Greetings Friend,


Most retired missionaries never truly retire...they continue on serving the Lord in different capacities. We thought you might like to see what some of InterAct’s retirees are up to:

 
 

Dave Henry (Fairbanks, AK):  

Life goes on for Dave when he is outside of his home, He helps at the Fairbanks Native Bible Church by transporting people every Sunday and Wednesday. He preaches when the need arises and contributes to the weekly potluck dinners at church. Dave is also working toward publication of an autobiography including 59 years of active missionary service with his late wife, Kay.

 


Bob & Carol Moffat (Gresham, OR):

They continue to serve the Lord in retirement. They frequently challenge and encourage InterAct missionaries in Alaska, Canada and the Oregon office.

 
 

Gary and Valerie Brumbelow (Boring, OR): 

Gary has served as pastor of Troutdale Community Church since 2011. Valerie stays very busy coordinating the music ministry, and giving leadership to the women’s and children’s ministries. Gary is also writing, and just published his first novel, Someplace North, Someplace Wild. Gary drew on his experience with InterAct in the writing of this contemporary fiction book which is intended to encourage Christ followers.

 


Jennetta Hughes (Big Lake, AK):

Jeanetta’s current opportunities to serve the Lord include a monthly Bible Study in her home for about ten ladies. She calls other widows from her church about meetings and other requests. Once or twice a month she attends and helps with meals for a Neighborhood Connection group. 

 


Jim and Becky Hamilton (Carstairs, AB):

They just finished a good week at Midway Bible Camp, Becky helping in the kitchen, and Jim fixing things on site. Back at home, Jim serves on the Mobilization team for Canada, and is on the Elder board at church. Becky serves at the welcome desk at church, and they enjoy reaching out to their neighbors. 


 



Freda Arnold (Palmer, AK):

One thing Freda most enjoys, is the correcting of correspondence Bible lessons from prison inmates. It is a joy for her to read some of their remarks about turning to the Lord. She also enjoys fellowship with women in her Bible study group. 

 

George & Judy Richardson (Wasilla, AK):  

They continue to lead Bible Study and a shared meal every Thursday. The group of 12-14 people emphasizes sharing their faith with unbelievers. George is also a member of the Field Advisory Team for InterAct’s Alaska Field. In addition, he fills in preaching every couple of months at SonRise Community Church in Anchorage. Reaching out to Alaska Natives is still very much a part of George and Judy’s life through phone calls, visiting those who live locally, and many funerals that George has gotten called on to do from people where they once ministered. 

As we relate stories and snippets from our missionaries in the North Pacific Crescent, would you ask the Lord to give you fresh insights into ways you can support and pray for InterAct Ministries?
