friends set us up. I love to remind Dave of his words before he met me, "I was
99% sure I wouldn't like this girl!" :) Anyway, though I
wouldn't say it was love at first sight for either of us,
we hit it off very well together that weekend. The next
two years of dating were a little rough, especially
since it was long distance, but the Lord brought us
through, and we were married in January 2011. Our
wedding was beautiful, albeit very cold, as it was in
snowy northern WI where I am originally from! We
have been married for over four years now, and it is
been wonderful. All that we worked
through during our dating relationship has
made our marriage so much easier now.
God is good!
Since that
time the Lord has blessed us with our
blond
haired
blue-eyed little Patrick David, who turned
two years old in
April. He is very busy, and keeps us on our
toes, but brings
us so much joy as well! His little sister Camille Elise just
joined our family one month ago on May
29. So far she has been an easy baby, and we are so thankful for her. Patrick
adores her! Even though parenting is more challenging than we could have
ever imagined, it is so worth it, and causes us to lean on the Lord for strength
and wisdom every day!
Dave was blessed to grow up in a Christian home, and was saved when
he was around 7 years old and baptized when he was 10. He was homeschooled, and is one of nine children, seven brothers and two sisters! He
moved here from Pennsylvania with his family when he was a teenager, and
has lived in this area of Missouri since then.
He began working with his dad and several of his brothers from an early
age. In 2006 Dave started a new company, MachMotion. His company manufactures cnc control systems for automated machinery. The company is growing very quickly, and they have around 25 employees working for them at this
time. They recently built a new plant south of Rolla where their company is
located. When he isn't working, Dave enjoys flying his hobby planes, playing

IS HOLINESS
POSSIBLE?
Therefore, preparing your
minds for action, and
being sober-minded, set
your hope fully on the
grace that will be brought
to you at the revelation of
Jesus Christ. As obedient
children, do not be
c on forme d
to
the
passions of your former
ignorance, but as he who
called you is holy, you
also be holy in all your
conduct, since it is
written, You shall be
holy, for I am holy.
1Peter 1:13-16
As followers of Jesus, we are called to be
holy. This means that as
Jesus walked, so are we
to walk. We are to pattern ourselves after the
Holy One who called us.
When I read this, I
am compelled to look at
my life and ask the

the Ten Commandments, gave them hundreds of other detailed laws as well as the complete instructions
for how to build the tabernacle in the wilderness.
Much of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are Gods instructions to his people through Moses. Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised
Land, but he taught and trained Gods people how to
live in order to please the Lord.
3) David A Legacy of Financial Giving. David
longed to build a glorious temple for the Lord. God
did not allow him to build it or see it, but he did allow
him to prepare for it. I Chronicles 29:1-5 lists the
riches David laid up for the future temple which God
then allowed Solomon to build: gold, silver, bronze,
iron, wood, onyx, turquoise, fine stones and marble.
Davids example of abundant generosity encouraged
others to give bountifully as well (I Chronicles 29:6-9)
and the magnificent Temple of Solomon was built in
the next generation (II Chronicles 2-7).
4) Daniel A Legacy of Prayer and Intercession
Daniels heart was to see the tribe of Judah restored
to their homeland and the city of Jerusalem following
their 70 year captivity in Babylon. He did not get to
see his home country again, but he prepared the way
for others by fervent prayer and intercession as recorded in Daniel 9. His prayers helped to set the stage
for the return of the exiles, the rebuilding of the temple and the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem as recorded in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah.
These men died in faith, not receiving the promise
they longed for, but preparing for it nonetheless. Its
your turn now. What has God put in your heart?
What can you do to intentionally prepare future generations to fulfill Gods purposes? What will your legacy be?

KIDCARE MINISTRY
OPPORTUNITIES
KidCare America is pretty quiet right now during
the summer break. But that doesnt mean we arent
busy making plans for the fall! We have a number of
staff & volunteer positions that we are needing to fill
when we resume in August. Perhaps this will be your
opportunity to get plugged in to a ministry at First Assembly? We currently have several mentor positions,
a van driver, a practical living teacher, and several tutors. Perhaps youre rather new to First Assembly and

As followers of Jesus, we have endless provisions (Phil 4:19). He provides us with inward strength
and the permeating influence of the Holy Spirit,
whom He has sent as our helper (John 14:26). Holiness is a possibility because the Holy Spirit lives within us.
It begins with a commitment to the Lord Jesus
Christ. Then it then it takes action on the part of the
believer, i.e. (1) set your mind on things above, (2) put
