Pastor's Message

July, 2008

By Pastor Bob Solon

Introducing Pastor Bob Solon.
Pastor Solon's first Sunday at Hope Wesleyan Church will be July 27.

Why Independence?

That’s a question we’ve been asked time and again as we shared the news that we’ll be moving east of Waterloo, IA in just a few weeks. In one way or another, well-intended people have said, “You have a good church, a good house, a good life, a good (____) fill in the blank. Why now and why move there?”

What it boils down to is this: The call of God. His still, small, clear, and compelling voice answers every question. I believe with all my heart that God is calling me (Pastor Bob: age 40) to move my family (one wife: Age 29 plus tax, three children—ages 11, 9, 6, and one Golden Retriever—age 3 1/2) to the great city of Independence, IA. Without his calling, this move would be foolish. But because of His leading—it makes perfect sense.

Pray for us. Right now, we’re busy packing, praying and preparing for this move as well as continuing a busy ministry in Minnesota. We know very few people in Independence so we’re looking for anyone who would like to be friends with us and friends with God. If you would like to apply, please let us know at oakhills1@msn.com. May God bless you richly. We’ll see you real soon.
