Pittsburgh District--The Rest of the Story

We finished out the week on the Pittsburgh with services every night and 2 on Sunday. We continued to meet great people, and to have a great time sharing with caring, involved Nazarenes in all the churches.

In Coraopolis we met Pastor Ron and Joan Keller. A member of this congregation is Lenny Baun, who is the district Work and Witness coordinator, and has led many teams to places all around the world.

Friday evening we were at West Mifflin Terrace, a lively, culturally-diverse body pastored by Peter Roy, who is pictured with his wife Sherry.


Uniontown CoN is a church taking seriously Christ's command to go, in their own community. The service included a group of kids from extremely "disadvantaged circumstances." One of these kids was baptised on Easter Sunday! They are finding love in no other part of their lives, except from Pastor Howard and Kathy Foust and the people of the church.

Sunday morning we were with Pastor Roger Diehl and the people of Allison CoN. It was a joy to worship with them, and to tell our story to a responsive congregation. The photo is of Pastor Diehl with his wife, Karen, and daughters Shae and Cassie.

For the evening service we traveled to Deer Lakes Community CoN, and had a great time with Pastor and Mrs. Richard Wise and the church there. A fun fact is that their future son-in-law was one of the young men in the team that came to PNG from Mt. Vernon Nazarene University last January. If you look back at the blogs from then, you could probably see him, if you only knew who you were looking for!

After the evening service, we picked up a rental car and drove east for a couple of hours, getting ready to visit Gettysburg the next morning. But that's a whole new story.
