Dear Pastor Jeff,
Happy Birthday! You don't look 50 at all! Thanks to those great Mary Kay secrets! (wink!) And to the 10 + year old question "YES the Cadillac is PINK!"
We as a family just want to use this opportunity to say THANK YOU to you and your WONDERFUL family and for letting God use you in such a powerful way! Over 10 years ago we were "down and almost out" after receiving the news that the doctor's would want to remove Phil's leg from injuries sustained on a mission's trip. Four surgeries and years of struggle with this our faith was shaken. We never have the TV on in the office but this particular evening we did. Low and behold a commercial appeared. We both looked at each other and said he is such a nice guy lets go there. We walked in the front door and Pastor Patsy greeted us! Thanks for picking such a great wife! We love her boldness and great encouragement. We told her of our deal and she immediately prayed by laying hands on his ankle. She told us to get to the Sunday night prayer meeting and have you and the pastors lay hands on him too. We came expecting God to heal him. You spoke words of faith, encouragement and healing not just for his leg but to our soul! The results defied medical science and the doctor confirmed that he had a miracle healing!
You have been there for our family though the years and challenges. You are stuck with our family as we have moved closer to church.
We are excited to see what God has ahead with our new church building! As you always say "Let us not stagger at the promises of God!" We know a new location with a bigger building means opportunity for more souls, more healing, more miracles, more people touch and inspired by God through your ministry! As Caleb said "we shall by all means possess the land"!
You are a blessing to us! Looking forward to another 50 years under your ministry!
Love & BIG TIME BELIEF in YOU and YOUR DREAMS!
Phil,Kim,Victoria,Joshua and Caleb
