Venturing into Black & White...


I got some black & white film so let me share a few with you.  I also have a story to tell at the end.  Here is Stephanie doing her thing with providing what we eat as much as we can.


Here is Evan and Andy respectively.  Evan is now 6 and a very studious boy and Andy is 4 and always creating something with his blocks that he wants you to see.

A little farther south and we have Joshua and Evelyn.  Joshua is a "get your hands dirty" kind of boy and Evelyn has made it to the "get into everything" stage.


A couple photos from church of our worship team at a practice getting ready for the next service and also our ever growing men's ministry at their 4th fall retreat.

Here is a great shot of a couple of brothers who get together for breakfast every Tuesday and Thursday.

The young lady in front of the window is our oldest, Anna, who is leading worship at a women's retreat in Texas.  We can't tell you how much it means to us that all of our children and their mates are serving the Lord.


We are going to need a bigger wall soon and there is Stephanie again boarding another mode of transportation to see some more of our precious ones.


The last picture is of a man named Jason.  I got permission to take his photo.  At the church we have many who seek out help as they are "passing through."  Jason was on his way back up to Minnesota from Florida.  He is a Veteran and served in Desert Storm as a cook.  After the tank was filled, we sat down at the local McDonald's for a burger and some conversation.  Jason wasn't to "up" on the world at the moment.  The restaurant was pretty quiet as I observed many were listening in on our conversation.  At one point he said to me very loudly, "It's a good thing you got Jesus."  I asked him to explain.  He said, "If we just had God, we would all be doomed but Jesus brings the love."  It wasn't the time for a theological discussion about the statement but it was a time to get this picture back at his car and spend some time praying for him and his travels.  Jason was an interruption in my day until I realized that I was a "Jesus" to him at the moment.  So here is another picture that will be on my desk wherever we go.  --Adam--
A simple man serving a great God and the local pastor of Stillwater Community Chapel (stillwater-chapel.org). We are in our 38th year of full time ministry. God directed us to this local body of believers on the Western Range of the Rockies to grow with them in mission and mindedness of Christ.

Galatians #15 - Galatians 6:11-18 - "On The Road Again..."

Image
  Another week closer and it involves some more travel for the Wolfgangs.  I feel like the Willy Nelson song, " On the road again... "  I don't know if I agree with the next line though. " ...I can't wait to get on the road again. " One of the members of the church in Wisconsin calculated that I will travel well over 10,000 miles to make this transition.  Traveling mercies prayers please. Last Sunday we will look at Paul's final words to the churches in Galatia.  He brought them the gospel (good news) message of Jesus and what resulted were churches forming throughout the region.  The letter is to defend that message that our salvation comes from and is in Christ alone.  Christ's sacrifice on the cross was sufficient for the forgiveness of our sins.  The summary statement of the letter is found in  Galatians 6:15 (LSB) .  " For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. "  Translated another way earlie...

  Berthoud Pass Here we are at the top of Berthoud Pass.  It was a whirlwind week to conduct a " hand off " service in Wisconsin on 3/17 and then preach a Palm Sunday sermon in Colorado on 3/24.  We give God all the glory for this happening.  So there are two video links at the bottom of this blog.  One is for the Wisconsin service and the other is for the Colorado service.  I racked up over 12,000 in the last 7 weeks.   I love to take these pictures sitting from the front row of chairs and listening to the one God has provided for the church I had been serving for 20 months.  I now have 3 and I am so thankful for the opportunity God gave us to serve Him in this type of ministry over the last 5 years.  It has been great to add to our daily prayer list Zach in Maine, Chris in Ohio and now Stephen in Wisconsin. This was our set up for the 2000+ mile trip.  No " hiccups " except for the strong eastern winds in Kansas.  Of course e...

Resurrection Sunday in a new space...Matthew 27.62-28.20

Image
  Resurrection Sunday has come and gone but it was a sweet day to be with the gathered saints of the Stillwater Community Chapel .  We are venturing through the Gospel of Matthew and this Sunday will take us back to Matthew 1.1 but last Sunday we were in Matthew 27.62-28.20.  It was a lot to cover so the white board was truly a help to keep me on track.  This year in my Resurrection Sunday message, I focused on the contrast of the cover-up story of the disciples stealing the body of Jesus fueled by a bride and the commission of speaking of a risen Lord fueled by boldness . After the service upstairs, we ventured downstairs to the lower level and had a great meal together.  The conversations around the tables allowed us to continue to talk about the passage of Scripture we covered upstairs.  Maybe this is a very informal picture of what happens at the  Waushara Community Church called the " Going Deeper " classes of the Come For More hour following t...
