Summer Update

Hi Folks!

It's time for another one of my frequent updates, lol. I recently flew back to San Diego from Dallas, TX where I accompanied my stepdaughter, Haley back to TCU (Texas Christian University) to help her move into her sorority house for the start of her sophomore year. A week ago, she and I were in Hong Kong, where we met up with my beautiful wife. The USS Reagan finally had another port stop after 79 days at sea. thankfully, her deployment is almost over and she should be home in just a few weeks.

The summer has really zipped by and I've been blessed with many opportunities to teach and minister the love of Jesus and His heart for the world, to churches, missions conferences, pastors conferences, small groups and a lot of missionaries. Presently I just finished representing the ministry of Shepherd's Staff Mission Facilitators at the annual Hawaii Pastors and Leaders conference in Honolulu. Today I flew over to Hilo on the big Island to spend time with Ron Brav, the pastor of CC Hilo and teach at their Sunday service. Then it's back to Honolulu to hook up with a few other pastors's I know and then finally watch the Reagan sail in to Pearl Harbor and see Pam again before the final voyage of this 7 month deployment back to San Diego.

Another very special highlight of the summer was sharing at all 3 morning services at Calvary Escondido, my home church, as we all celebrated the 30th Anniversary of CC Escondido. Can't really express my joy and gratitude for all God has done, is doing, and will continue to do thru CCE.

On Sunday Sept. 18th I'LL be filling in at Valley Baptist in Valley Center for my friend Gunar Hansen.

As always, I deeply appreciate your continued prayer and support!

May the Lord richly bless and keep you in His love and pour thru you His abundant Joy!

In His Arm's,

Pat
