I've promised so many of you an update on our family, and I just have not taken the time to do that yet. I'm embarrased. But, here goes a long ago promised update-- overdue by about 2 years!We moved from Sao Paulo Brazil, the second largest city in the world in 2004, back to the US. After 10 years as IMB missionaries, we sensed the Lord leading us back into the pastorate. We went to Brazil in 1994 knowing that one day, He would return us to the pastorate. Our hearts and passion never left the pastorate. In the summer of 2004, a church in Fairfield Ohio contacted us and eventually invited us to be their pastor. It has been a wonderful time, and the Lord has given us such a great fit and is blessing His work here. Our church website is www.rhbaptist.org, and I try to jot my thoughts or sermon summaries from time to time on a blog at www.pastordannyblogs.blogspot.com

Both are committed to the Lord, and we are blessed by their lives and testimonies.
Brittney studied 2 years at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas before love brought her to Cincinnati. She was married in March (2006) to a Kentucky boy she met while we lived in Brazil.

Leann is working part-time, and enjoying being a pastor's wife. God is using her to teach a Sunday School class and various other women's studies. She is having a great ministry in the lives of women. She has such an incredible heart for the Lord, and is an incredible communicator.
We have been so blessed by God's goodness to us. Many of you were so vital in our missions ministry as you faithfully prayed for us and encouraged us in our minstry. We will never be able to repay you for that incredible ministry to us. And we would love to hear from you in the comment section below. Let us know that you've seen this page, and what is going on with you and yours.
Love, Danny, Leann, and the "kids".
