So thankful to the Lord for the huge blessing of having Pastor Johnny and Judy as our pastors and friends -- since 31 years ago or so, when we were in Baker City, Oregon. The Holy Spirit arrived with such presence and power when they came to Baker City! The church as a whole was not prepared for it - it was a brief time; but it was impactive! I learned so much from Pastor Johnny about the kingdom of God and how to "real-eyes" the spiritual vs the limitations of a mere religious understanding. Having just re-read his book, "O Death, Where Is Thy Sting?," with his personal accounting of just how powerfully God got his full attention, I can understand Pastor Johnny's lifetime responses to minister in the many ways and in the various places all over the globe - for the Lord's glory! I so appreciate Judy, his wife, and all the family for being supportive of his calling. His relating his grateful love for and his understanding of his family's strength are memorable messages I can recall as well. Again, so thankful! ........
