Our Journey, His Work: Rance's Ordination Weekend

Rance's ordination weekend may have been a month ago, but we are still rejoicing over all those involved in such a big event in our lives. Many hours of training have been going on behind the scenes for over two years now. Our gratitude for Colin McDougall's investment in both of our lives (and continued time) is something we will never be able to fully express. Read all of our many thanks here.

Below are a few pictures that capture such a special weekend together with family & friends!

Brooke is more than my cousin - she is my sister - one of my best friends - and someone that literally walks through every day of this journey of faith with Rance, Jayden and I. She is a prayer warrior and has an the incredible gift of serving. She was able to come a few days early so that we could continue through the models as she desires to grow daily in her walk with the Lord and to just know Him more!

Jasmine is another big part of our lives. Rance taught Jasmine a few years ago but in was during the summer of 2013 that Jasmine reached out to Rance with a desire to know God more! We have been doing life together ever since and now her and Brooke have grown in their friendship as we have all joined in studying God's Word together. What a privilege!

We ENJOY every moment that grandma is around!!!

Wyatt & Jayden - two peas in a pod!

We all enjoyed sharing in what God is doing on the ETM property with our family and friends from Nahunta & Indiana!

On Saturday evening, November 7th, Rance met before an ordination council of 17 men and was questioned for a few hours. He was approved with full confidence that evening to be ordained as a Minister of the Gospel! Tears and thankfulness flowed for this sweet time!

One of the SWEETEST surprises was my friend Susie and her husband Chris traveling several hours to surprise Rance and support him and our family that weekend. WOW does not even express our shock and thankfulness for such love and the support we receive from them.
