Mike, Patty and Joseph Kezele

Mike and I got home Wednesday morning from Watertown, NY (there was an unexpected overnight in Detroit) and left early Thursday morning for Phoenix, AZ. We are often asked, “Don’t you get tired by traveling so much?” Of course our answer has to be “Yes”. But the Lord is good and all it takes is one good night of sleep and we are ready to go full steam ahead. This is one of Mike’s favorite places to be in August. I must really love him because I agree to come to AZ in August year after year. Mike runs in the afternoon in the 105 degree weather. I have the opinion that Mike was made just a bit different than most – he loves very hot weather and very hot peppers.

 We are staying with Joseph and Patty Kezele. We have lost count of how many times we have stayed at their home. We feel like they are our family. Thanks Joseph and Patty for your love for us and our Creator.

Christian Teacher Training at Palmcroft Baptist

Today, Sat. Aug. 13, Mike is teaching another Christian Teacher Training class at Palmcroft Baptist Church in Phoenix. We were blessed to hear that one of the students who has attended the class 4 times here in Arizona, has also taught it. That is the way we want it to work. Thank you Jim Futch for your faithfulness.

Our Future Speakers

There are 4 young men taking the class – that makes my heart swell. They range in age from high school to young adult – may God allow them each to be able to teach thousands this truth. At the other end of the spectrum is one of my favorite people in the whole world, Jim Coleman. Jim has already shared with thousands of people. He and  his wife, Myrtle, live down the street from Arizona State U in Tempe. He has gone down close to the campus in the evenings hundreds of times in his wheel chair. He engages as many students and homeless as the Lord allows. They live a modest life so they can give to those in need. Jim and Myrtle are heroes of the faith!
