Great team to Eastern Washington and Oregon September 10-12

I will be leading a PFC team to Walla Walla, Pendleton, and Wapato, September 10-12 for a series of worship concerts.  The team is Peyton Burkhart, Jim Dixon, Jonathan Stanton, Nathan Jacobsen, Peter Richardson, and me.

There are usually between 30-60 at most services with 75-100 in Pendleton. We often see 300 in all the sites and many acknowledge receiving Christ for salvation or take very positive steps in following Christ.  We have enjoyed remarkable interaction with the site chaplains and even the officers. For several years, I have been leading these PFC Eastern Washington and Oregon teams two or three times yearly.

Jim, jamming with Nathan to the right,  comes with me regularly and plays the guitar as he evangelizes, shares his testimony and plays his own music in ballads.  He and Jonathan,  Nathan, and Peter will carry the worship and concert sequences. The young men will be sharing their testimonies, as well.  I'll keep 'em busy.

Peyton, taking his first tour with us, and I will team up to minister in preaching.  Peyton is the respected editor of the PFC Yard Out newspaper which is widely distributed to prisons across the US and international locations.  

Penny Castro, on the left here, is the PFC director of volunteers and many other tasks at the PFC in Woodinville.  She facilitates these prison tours. On this tour, Penny scheduled us to start with a Friday service at the Walla Walla juvenile facility. On Saturday, we have two at the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla and the Eastern Oregon Institute of Corrections in Pendleton, Oregon. Sunday afternoon we finish at the PFC Standing Stones rehab and training site in Wapato.
