Pastor Weekly - 10/22/25
Hello ICC Family!
First off, apologies to many of you because we experienced some technical difficulties with last week’s pastor email such that only a few people actually received it! However, everything seems to be working again at this point, so praise the Lord for that! The difficulties came as a result of a website upgrade. I would highly encourage you to check out the new site by clicking HERE! Among other upgrades you will notice that our service Livestream is to be found right there on the home page, with a link to previous services as well. The website will be the primary place to watch the livestream from this point forward, although it will also be syndicated to our Facebook page as well.
I sent these prayer requests and announcements out last week, but since only a few of you received them, I am sending them again today…
A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power
Ephesians 6:10
Blessings to you all!
And know that I am praying for you!

- Please be praying for Laurel and me as we head to the Philippines and Thailand. She and I will be in two different places while in the Philippines! I will be with Pastor Devera and meeting the young pastors that he works with as well as the partner churches that we support there. From there, Laurel and I will travel together to Thailand to visit my former church and several ministries we continue to be involved with in that country.
- Pray for our guest preachers that you will hear from while I am away:
- Dr. Ryan Gimple from CSU on November 2nd
- Pastor Jimmy Reeves on November 9th
- Pray that I would be a blessing and encouragement to Pastor Devera and the churches we partner with
- Pray that Laurel and I would be a blessing to my former church (Chiang Mai Community Church) and the Bible translators we will meet with in Thailand
- Pray that we come back with many testimonies and stories of God being at work among the nations to spur us on here at ICC to love and good deeds
- Pray for Laurel as she represents CSU
- Pray for our guest preachers that you will hear from while I am away:
- After our return in mid-November, the elders and I will be preparing the tentative 2026 church budget. We will then conduct our annual congregational meeting to hear financial and ministry reports and vote on that 2026 budget. This will take place on the evening of Sunday, November 23rd at 6:30 PM at the church.
- Please note… We will NOT be having a Thanksgiving meal at the church after Sunday service this year. Please enjoy that Thanksgiving holiday with your friends and families! If you happen to be on your own this year for the holiday, do not hesitate to get in touch with me, as there are several homes that have stated they would love to host more people.
- Then November 30th will be the start of the Christmas Advent season. Pray that it would be a wonderful time of worship and growth at ICC this year. And be thinking even now of how you can invite your friends and neighbors to join us in our Christmas festivities at ICC!
A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power
Ephesians 6:10
Blessings to you all!
And know that I am praying for you!
