Thank You Garland Street For Your Support

In September 1973 I meet a young lady from Plainview, Texas. Her name was Donna Wood. In meeting Donna I also came to know the people at the Garland Street congregation in Plainview. Over the next 40 years they have been family to us. In all that Donna and I have done in ministry they have always been there with support and encouragement. When I think of Plainview many names come to my mind quickly, to make a list it would be long.
In January of 2005 when we wanted to move full-time with the mission in Nicaragua we needed a home for the mission. Who better to turn to than family? And in March of 2005 they assumed the oversight of the mission. Without that support and encouragement and God’s blessings over the last 8 years the mission could not have grown to Quick read more or view full article where we are today. Every time we have had a need they have been there for us.
Over the last six years the Grapevine congregation in Grapevine, TX has continued to expand their partnership with the mission. That partnership came to a point that the first of this year discussion started about the possibility of Grapevine Elders and Mission Committee assuming the oversight of the mission. In February Bob Burkle, one the Elders at Grapevine, was in Nicaragua. In March I visited with the Elders in Plainview and with JW Hamby that Grapevine had the interest in assuming the oversight. Over the last two month that discussion has continued and the decision has been made that Grapevine will assume that responsibility as of August 1, 2013.
It is always hard to single out specific people when so many have done so much for us. But we must express a very special thanks to JW Hamby, Becky Watson and Beverly McDonald who have had the most direct contact with us throughout the eight year. JW serves as the mission chairman, when he came to Nicaragua I always introduced him as our boss, and Beverly was the one responsible to deposit, notify those that had given and provide us with deposit reports, almost weekly. And Becky was always working to keep our accounts balanced and money distributed.
Donna and I can never express fully our love and appreciation for the support that Garland Street has been not only over the last 8 years but throughout our 38 years of marriage and ministry. They are family and always will be.
New mailing address for the mission: 535 N Park Blvd, Grapevine, TX 76501.
