Update - January

Well, as many of you already know, a lot has happened in the life of Pastor Pat the last couple of months. Of great note is my engagement to a most wonderful woman, Pamela, whom God graciously brought into my life a few months ago. To love and be loved is nothing short of a miracle at any age! Since my first wife, Joyce, was taken to heaven in July of '07 I've often wondered, pondered and prayed about what it would be like to love again. Shortly after meeting Pam it was clear a beautiful bond was forming between us and that bond will be sealed by our vows to one another May 1st! 106 days, 23 hours, and 3 minutes from right now! :-)



Pam is presently stationed in 29 Palms and is a Dr. serving in the US Navy. I'll be moving up to Yucca Valley after the wedding for a couple of months until her transfer to San Diego where she will finish out the final 2 years of a 20 year career. Needless to say, there are many changes and challenges ahead for both of us - but how good it will be to face them together with the Lord wrapped around us forming the 3-fold cord - Eccl. 4:12! Blessed be His Name!

Ministry wise, Shepherd's Staff continues to grow with the number of missionaries we are serving increasing by the week. Currently we have 108 missionaries either in the field or preparing to go. I Appreciate your prayer, not only for me and my work, but for all the amazing men and women I serve all around the world. Do check out the Shepherd's Staff web site and browse thru our missionary directory.

In His Arm's,

Pat Kenney
