If you could, remember Ronnie in some prayer that he will continue to do well at his new job and he will find favor with his employers.
Also pray for Kristi: the owners are upgrading the apartments and she is really overwhelmed with a lot of work trying to manage all the normal activities PLUS the construction and upgrades.
hey all.
we are not dead… despite the lack of ANYthing to write about concerning the effort right now. The only thing even slightly worth mentioning is that Shell and I are actually saving a miniscule amount of money towards the lawyers at this moment, but the economy being what it is and work being slow, it’s not going very fast.
Other than that, Ronnie and Kristi are all settled in at the new places in Norwalk: new apartment where Kristi manages and new job for Ronnie. Shelly is in St Paul, Minnesota for a work thing until tomorrow.
God bless and take care,
dave
Ronnie has found a job doing some accounting work. This is a really a blessing. It’s not too far from the house, a decent job and something new which he can train in. We are still waiting for the final word on when the move will happen, but so far the Lord has blessed with jobs and a place to live.
And… happy new year to you all!!!
Ronnie ha trovato lavoro tipo contabilità. È una benedizione vera … non troppo lontano da casa, un buon lavoro e cosa nuova che può imparare. ancora aspettiamo a sapere quando succederà il trasferimento, ma fino ad ora, il Signore ha benedetto grandemente con lavoro ed un appartamento.
e….. un felice anno nuovo a tutti!!!

Want to ask for prayer for Ronnie and Kristi to find good paying jobs. Both are looking for work currently and have some prospects. Ask God to give them wisdom in searching and to find favor with the right employers. They are currently also looking at some apartment options since they will need to move within a month.

Well, I -Dave- write this because Ronnie no longer has internet access… but I thought it best to give a little update on the latest happenings. As of last Tuesday, Pastor Ronnie is no longer a Pastor. He stepped down from his ministry position for a variety of reasons. He and Kristi will remain at Calvary Chapel La Mirada as worshippers, but with no more ministry duties. He has been under a fair amount of stress for the last couple of years, and with health issues in the family really taking a toll, he has been suffering for a while. Pray for both he and Kristi as they adjust to the new situation. They are living in a nice house on the church property and will continue to do so for a few months. But by next year, they will need to have found a new place. As most of us know… moving is never fun. There are lots of difficult decisions to make and they will need strength. Pastor Bryan has also been gracious to pay his full salary for a period so he can transition back to non-clergy work. But nonetheless, Ronnie had been doing this for 7 years and it is always a scary thing to face the unknown. He has been looking for work and has a few possibilities already lined up. I’ll keep the blog updated as things happen. Pray he can find a job that will pay well and provide for the family. I believe Kristi is looking as well, so pray for both to find what they need. It’s been kind of mixed for me… but I honestly feel like the Lord is going to use all of this as a step TOWARDS Italy… not a step back. I have had a sense for a while now that he would have to be out of the ministry position in order to get to Italy. Kind of weird, I know …. I had not predicted it coming like this, but…. nonetheless I feel it’s from the Lord. We’ll see how it plays out in the future. dave
