So we have this awesome young Youth Pastor at Westbrook. His name is Rick Marcum and he has just begun his sixth year of ministry with our students. We are so blessed to share ministry with he and Mindy and Mylan. While we love them beyond words… we’re gearing up to lose them one of these days to church planting. When that happens our loss will be the kingdom’s gain.

While Rick and Mindy are at CIY this week with our students, Rick’s Mother ~ Chelle is here hanging out with Mylan. Rochelle May Gonzalez Pe Benito Marcum is her full name. She came to America from Iloilo City, Philippines in 1968. She gained her US Citizenship in 1996. Christie and I were able to have her over for dinner tonight and now see why Rick is so awesome. And yes, Rick has a great father… but his nanay, (mother)~ she’s awesome!
