We had a great time with Mark and Janalee this past weekend. The music was wonderful, and Mark had a timely word of the Lord to share with us. We love them and hope to have them back real soon.
Isaiah 61:1-4
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.”
Forerunner Ministries has been in operation for 38 years, working mostly in the urban areas of the United States. Internationally, we have led teams on mission trips to eight different countries. Of those eight countries, most work has been in the Ukraine.
Janalee and I have been married for over 40 years with three sons, who are now grown and serving the Lord. We are so blessed and grateful for God’s grace and faithfulness in our lives and ministry.
As we find the years starting to creep up on us, we find ourselves at a place of transition. However, there are areas of purpose and vision that still remain consistent and are becoming more confirmed and clarified as we continue on this frontier of faith.
We hope the following outline will help with the who, what, why, and where of Forerunner Ministries.

We had a wonderful time at our annual fish fry again. It was great to see so many show up to fellowship with friends and neighbors and eat fish. The most important of all was the good news of Jesus Christ was proclaimed. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make the fish fry a great success this year. Hope to see you next year. Remember, our fish fry is always on the third Saturday in June.
