Placerville Christian School

Placerville Christian School has been a faithful prayer partner since our kids, Michael and Melissa, attended 2nd and 4th grade there during the 1992-3 school year and has been part of our financial support team since Joyce taught there during our furlough year 2001-2. Thus, we enjoyed seeing many friends when we spoke there Wednesday and Thursday. We spoke to the 4th-8th grade chapel on Wednesday afternoon and to the K-3rd grade chapel in Thursday morning. On Wednesday Joyce and I were joined by Michael and Samantha, Happiness Lodge and our Guam campus director Steve Stinnette to share with the older kids about ministry in Micronesia. The next morning, Steve had already left to go back to the East Coast, the person all the students wanted to see joined us, Titus Owen. The PCS students all know him because my mom and dad have been making regular appearances at the PCS chapels to tell the Bible story and, of course, the share many pictures of Titus. He amazed everyone with his loud cries of happiness throughout the program. Joyce was amazed at how big her 1st graders from back then have become.
We are so thankful for Placerville Christian School. The school itself supports and, in addition, a couple of the classes take regular offerings to support our ministry monthly. We also get regular updates from the 3rd grade class about what they are doing and reminders that they pray regularly for us. It is really wonderful to be part of a school that has such a heart for missions and teaches its students, even the youngest ones, that everyone has a part to play in discipling the world for Christ. Thank you PCS!!!
We (Joyce and I) will be speaking tonight at the Gold Country Baptist Church root beer float social about "marriage and ministry." Tomorrow Dave will be speaking at the BUM (building up men) conference. Sunday the whole gang will be up at Camino Community Church (pastored by Steve and Angela Leuice former co-workers in Micronesia). If you are in the neighborhood we would love to see you.
