 I
was commissioned as an OAFC’er way back in 1976, in a small town in
Indiana, Brownstown. Our OAFC circuit was blessed because it was led by Pastor
John Moyer. I was fortunate enough to have attended High School and served
on a Summer Traveling Team With Pastor Tom Moyer.When I remember High School, I remember OAFC because that was my main involvement, my main set of friends who even got together between weekends for Bible Studies, and Picnics. I was fortunate enough to serve on 3 Traveling Teams, One with Pastor Darko to Montana, one with Dan and Ann Barz to Pennsylvania, and One with Dean and Carol Blackwell to Tennessee. With OAFC I was able to witness to people in many places, Prison Ministry, Nursing Home visits, Door to Door, and even within the congregations we visited. OAFC was a big influence on my life and guided me to Concordia College (Now University), in River Forest, Illinois. I stayed on in the Chicago area for many years working in Accounting, where I met my husband Rick Hall. We have been married 9 years, and are blessed with 3 children Chris who is 17 (from Rick’s former Marriage), Jessica who is 7 and Samantha who is 4. We currently Live in Lansing, Kansas. I saw Pastor Tom last summer when his traveling team came thru here. This year when the 40 Day team came thru, we were on vacation. Vicar Joseph and Cissy Stiles have been working on getting a circuit up and running in the Kansas City area. It has been loads of fun to see how much of the witnessing method I can remember after all these years. It is wonderful to see how far and wide OAFC is now reaching, and wonderful that we have the internet, which makes it possible to stay in touch with friends you make who live far away, or for me to stay in touch with the OAFC organization. I hope that some day my two young girls will get the enthusiasm and love for our Lord that OAFC inspires. I know that because of OAFC I am a stronger Christian today, one who KNOWS what I believe, and is willing to share it. Gods Blessing to all OAFC’er and I’d love to hear from anyone who may remember me, or was in the Brownstown Indiana Circuit way back then. Lorihall62@hotmail.com. |
