Byword, a hot worship band from St. Maries, Idaho, provided a concert and later led over 250 people in worship. God used them, along with speaker Jeremy Taylor, Youth Pastor at Immanuel Baptist in Hoquiam, to bring about change in many who were in attendance. Four students responded to the invitation to accept Jesus Christ as leader of their lives. Over 60 Christian students made decisions to use their lives for something "Bigger or Better" in 2007. God is the only one who knows what other decisions were made that night. Praise Him!

Developing the Man of Tomorrow

Father/Son Retreat, coming March 2-4, 2007 Gary Stanton, Associate Pastor at Faith Baptist in Kent, is the speaker. He is excited to challenge dads and sons to work together to accomplish God's best plan in their relationship. He will focus on dad as: Provider Sage Warrior Mentor During the retreat, dads will experience these roles with their sons as well as how to build these abilities into their sons as they grow up.

A brief bio… Pastor Gary Stanton grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and came to the west coast to join the US Navy for 4 years…actually, his wife of 26 years, Donna Mae, says he never really grew up! After graduating from San Diego State University with an Accounting degree, Gary and Donna Mae ministered to American and Asian college students for seventeen years at various West Coast universities, while supplementing his income by working as an accounting consultant. Now the proud parents of four children and a foster son, Pastor Gary ministers in Kent, Washington, at Faith Baptist Church. His speaking style includes generous doses of very bad humor…just pretend to like it…it makes him feel good about himself! Encourage your men and their boys to attend this great event. Lives will be transformed and relationships made stronger during this retreat.
