Pat Writes: 

I grew up in Bottineau, North Dakota and moved to Grand Forks in 1968 where I graduated from Red River High School in 1977. I completed a one year welding program and worked in the oil fields for 2 years before going to the University of North Dakota and graduating with a degree in Industrial Technology. My wife and I have been married for 38 years. We have two children and three grand children. I taught IT for 32 years and coached football for 15 years. During my coaching career I was involved with Fellowship of Christian Athletes. After we both retired in 2022 we moved north of Bemidji and began attending First Baptist Church. It has been so encouraging getting to know so many followers of Jesus Christ.

I grew up in what I would call a religious home where all four kids were required to go to church with my mom every Sunday and my dad would go to his church.  The only exception was on Christmas Eve when my dad would bring us to the midnight service in Minot North Dakota where he had grown up.

I didn't know anything about Jesus, other than seeing him hanging on the cross in the front of our church, until one day after listening to Josh McDowell speak on the UND campus I signed up to know more about who HE was. That week I agreed to meet with the pastor from a local church and he shared the gospel with me. That day I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.


 I enjoy helping out with our Awana program, getting up early on Friday mornings for mens bible study and eating our pastors famous blueberry pancakes.

I will be sharing how God has brought me out of religion and into a relationship with His Son. My prayer is that God will continue to encourage us in these last days as we live with so much darkness pressing in on us.


 Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another
