It is with deep regret that I am having to leave the Appalachian Network as the Royal Ranger Network Director. I have accepted a promotion to Patrol Captain in Minnesota. I have enjoyed most of my life in the Appalachian District along with my family in the Assembly of God district dating back almost 70 years. I love this district and the Northeast Region! I have really enjoyed Royal Rangers there as a boy, later as a commander, district staff and recently as the director. This is a ministry for boys and men. Keep working on those churches so that we can bring more boys to Christ! We have already found an outpost in Duluth, Minnesota for Marcus, Michelle and I on Wednesday nights and another church closer to our new home for other days (which hopefully will be interested in a new outpost).
Jacob King is the deputy director and will be taking the lead until a decision is made by the Network, so be praying for the right leader. Jamie will graduate in two years, so you may hear from him looking to speak at your church to help finance him for the mission field. Nathan is staying, so you’ll still see him around district events. Take care and keep working for God! I’ll see you at the National FCF Rendezvous and Camporama!
