This morning Doug and Jan Wolf were in Church. The Wolfs were very active in the church back in the 1980's After he retired from the Navy, Doug and Jan settled here and both of them sang in the choir and got involved in many areas of church life. Doug was actually on the pulpit committee that called me in 1985. Curt Brockway, Rosie Main, Doris Adams, Louise Strouse and Paul Lorraine served with him.

In 1988 they moved to Idaho and have not been back since. We have kept in contact and enjoyed hearing about them and their two boys, Eric and Ian. Now that they have both retired, they have been going cross country and enjoying life. This week they were back for an anniversary celebration with members of Doug's submarine crew.

We also welcomed back Rev. Evans Olibrice. Evans is the pastor of the Waney Baptist Church in Haiti. We have supported them with our mission giving over the years and dreamed about going down for a visit. This year they will baptize thirteen young people at their anniversary celebration the end of June. Evans is living and working in New York these days but he travels back and forth when he can. He asked us to pray for the church and for the people. Right now they are starving because there is a shortage of food available. We will be accepting gifts to send down with him to provide food for people who come to the church.
