Over the past few days we have received some wonderful and encouraging letters from

a couple of old friends and a new friend that we would like to share with you...

 

Hello Pastor Steve,

Hopefully you will remember me.  My name when you knew me from Eagles Nest back in 1983 or so was Jenny Walton.  Single mom, with a son.  I was involved a bit with Single Event.  The Single event group gathered at your apartment for Bible Studies and a couple of times at my apartment.  I remember when you took the correspondence course to become an A/G pastor.  I think it was a two year course and you completed it in 7 months.  Am I right about that?

It was by accident that I found you this morning.  Your wife is beautiful and you have four sons.  Praise God!  My son Justin in now 31 or will be in July.  He’s a glass blower.  Our daughter  (Emily) is 19. My husband (Allan) and I have a theater/speaking ministry. I was gathering information on churches to send our information to when I came across your name and church.  I’m including in this email a bit about our ministry.  Please click into our web site for more information.  I’d love to hear from you!

Community Bible Church Family,

  Pastor Steve and all of Our Family in Alameda,

Well let me catch you all up on us here in Alabama, we
have been blessed over and over and over again.  God
is so wonderful and truly does bless in his own time
there were times I have to admit I was wondering when
his time was going to come but we have to keep our
faith.  He knows when in it time and will provide all
in his own way for his glory.  GOD IS SO AWESOME!!!

1.  I found a job with a Christian Based franchise.
I gave them a modest range for my starting salary
which they met me in the middle 28000/yr, but agreed
that within 6 months salary would be at my top range
of 30000/yr.

2.  I was making 30000/year and after 8 months working
for the company the vice president called me to his
office and offered me a position of assistant store
manager at a brand new store with another increase in
pay up to 35000/yr. So in 9 months my pay increased
$7000.

3.  Another house that our landlord had came available
and we moved.  the new house is 1400 sq ft on 2 acres
of land and has a mother in law cottage in the back
yard.  The landlord has agreed with us to sell us the
house for appraised amount value which will save us
about $35000.  We are working on credit issues and
will hopefully be in a position to buy the house by
next summer in the interim we are rent it for
650/month which is about $400 below current rental
market.

4.  Elise just finished her first certification for
the same company and will be getting a $2/hr raise.

5.  We are all healthy and the girls are growing and
doing just great. I will get you all some new photos
of us.  

  Well I will close with this.  CBC is still a part of
our FAMILY and always will you are all in our prayers
and thoughts.

  KEEP THE FAITH, STAY THE COURSE, LIVE THE DREAM
and BE BLESSED BY GOD!!!  Always FOLLOW YOUR HEART!!!!

 The Kaiser Family,
David, Elise, Cat, Izzy & Nana boo

Pastor Steve, so nice to be a part of the service today, we enjoyed the message and pushing the envelope of faith. We want to hear the voice of the Lord clearly and obey, to walk in his ways and paths and please him with our lives, this is beginning to sound like a sermon,,, but thats my prayer, anyway I believe the church body needs to move in the spirit continually and that sparks faith and the miraculous like today.  When the body is not challenged, church becomes  mundane and a duty rather than a joy and that still quiet voice of the Lord that we once  heard so clearly is ignored more and more until it is seldom heard. I am so touched that you let two strangers come in and be a part of your service today and we hope to see you soon.  God bless     Dave and Tracie J.
