Summer Conference this year - July 20-25

WELCOME TO WINONA LAKE.....





What a wonderful week we had at the Friends of Israel Prophecy Conference in Winona Lake, Indiana. Don and Brenda went with us, which made it such a GREAT week. We met at 8:30am Sunday morning at the expressway ramp, and on our way to Winona Lake, stopped at Calvary Church in Grand Rapids and met Nick and Sharon Nicholas there. Sunday night began a great week of speakers....Steve Herzig, Andy Ferrier, David Larsen, Jim Showers, Doug Bookman, David Levy, a "Stand with Israel" night, and concert with Diane Susek on Tuesday night. We are still processing all that we heard during the week!


Beautiful lake and sunset at Winona Lake....






We had fun walking around Winona Lake where Bob went to seminary, see the home where he lived for 2 years, seminary buildings, and the International Friendship House where we stayed Bob's senior year.
Brenda and I had a great time at the Amish Acres while Bob and Don golfed on Tuesday afternoon.


Then it was off to Chicago.....


Thursday and Friday we attended the "Grace Conference" at Quinten Road Baptist Church for Pastor's and wives. We had a great time seeing friends, being with Simersons and Stauffers, and hearing great speakers....such as Dr. Robert Lightner, Dr. Larry Moyer, Dr. James Scudder and attending a lot of workshops. The "Dayspring Bible College" is a part of this church, and their musical group sang, and they also had their "Culinary Arts" students put on HUGE meals for us!



They have 6 pianists playing the piano's at all services, and a great band. Their 50 voice choir also sang.
