I just happened to stop in & am happy to see the news & pix of the dedication yesterday. Amy is in Thailand! Are you on facebook? Have I already asked you that? :-) We will be moving to San Diego next December, it looks like, so I am thinking that is close to Hawaii, so Carrie might get her trip to visit after all (and the rest of us with her!). It would sure be great to see you. Anyway, Happy New Year!

Rejoicing with you in God's goodness to you as so many joined you for the Dedication of Home Port last Friday night. You were and are in our prayers for the ongoing needs you wrote about.

With our love and hope we have in Christ,

Paul and Beryl

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.
