A Great Dad!
July 17, 2007
This morning I had a chance to spend some time with Dad here in Houston.I am amazed as he has recounted the work of God in his life over the last 17 years. He is now 78 and continues to be used by God all over the world. He has literally been used by God to further the kingdom on just about every continent. He has been used in a significant way in South Africa and Asia.
I think the reason that God has used him in such a mighty way is because he has no desire for self to be exalted. He does not like to be referred to as the Father of the Cell Church movement. His life theme is, ” Not I but Christ who lives in me.”
He questions his life work in these next years. I believe he will be used in a great way to speak into the life of the church worldwide. If you wish to conatat Dad, (Ralph Neighbour Jr.), you can email him at ralph@touchusa.org.
A Good Wife, Who Can Find?
July 14, 2007
Today Pam and I celebrate 28 years of marriage! The longer I live the more grateful I am to Pam for all she has meant to me. She confirms the scripture Proverbs 18:22, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and receives favor from the Lord.”
Being a pastor is not an easy thing and being a pastor’s wife is even harder. Pam has been a great source of wisdom and encouragement over the years. I could not have done it without her. We have also raised two wonderful children and with her help we have been able to see both of them graduate from college. We are very proud of them and Pam has been a wonderful mother and role model for our children.
Many women in our community look up to Pam and it is truly a joy to serve Christ by her side.
They say games are lost and won in the second half. I am looking forward to a winning season in the second half with Pam.
Happy Anniversary Pam,
love,
me
