Dear Family & Friends,

This is an unforgettable experience!!!! Today, I'm sitting in the recording studio at LIFE Pacific College and it is absolutely incredible! We are here with the members and friends of the "Pilgrims" Quartet, of LIFE Bible College renown, during the late 1960's, recording an updated version of the songs that ministered to our generation during those days. All of these dear life-time friends and ministry colleagues had come together, while we were in Brazil, and planned a wonderful benefit concert to encourage us along the path of our potential return to Brazil for a season of further ministry. The concert will take place tomorrow night, Saturday, Oct. 17th on the campus of LIFE in San Dimas, CA.

We have so many people to thank and there is no earthly way to show our deep, deep gratitude for their selfless contribution of time, energy and resources, but we want all of you to know of their love and tireless work on our behalf. Please pray for the Lord to return to each one, many fold, all that has been sacrificed for this event and subsequent CD recording, which is being done as we speak.

You can catch pictures of the recording session in progress on Dale's FB page and possibly on mine before the day is over. We want to mention the folks who have made this possible. First of all we want to thank Pastor Jack Hayford for his participation, encouragement, prayer and recorded DVD introduction and commendation, of the project, and the quartet's participation. We are grateful to Bob Barnum, Steve Willis, Steve Von Hoff and Terry Runyon; the members of the quartet, and also for all the logistics of this incredible and unforgettable week-end. You wouldn't believe how much work has been involved! We thank Debbie Brown, of Christian Assembly and lifetime friend, originally from Iowa, Patti's home state, as well as, Linda Willis, Steve's wife and Karen (Willis) Teal, Steve's sister; they have been an integral part of all of the hospitality we are enjoying.

A very special thanks to Brad Palsma of LIFE Pacific College and Dr.s Robert Flores and James Walls, as well as, all the staff that have opened wide, the doors and of all these facilities for our use and enjoyment. A special thanks to Shawn Fitzlaff who has unbelievable patience as we do the studio work. We are so very grateful for all of this; we really do not know what to say; we are speechless. We pray that the Lord will return to each one of you, dear family and friends, many fold your loving work and sacrifice!

If you are in the area please know that you are invited to enjoy this night of celebration of 40 years for the Pilgrims and be a part of the "encouragement" team for Dale & I as we continue to walk in faith through this unbelievable and miraculous epoch of our lives and ministry.

The campus is located at; 1100 Covina Blvd., San Dimas, CA and the concert will be taking place on Sat. night Oct. 17th at 8:00 PM, though the doors will be open at 7:00 PM; If you simply get on campus, someone will be here to direct you to "The Loop" in the Roy Hicks, Jr. Building, where the concert will be held.

Thanks to each and every one of you who have been following with us during this great adventure, and have held our hands, as we walk through this door, and prayed for each an every step with us. May the Christ of the Church bless you.

Our love and prayer,

Dale & Patti
