Our Life Together Vol. 3, Nr. 30 July 29, 1975 Part 2
This is one of those humbling letters where one is struck with how God uses ordinary people. I am not playing down the ministry of Clay or the McCullochs. But, looking back I see all of us as just people who wanted to be servants of God. Here this Vicar describes this visit of our team as one of the most significant events in the life of the church. Wow! I am always amazed by these letters. I am very proud to have been a part of this. We received their newsletter at least until I left FBC in 2005. They may still be receiving it. This is another of those "wow" letters. These are really worthwhile reading. Something very real was happening in Chula Vista in those days. It was recognized throughout much of the world and was unfortunately missed by many of our close neighbors. Then there is this letter by a seminary professor! Again, look at the impact of our corporate ministry -- and yes the ministry of Ken Pagaard. Ken was also a major part of the ministry at the Catholic Charismatic conference.
I am a semi-retired minister. I am currently pastoring Bay View Baptist Church in Chula Vista, CA. I was the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Chula Vista for 25 years. I started my adult life as a Naval Officer. I served for 15 years and left with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. I hope to share what is happening in my life and the lives of my family. I will also try to relate this to broader issues in our world.
