Tom & My Ordination

Tom & I were ordained. The eve of July 24, 2007 overlooking Jerusalem. Along with us on the same night Jerry and Judy were ordained. It was a great day all around.

The day began with us walking down the Mt of Olives. At the convention that night we saw the live program of the ‘The Covenant’. Later we went out on the balcony of the hotel where a previous wedding had taken place the night before.

our friends Scott & Pat who emceed the night.

As different people came up to share they lit a candle which promptly blew out by the wind
or blew upward.
They anointed our toe, thumb and ear.
Group prayer.
Next Tom anointed Jerry
And I anointed Judy.
Hugs all around.




In my wildest imagination I would have never dream that we would be getting ordained in Jerusalem. Father God is so good to us He gives us our hearts desire in the most awesome ways.

Some people have asked me why this was so important to me and I couldn’t explain why. Then while watching the video ‘The Covenant’ that Pastor Jack Hayford sent us for a Christmas present - which was another one of my heart desires- when I saw Samuel anointing David king as a young boy, I started dancing with joy because that is how I felt about getting anointed. Do you know that David killed Goliath after he had been anointed?

At the Jerusalem Convention they also honored Tom’s 25 years of ministry. Last night, January 27th, they gave us the plaque, pin, a beautiful lead crystal clock and roses. I will write another post about that. What a wonderful night.
