My wife of 20 years, Tammy and I would like to thank you for this opportunity. We have lived in the Bemidji/Walker/Laporte area all our lives. Both of us explored big city living after high school and confirmed our desire to live rurally. Our farm is in the Guthrie area where we raise horses, Chickens, a good dog and two grumpy cats. All these animals and many family members help us raise our two children. Kiley is 22, married to Mr. Bennett Westrum and they have 5 month old twins. Our son Grant is 18 and has graduated from Laporte and is in love with Ms. Anna Frenzel. He lives at home while working for Dicks Plumbing Saving for their future. Many other children have come and gone through our home. Nieces, nephews, foster, foreign exchange and other school age kids that have needed a bed, meal or been in transition. Every one of them blessing Tammy and I with the chance to help. Tammy is currently keeping our house a home and is assisting with the new twin grandchildren. I have been a farrier (horse shoer) for 25 years in North Central MN. Tammy and I grew up in the church, both of us coming to faith in Sunday School. We have worshiped in Lutheran, Baptist, Catholic, and Bible Churches. We are still growing and seeking God; that His perfect love would be evident in our hearts and produce fruit for the Kingdom. However... we are both still challenged by live, driven by work, worn by the world and tested by God's Word! Thank you to all men and women of Men's Full Gospel and the chance to share our story. For Jesus' sake and our life united by his word in Christ. |
