The Exchange

Here's a video that a couple of guys from our Master's Commission wrote and performed as an opener for our weekly service for students called the Exchange. Please feel free to repost!

Our College Graduate and a Guy Called "Doc"

This past weekend both of my children graduated from our Master's Commission program here at Crossroads Church - Chase as a first-year student and Robin as a second-year student. Our program partners with West Coast Bible College offering a two-year bachelor's degree. Robin graduated with a degree in Biblical counseling! We are so proud of her.

So proud of her in fact, we gave her a job. (Actually Pastor Shawn Marcell did.) Shawn and Nicole recently became our Outreach Pastors here at Crossroads in addition to directing our Master's Commission. It had become necessary to actually create a department for all our outreach endeavors both here in the States and abroad. Robin will be working in that office and it is right up her alley. She loves World Missions and this position will allow her to interact with the many missionaries we support around the world. 

On another note, at the graduation ceremony Dr. Kevin Harrison, President of West Coast Bible College, presented me with an honorary Doctorate of Divinity. I was completely humbled by this extremely kind gesture. Next time you see me you can just call me "Doc." LOL.  

The Graduate

We are celebrating back-to-back graduations with our son Chase these next two weekends. Chase's High School graduation will be today at 2:00 PM. He and seven fellow Home Schoolers will be honored in a ceremony at Crossroads Church. Last year, after completing his Junior year, Chase only needed two more credits to graduate. After attending the "Experience Week" our Master's Commission program puts on every year, Chase decided he wanted to complete his school work early so that he could go ahead and join Master's Commission. That explains his second graduation, which will be next weekend when he crosses the stage to receive his diploma for the nine month discipleship school he has participated in since September. Chase plans to enroll in a second year with the program which will allow him to earn a Bachelor's Degree from West Coast Bible College. He believes God has called him into the ministry.

We are so proud of Chase. He has been an excellent student and an absolute joy to have in our home. In preparation for his graduations, we have looked through hundreds of photographs we've taken of Chase through the years. After looking at all the pictures, Donna and I came to two conclusions: 1. Our son has always been a really fun and interesting kid! 2. He's had a really fun life. We love him so much and thank God for him!
