Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.
I have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal savior through the shedding of His blood for the forgiveness of my sins. This was at the age of 8 at Checkrow Church Daily Vacation Bible School.
I met my wonderful wife, Kay, at the wedding of our friends and we just celebrated our 44th wedding anniversary. We were blessed with 3 daughters. Karen McCance who resides in Macomb, Stacey Creger in Peoria with her husband and our 3 grandchildren, and Cynthia in heaven at the age of 20.
I retired from Caterpillar Tractor after 44 years. Kay retired from nursing administration after 24 years. We reside on a farm 10 miles east of Bushnell.
Youth for Christ is and should be a challenge for each of us as board members. The challenge is to let the community know of the great work and the potential for greater encouragement of the gospel among our youth. Each of us is aware of the peer pressure that our future generation of leaders is facing as they become adults.
The churches of the area need to be challenged to the work and success of Youth for Christ in the community. Without much prayer we cannot meet the spiritual and financial needs of the ministry of Youth for Christ.
