Last Sunday April 30th I announced to our congregation our resignation from the work here in Peachland. Our last day of official ministry at the Peachland Community Church will be June 30 2006. It was over 13 years ago that the Holy Spirit laid this little town on our hearts and Cheryl and I were obedient this call by getting a church started in May of 1993. We have seen some unbelievable things happen here, even mini-revival type events in our journey with what used to be this little (and now not so little) town of Peachland. We will miss many things about being here but we know that the same Holy Spirit that lead us to this town in '93 has spoken again and is now leading us away from this great place. To where? We don't know just yet! We will be taking a look at some options that have been offered to us but for right now there is nothing to go to. So for the next week or so we will just be relaxing in the knowledge that we are putting the finishing touches to this chapter of our lives in anticipation of what the next chapter brings. We need your prayers so don't be stingy with them. When we first came to Peachland Paige and Danae were only 3 and Mackenzie just 1. They had no input into all of this but now they have a much greater stake in this whole thing. Please pray for them as they have no control over this leading and so they're perception of all this is quite different from mom and dads.
Cheryl and I are very excited as we anticipate what new adventure the Lord will be taking us on. Our hearts are bubbling with joy over what has been and now what will be coming.
God is Good – All The Time :)

hmmm, sounds exciting. i have been thinking you all needed a new challenge.
Hope some exciting new opportunities open up for you and we agree with your decision too.
You can never know or understand how positive an impact you have made in the lives of so many. You have literally touched a town's heart. God has used you in SO many ways here. The really cool thing is that He's just been getting you warmed up for something else! =) It's been an honor serving with you bro.
Good for you guys. "Change is good, Donkey!" For some reason, this change is bringing back some supressed memories.
Remember way back in the WAC-ky years? I was a little twerp (maybe still am) and you probably didn't have a clue what you were getting into. Week after week doing worship or hangin' out in youth group. Thanks for giving us all the opportunities to express ourselves thru music and for never giving up on getting The Message thru to us.
May peace and rest be on you and your family.
Supressed memories eh! haha
thanks bruce and kieth. These years are so full of wonderful and fruitful ventures. It is hard to believe it could get better than this....
We all know God just does not seem to leave His workers in the same field forever so your news is exciting! We can't wait to hear where He is leading you and the family. We will "assume the position" as we would say on band practice night when we were all about to pray. Keep us posted and remember, we don't live FAR away ya know!
Hello Nichols,
I have finally read you blog and got caught up. We will be forever grateful for your love, your insight, for the light of the Lord emanating from your family and, lastly, for the patience you had in situations where most of us would have quit. We love you dearly, will pray and may the Lord continue to bless you, make His face shine upon you and give you His Shalom.
