Good News Utah






Good News Utah

Dave and I have been here in central Utah for nearly two and a half years. We came to be near our kids and grandkids. It has been a big change but a wonderful adventure.
 There is a ministry here that started in Ephraim 25 years ago where there was no Christian Church. Check out www.Trigrace.org. Our son Ned and his wife Sarah met as interns for Trigrace and served as missionaries to the Snow College students. Ned invited us to move out here, found us a great apartment and actually moved us here. What a great son and follower of Jesus he is! He is currently living and working up north with his family but we see them every couple of weeks.

So the good news is that the gospel is going forth in Utah even though it is overwhelmingly Mormon influenced. There is a lot of need for laborers in this harvest field. Please pray about coming or sending laborers.

We had a great visit this week from old friends, Ross and Wendy Grobe, who I have known for nearly 48 years since we were on the Evangelistic Team together in Weott CA and traveled up and down the West coast and across country twice setting captives free with the Good news of Jesus Christ. Many of you may have heard of the Jesus Movement that hit the west coast in the early 70's. The Grobes and I were in Gospel Outreach out of northern CA which sent out teams to establish churches in Central America and Eurpe. I lived in Munich Germany with the team there for 2.5 years just before I came home for my Dad's illness. That's when I met Dave and Boston and surrounds became our mission field and where we raised our 3 sons.

So we did not see much of the Grobes as they were in San Diego, in fact Dave and Ross had never met until this week but we all had a great time catching up and exploring the Manti-Lasal Forest in an ATV they rented.
