Pastor Randy Pollard and his wife Joan with Lesley and Mike
We flew to Sacramento, CA on Thursday, March 22nd and met Pastor Randy Pollard and his wife, Joan. That started a wonderful adventure where we have met many godly, commited Christians. Some have invited us into their homes for meals and great fellowship. On Friday morning we had a wonderful breakfast with Richard and Andrea Oren. They had recently returned from a trip to Jordan to participate in a dig in what is believed to be ancient Sodom. We had a facinating conversation about their trip. Then Mike spoke at Forest Lake Christian School in Auburn, CA. He challenged the high school students to stand firmly on the truth of the Bible from the very first verse.

Next, we went to a home of a very special couple who have adopted 21 handicapped children over the last 28 years. Those precious ones have been cared for and loved in a way that reflects God’s love. Some had conditions that resulted in very short lives and some of them are adults now. Paul and Dale Loos are in their 70s and still have 8 living in their home. What a blessing to meet a couple who accepted the challenge that God gave them and will continue to serve as long as God gives them life.

On Saturday morning Mike taught a 4 hour teacher training class at Sierra Baptist and then we went to the home of Andre and Sabrina Alves for a great meal and even greater fellowship. They actually loaned us one of their cars so that we could get to all the events on time. Thanks so much, Andre and Sabrina.

Sunday and Monday, Mike gave 5 presentations at Sierra Baptist. The attendance was great and the people ready to receive all the hours of information. We pray that God will continue to bless Sierra Baptist Church. We enjoyed staying with Pastor Randy and Joan and the many meals we shared.
