 7.  Your thoughts on living in Kingman?  We don’t get to choose where we want to live. God sets the agenda of where and why. Wherever we have lived as a family, God has given us the want too and the love for the people as well as the place. Godliness with contentment is great gain. We love the deep relationships and friendships we have developed over the last sixteen years. We are prepared to live out the rest of our lives here and if God so chooses to die here.

8.  What do you enjoy most for refreshment?  Reading a good book, listening to great classical music and spending quality time with my family.

9.  Ministry involvement other than MBC:  God has given Cheri’ and I a love for Pastors and their wives, for ministry couples            and the unique tensions that come with those concerns. Recently we have had a remarkable opportunity to encourage missionary families overseas in a pastoral role. This is very encouraging and uplifting to us.
