See Daniel Bibb’s message below:
July 4, 2010 at 4:33am my father Edgar Bibb went home to be with the Lord Jesus Christ. He had suffered a severe stroke suddenly on July 2, rushed to Harbor View Medical Center & pronounced brain dead by the neurosurgeon. My mother, brother, and I, knowing that my father did not want to be kept on life support, decided to remove all life support on July 3 at 3:30pm. He breathed on his own without effort until his last breath at 4:33am on July 4.
We will be holding a memorial service at the Seattle Olympic Hills where he was a pastor for 43 years. Dr. Hugh Smith has graciously agreed to take part in the service since he has been my father's district pastor for 25 years.
God Bless,
Daniel Bibb

"People came in the rain," said the team member in Sri Lanka. "It rained the first two days we showed the JESUS Film, but the people came. The rain did not lessen their hope. As we were conducting follow up visits, we had a chance to talk with a man who was using liquor. We were able to explain to him the love of Jesus. His repentance is cause for joy."
Praise God for the repentant heart of this man in Sri Lanka.
"The angels of heaven rejoice," said the team member in the Philippines. "We enjoy serving God through the JESUS Film ministry. We are able to set up preaching points and see many people coming to the Lord. We know heaven rejoices!"
Praise God for the Kingdom work this team does in the Philippines.
"Pray for us," said Doris in Guatemala. "This place is very difficult for the gospel. But God will help us."
Pray for the work in Guatemala to be fruitful.

Keith Wright - Interim District Superintendent
Dr. Keith Wright |
The “District Advisory Council” (the District Advisory Board, along with the presidents of NYI, NMI and SDMI) announces that Dr. Stan Toler, in consultation with the “District Advisory Council,” has appointed Dr. Keith Wright (Liz) to serve as interim District Superintendent through the assembly year. Keith has served as a pastor, a District Superintendent and, most recently, as interim DS on the Oregon-Pacific District. Please lift Dr. Keith Wright in your prayers for this new assignment.
Since the election of a DS at district assembly did not result in filling that position, the council thoroughly discussed the merits of the appointment of an interim DS over the appointment of a permanent DS. The decision to ask for an appointment of an interim was based on a clear sense that we need some limited time to regroup, re-envision and recommit to the district mission. Dr. Wright will be here to aid us in this process and to give leadership to the essential aspects of the responsibilities of the DS. The “District Advisory Council” is passionate about new directions and new levels of excellence in all areas for our WAPAC District family.
