She gives him his pacifier and is an all-around aspiring little mommy complete with the bossy commands to each of her siblings if parents aren’t present. She turned 2 in October and loves making six-month-old Peter laugh. I know we have already noted the arrival of our youngest, Peter, but each of our children are just an amazing gift from God that we treasure.

The move has gone far better than I could have dreamed and we are enjoying getting settled in to a new routine and focus. We have been blessed to get to know many of the congregants over the last number of years as many of them attended Family Conferences that I organized. However, after much prayer and consideration, we saw the Lord’s hand leading us to make the move to Fort Worth and begin pastoral ministry. When I initially received a phone call from one of the men of Fairpark Baptist Church, I declined showing any interest in pastoring. The most fruitful life is one that is completely surrendered to the Lord. Since my little sister passed away, my desire to make our lives count for eternity has intensified. Call to Fairpark Baptist Church Pastoral Ministry It is amazing to think that I have been in conference ministry for the past 13 years. It was quite a different year, but blessed on every account. In addition to all of the wonderful family events, we were able to travel as a family to host a few Family Conferences, and a handful of Family Connections this year. Also in July, my younger sister married Graeme Wolf. We were so blessed to be able to be a part of that wedding. ![]() In July, Priscilla’s younger brother, Nathan married Nurie Rodrigues. Priscilla’s younger sister, Susanna married York Bridges and we were so blessed to be there for the celebration in February.

We chose David as his middle name because I am the fifth born of my family and he is also our fifth born. We chose the name Peter because Jesus’ disciple, Peter, was quick to recognize and proclaim the title that Jesus deserved–“Thou art the Christ!” Jesus turned to Peter, and said, “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matt.

We were able to join the Shrader Family in their regular ministry and mission work and support their effort to reach the people of Africa with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. After 36 hours of travel, we arrived in Zambia, Africa for a two week family visit. Priscilla’s two brothers, Nathan and David, also were able to travel with us. In late January our family embarked on an adventure of a life-time taking a trip to the continent of Africa to visit Priscilla’s oldest sister, Esther and her husband John, along with their twelve children.

We also have experienced an outpouring of love and support by so many. I miss her so much! We are a very close family and her loss has been and will continue to be deeply felt by all. She was my secretary and helped run many conferences from little known capacities behind the scenes. Over the past several years, Rebecca and I shared many happy memories of ministry together. The instant her car was struck, she passed from earth to heaven and is in the presence of the Lord. She is in heaven today, not because she was a good person, but because she trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal savior. The most important thing is a relationship with Jesus Christ that Rebecca evidenced by the fruit of her life. The twenty-two years of life that God gave us with her seem so short, but in light of eternity all of our lives are short. My sister, Rebecca, went home to heaven, October 2, at around 8:30am. ![]() 2 nd will forever live in my memory as a day of great loss. ![]()
