DARE TO DREAM<br />
BIG TOGETHER<br />
Sixteen years ago the Lord put a dream in my heart for the waters of His<br />
Spirit to rise across our <strong>Network</strong> so that all ships would rise together as He<br />
worked among us.<br />
We often think of this as our dream, but in truth this is<br />
God’s desire – His dream. A part of that dream is the<br />
sense of unity we experience when we see ourselves<br />
as a part of the team God has raised up to impact<br />
Pennsylvania and Delaware with the Gospel of Jesus<br />
Christ. Indeed, none of us can change the world<br />
through our own efforts, but it is truly incredible what<br />
can occur when we join hearts and efforts to reach<br />
those God has placed around us. We experience what<br />
it means to be “Better Together.”<br />
Marjie and I have been honored to serve you as<br />
your Superintendent these past years. Your love<br />
and support for us has created an atmosphere<br />
where God’s presence has been felt and His favor<br />
experienced. As we look to the future, it is our prayer<br />
that our future leadership will experience the same<br />
prayer, support, encouragement and love that you<br />
have afforded us. We thank you for your care for us<br />
and trust you will commit to follow those who will lead<br />
into the future.<br />
Our gratitude goes out to our excellent staff, both<br />
departmental leaders and support personnel at the<br />
Ministry Center and the Conference Center. Their<br />
excellence, passion and loyalty have established a<br />
context where unity is evident. Our presbyters have<br />
led with great integrity and passion for your sections<br />
and churches. Their commitment to God, you and our<br />
fellowship has been a source of great encouragement<br />
to me. Our ministers, churches and followers of Jesus<br />
across our <strong>Network</strong> made serving in this capacity a<br />
joy that provides significance for all we do. Thank<br />
you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers,<br />
love and passion to be people of the Spirit and of the<br />
Word as we have labored together for His Kingdom.<br />
May God continue to grace us with His presence until<br />
He comes again.<br />

What was it like growing up in Pastor/Professor<br />
Tourville’s home?<br />
“It was normal to me. I just figured that everyone’s father<br />
studied a lot and loved (reading) books. Due to Dad’s<br />
occupation, there wasn’t much money. But that was normal<br />
to me as well. I didn’t realize until later that we were rather<br />
poor. I just figured that Dad was tight!”<br />
Tell me more about your dad. How did he come to faith?<br />
“I’m not sure exactly. He was just inclined as a young man<br />
to serve the Lord. When he was in Guam he was an airplane<br />
mechanic. He didn’t hang around soldiers who caroused and<br />
lived that kind of a lifestyle. His friends were those who shared<br />
the faith. In fact, although there wasn’t an atmosphere on<br />
base where religion was cultivated, Dad was able to get his<br />
commanding officer to provide a building for worship.”<br />

How were you called into ministry?<br />
“I was called into ministry during my junior year in high school. My<br />
call to ministry was more of a process than an event – some people<br />
have that critical moment when God speaks to them at the altar<br />
or as a result of an evangelist or missionary’s ministry. That wasn’t<br />
the way it was for me. I was processing my faith and what I believe<br />
(“Do I believe what I believe, or do I believe what I believe because<br />
my parents believe it?”). It was during this time that I came to the<br />
conviction that God was calling me into the ministry.<br />
What was the most outstanding “pastoral” moment that comes<br />
to mind?<br />
“Without a doubt the special times around the altar. The most<br />
prominent memory that comes to mind is at the altar at Trinity in<br />
West Chester. A man named Scott was literally pounding on the floor<br />
while at the altar. I went over to him and said, ‘Scott – is everything<br />
a<strong>lr</strong>ight?’ Scott looks up and says, ‘I’m free – I’m free.’ I didn’t know<br />
that he had been struggling with an addiction. That night he was<br />
delivered. What’s more is that to the best of my knowledge - he lived<br />
it out.”<br />
How about the worst moment?<br />
“I think that I’ve shared it so many times most people will know…<br />
there was a guy who protested me by carrying a cross around the<br />
perimeter of the parking lot of our church.”<br />
How did that situation resolve?<br />
“I was encouraged by some to dismiss him from the church. But he<br />
had a teenage daughter that would have been deeply affected by<br />
that, so I just prayed that the Lord would take care of it. Although he<br />
had threatened to never leave the church, within a few weeks he left<br />
and never came back.”<br />
Do you have a dream for PennDel after you retire?<br />
“Early on in my role as Superintendent, I had a picture in my mind<br />
(a “vision” if you will) of the water level rising, and hoping that all<br />
the ships (our churches) would rise with it. I believe that the dream<br />
that God has for our <strong>Network</strong> goes far beyond me. I have been a<br />
small part of it, but that “dream” involves reaching the people of<br />
our district, our country, and the world for that matter. I think of the<br />
scripture that says, “…when David had served God’s purpose in his<br />
own generation, he fell asleep…(Acts 13:36, NIV).” I don’t plan on<br />
dying soon, but I feel that I’ve served God’s purpose for the time I’ve<br />
been superintendent.”<br />
“The dream I have is that the water will<br />
keep rising, and that all of our churches<br />
will rise with it.”<br />

Marjie Tourville<br />
OUR PASTOR’S WIFE,<br />
OUR FRIEND<br />
By Robin Immel<br />
God gives gifts to the body of Christ: our<br />
salvation, spiritual gifts, ministry gifts, and<br />
even people. He blessed our PennDel<br />
Ministry <strong>Network</strong> in 2002, when Marjie<br />
(Marjorie) became our <strong>Network</strong> pastor’s wife<br />
as her husband (Pastor Steve) was elected<br />
as Superintendent.<br />
The day Pastor Steve was installed as Superintendent<br />
started with a unique challenge for Marjie. Her<br />
morning began with a dental emergency; one that<br />
left her with a front crown missing! Thankfully, Marjie’s<br />
sister (Jeanne Wessman) was a dental assistant for<br />
a Carlisle dentist. Later, when Marjie walked to the<br />
front seat and looked to the platform, she gave Pastor<br />
Steve a full, beaming smile!<br />
Marjie completed her B.A. degree in Leadership<br />
Management at Eastern University at age 46,<br />
and for the past 12 years has been Pastor Steve’s<br />
Administrative Assistant. During the years when Pastor<br />
Steve was lead pastor, Marjie enjoyed both her work<br />
in the corporate world and her role as pastor’s wife. In<br />
West Chester she was Missionette’s Coordinator and<br />
Sectional Missionette Rep.<br />
Across our <strong>Network</strong>, PK/MKs (Pastor and Missionary<br />
Kids) have an accumulation of hand-knitted hats<br />
and scarves. Over the years it has been a passion of<br />
Marjie’s to make and distribute them at the annual<br />
PK/MK Retreat. Another event near to Marjie’s heart is<br />
the Women in Ministry Retreat; an event designed to<br />
bless ministry wives and women in ministry.<br />
When asked what her plans are after retirement she<br />
says, “More time with grandchildren!” Steve and<br />
Marjie have two children: Jason and his wife Rene’<br />
have four children and live in Shrewsberry, PA. Their<br />
daughter Julie and her husband, David, have two<br />
children and live in Springfield, MO. While Marjie is<br />
retiring from one position, great joy is ahead as she<br />
assumes her role as “full-time Me-Maw.”<br />
After my husband, two young daughters and I moved to a new church<br />
and town, I found myself discontented and disillusioned. I had put pressure<br />
on myself that I wasn’t meant to carry. I knew I needed help before<br />
I jeopardized my family, ministry, and future.<br />
After Ministers’ Enrichment, the Lord clearly spoke to me that I needed<br />
a coach NOW! I emailed Marjie and shared my struggle. I asked if she<br />
would recommend a local woman ministry-leader to coach me through<br />
this trying time. I stepped out, was vulnerable, and asked for help. Marjie<br />
responded a day later offering HERSELF to coach me! For the next year,<br />
she and another woman in ministry and I met together monthly; bearing<br />
one another’s burdens and praying for each other.<br />
Marjie went above and beyond the call of duty for me. Marjie gave,<br />
prayed, counseled and coached. My life will never be the same because<br />
you took the time. Thank you, Marjie!<br />
Christa Fowler<br />
I was at a Women in Ministry Retreat in 2002;<br />
the year Pastor Steve became Superintendent.<br />
I was new to the district, and had no friends. At<br />
a jewe<strong>lr</strong>y-making class, a lady asked if she could<br />
sit with me. We chatted easily and began making<br />
our jewe<strong>lr</strong>y.<br />
Someone announced, “Ladies, this is our new Superintendent<br />
and his wife.” The lady beside me stood up and smiled at everyone. I<br />
never expected that someone in her position would be nice to me. She<br />
was the superintendent’s wife, but was being a “regular” person like<br />
me. That was the beginning of a treasured friendship with dear Marjie!<br />
Darleen Newman<br />
The hats and scarves that Marjie made were one<br />
of the things I looked forward to most every year!<br />
PK/MK Retreat was my favorite PennDel event of<br />
the whole year! It was such a great feeling walking<br />
into dinner the first night and seeing all the hard work Marjie had done<br />
just for us PKs/MKs. It made us feel so special.<br />
Each hat and scarf came with a scripture tied to them with a piece of<br />
yarn. I still have them as well as the hats and scarves I collected over<br />
the years. That simple gesture meant the world to me growing up and<br />
so does Marjie!<br />
Marjie sowed seeds into our lives with each stitch she knitted.<br />
Marjie is incredible!<br />

DARE TO DREAM BIG...<br />
TOGETHER<br />
What I want to write about to you today is<br />
something that God desperately desires for<br />
his people…UNITY.<br />
There are two things that the enemy fears and works day and night to<br />
undo. He wants to fight against our dreams and the dreams we dare to<br />
fulfill together!<br />
It is something which Jesus himself prayed for just before He went to the<br />
cross. John 17:20-21 says, “I am praying not only for these disciples but<br />
also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that<br />
they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father,<br />
and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you<br />
sent me.”<br />
Unity is the one thing that the Bible says will convince people the church<br />
has something the world does not. It is one of the big things that the Holy<br />
Spirit is meant to accomplish.<br />
When I speak of unity, let me say it straight that I’m not talking about:<br />
• UNION: when you are bonded with someone with whom you may<br />
not have a common bond.<br />
• UNIFORMITY: when everyone looks alike and thinks alike.<br />
• UNANIMITY: where everybody ought to always agree on everything.<br />
I don’t expect either uniformity nor unanimity to exist in our church.<br />
But what I do want, what God desires and what we must have, is unity!<br />
By unity, I mean a oneness of heart, a similarity of purpose, and<br />
an agreement on truth. This is how I believe the church needs to<br />
“Dare to Dream Big Together!”<br />
The enemy’s strategy to defeat the church is to ‘’divide and conquer,”<br />
which is no match for a united church, no matter what size the church<br />
may be. Satan cannot defeat a united church that Dares to Dream<br />
Big Together because there is no place where he can attack the body.<br />
Every part is covered.<br />
By unity,<br />
I mean a<br />
oneness of<br />
heart,<br />
a similarity<br />
of<br />
purpose,<br />
and an<br />
agreement<br />
on truth.<br />
A big part of Steve and Marjie’s legacy will be what they have spoken over us, how<br />
they have modeled the way for us and reminded us that we are “Better Together,”<br />
and we will be… if we continue to Dare to Dream Big…Together!!<br />

MIRIAM OWEN, 92, went home to be with the Lord<br />
on February 2, <strong>2018</strong>. Miriam assisted her late husband,<br />

Robert traveled extensively spreading the gospel<br />
message.<br />
SHARON KOLENDA, 48, went home to be with<br />

She is survived by her husband, John and five children<br />
at home. She is the daughter of Janice Harding and<br />
the late Rev. Harold Harding.<br />
Pastor Steve and I became presbyters together in 1997. A few<br />
years later Pastor Steve became Assistant to the Superintendent,<br />
AG Intercultural Ministries Director, and of course PennDel District<br />
Superintendent. It has been a special pleasure to serve with Dr. Stephen<br />
Tourville! His permission-giving style has exemplified transformational<br />
leadership that is both Spirit-filled and pastoral. He and Marjie have<br />
cared for our churches and ministry family with personal attention<br />
despite the heavy demands of the role they have fulfilled. Our lives and<br />
ministries are richer because of the manner in which they have served!<br />

<strong>2018</strong> MISSIONS PROJECT PARTNERSHIP!<br />
FARES FOR MISSIONS<br />
For the past three decades, Fares for Missions has assisted our<br />
career missionaries by supplementing their “00” account. Once<br />
a newly appointed missionary schedules 10 services and raises<br />
$750 per month in support, they can begin to draw a salary from<br />
their account in Springfield. Many missionaries will initially drive<br />
that account into the red because they are taking out more than<br />
they have received. It takes weeks and months of itineration for a<br />
missionary to get back into the black. PennDel missionaries have<br />
the advantage of a loving and supportive <strong>Network</strong> that infuses<br />
$5,000 into their operational budget from Fares For Missions.<br />
Additionally, Fares for Missions also provides assistance with<br />
outbound airfare (hence “Fares for Missions!”) for our missionaries.<br />
This relieves some of the pressure, and ultimately enables our<br />
missionaries to get to the field months before their counterparts<br />
from other Districts.<br />
THANK YOU for your prayerful consideration of our <strong>2018</strong><br />
PennDel World Missions Project.<br />
MA2GO Fund<br />
The Missionary Associate program was initially developed to<br />
provide a longer-term missionary opportunity for those wishing<br />
to serve our missionaries for a time period greater than an AIM<br />
or MAPS assignment. The Missionary Associate program gained<br />
traction and has now become a pipeline for individuals, couples,<br />
or families who may feel that career missions is a distinct possibility<br />
for their life. Many are in the process of obtaining ministerial<br />
credentials. Jeff Hartensfeld reported that nearly half of<br />
the career missionary candidates last year were first missionary<br />
associates.<br />
There is sacrifice involved in serving as an MA. I know of three<br />
MA’s who sold their home and used the proceeds to help fund<br />
their budget. That is the level of commitment being displayed by<br />
these missions-minded warriors. Would you consider a partnership<br />
with either a one time gift or monthly support for the<br />
MA2GO fund?<br />

I was in the middle of a family crisis and I called the<br />
district office. Pastor Steve got on the phone and<br />
took the time to listen and pray with me. The crisis hit<br />
while I was graduating from UVF and necessitated me<br />
stepping into the role of pastor at the church I was<br />
helping – at the age of 22. I am so grateful for the<br />
wisdom and prayers of Pastor Steve.<br />

You pastored this district as a father. During one particularly<br />
difficult time in our lives when someone was calling you and<br />
making accusations against us, you called me and said you<br />

3. Lance knows what it’s like to “follow a legend” in a ministry position, and so does Steve.<br />
I hope I’m doing it half as well as you have done!<br />
4. Lorie loved Marjie’s leadership for the Women in Ministry events. They were fun, laid back and<br />
truly refreshing!<br />
5. We love you both, and so appreciate the class and dignity which you have conducted yourselves.<br />
You have set a great example for us all!<br />

HOME MISSIONS PROJECT OFFERING <strong>2018</strong><br />
Jason & Jodi Lamer<br />
The Belle Vernon Dream<br />
As a church rooted and planted in Fayette County,<br />
Faith Assembly has sensed a call to be a countywide<br />
church that is aware of and addressing the<br />
major issues of our area. Through prayer and<br />
conversation with other Fayette County churches,<br />
four specific areas have been identified as<br />
strongholds over our community. Those specific<br />
strongholds are poverty, dysfunctional homes,<br />
spirit of religion and empty wells of addiction. In<br />
2016, there was a strong desire to move beyond<br />
prayer for the stronghold of addiction and to begin “getting our hands dirty” in the matter. As a<br />
church, we began to ask God for a piece of property that would become a home to a ministry and<br />
to a small group of men who would become discipled and changed by the Spirit of God.<br />
When it comes to the drug epidemic in Fayette County, our desire is to see broken lives restored.<br />
The plan is to begin a discipleship home first and then establish a church in the same community.<br />
In the Recovery Phase, we would open a home to men who are willing to commit to a six-month<br />
program that would integrate discipleship classes, a work program and support group. The work<br />
program would include a cleaning service that is made available to area churches for financial<br />
support. In the Church Phase, the church would launch as an extension of Faith Assembly with a<br />
campus pastor serving on-site.<br />
In a miraculous answer to prayer, Presbyter Tim Bunney and the Southwest Suburban Home<br />
Missions Committee offered us a recently donated property that includes a church, apartments and<br />
classrooms. We are grateful for this generous gift. Our next step is to begin the renovation on the<br />
property. We ask for your help in seeing the Dream become a Reality in Belle Vernon!<br />
WE NEED Y<br />
They are big dreams, and<br />
we need your help. I invite<br />
you to partner with these<br />
two great Home Missions<br />
Projects.<br />
YOU CAN SUPPORT<br />
THESE CHURCH PLANTS<br />
IN THESE THREE WAYS:<br />
PRAY that Philly Dream<br />
Center Church locates a<br />
facility and gets the funding<br />
they need to move into it.<br />
Pray for the establishment of<br />
the Belle Vernon Discipleship<br />
Home and church plant.<br />

CHURCH PLANTING AND DEVELOPMENT<br />

I have loved Pastor Steve’s leadership principle,<br />
“What is important to you, is important to us.”<br />
Pastor Steve has definitely exemplified this by partnering and praying with<br />
church planters, parent churches, sections and church planting networks.<br />
• He has championed PennDel’s investment of over<br />
$2.3 million for new churches during his tenure.<br />
• He has empowered the C3 network that has blessed<br />
apostolic, catalytic leaders to plant many churches.<br />
• The fruit of that is 191 new churches opened under<br />
Pastor Steve’s leadership!<br />
We have been BETTER TOGETHER in planting new churches…<br />
thank you Pastor Steve!<br />

Philly Dream Center Church<br />
As Urban Missionaries, we feel a strong call to one<br />
of the neediest parts of the city, North Philadelphia<br />
and Kensington. Here are some of the ministries<br />
that have been launched in our first year of ministry<br />
in these communities:<br />
S.H.I.N.E (Spreading Hope In Neighborhoods<br />
Everywhere) is reaching children with a sidewalk<br />
Sunday School. One of the locations is nicknamed<br />
“Needle Park” because of the notorious fame for a<br />
park where drug dealers and addicts congregate.<br />
In the midst of this, there are many unattended<br />
children playing at the park. On a weekly basis, we<br />
reach these children, as well as some guardians,<br />
with this outreach.<br />
Mobile Food Pantry distributes free groceries<br />
to needy families and seniors. Philadelphia is the<br />
poorest “big city” in the nation. Nearly 25% of<br />
children go many mornings and nights without<br />
a proper meal. This is why we purchased a large<br />
truck to distribute much needed food throughout<br />
the most needy neighborhoods of Philadelphia.<br />
Midnight Angels is a ministry that Shirrie leads<br />
with a team of women who reach women in high<br />
human trafficking areas including strip clubs. The<br />
team drops off gift baskets, prays for the women,<br />
and invites them to a Bible study.<br />
David and Shirrie<br />
Dominguez & Family<br />
WE NEED<br />
YOUR HELP…<br />
We have reached a point where we are<br />
in need of purchasing or leasing a facility<br />
where our church can move forward<br />
with the dream that God has given us…<br />
launching community worship services,<br />
offering a School of Urban Missions<br />
cohort, hosting Philadelphia short<br />
term mission trips and internships, and<br />
developing micro industries (Philly needs<br />
“Double J”- Jesus and Jobs).<br />

YOUTH ALIVE MISSIONARY<br />
Lee Rogers<br />

…the greatest forward move…<br />
By Lee Rogers<br />
“Come on back!” my youth leader shouted as I backed the church van into position. We had just wrapped up a powerful<br />
retreat and needed to get things loaded to head home. I was just about in position when I felt the rear wheels slide<br />
and sink into some mud. I switched gears and tried to move forward, but there was no avoiding it—I was stuck! The van<br />
needed to be pulled out by another vehicle with more traction and more power.<br />
It’s not uncommon to feel stuck in life; experiencing stagnation,<br />
searching for a way forward. The power and traction we need is<br />
found in an encounter with the Holy Spirit! One of the best ways<br />
to encounter the Holy Spirit is in gathering with other believers—<br />
at the altar, seeking God alongside the community of faith. That’s<br />
what youth camps, conventions, retreats, and rallies are all about.<br />
One of the hallmarks of<br />
Assemblies of God youth<br />
ministries is the large<br />
event: camps, conventions,<br />
retreats, and rallies.<br />
In these settings, when<br />
we’re in one accord and in<br />
one place, the Holy Spirit<br />
moves in powerful and<br />
life-transforming ways.<br />
This is how AG youth<br />
ministries were birthed—hundreds of young people from dozens<br />
of churches were gathering together for youth rallies as early as<br />
1925. 1 These gatherings sparked the formation of youth groups<br />
in churches, and youth rallies began to sweep through the fellowship<br />
across the country.<br />
Less than two years later, at the General Council of 1927, the<br />
Assemblies of God adopted a resolution to officially endorse and<br />
encourage the formation of youth ministries at a church and district<br />
level. 2 Fred Vogler, who went on to become the Assistant Superintendent<br />
of the Fellowship, said the nationwide formation of youth<br />
groups and ministries was “the greatest forward move we have<br />
had in Pentecost since the founding of the General Council.” 3<br />
We continue to believe the greatest forward move happens when<br />
our young people experience the Holy Spirit in transformational<br />
encounters that gives the power and traction to help them get unstuck;<br />
when God births within them new vision for His mission in the<br />
emerging generation! This summer and fall, make plans to join us for<br />
powerful encounters with the Holy Spirit at Youth Camp and Fearless:<br />
One Day to Make a Difference. These events feature powerful<br />
times of seeking the Holy Spirit, casting vision, and equipping young<br />
people to impact the world for Christ. We are trusting God for the<br />
greatest move forward in this generation!<br />

as visionaries has been timely and<br />
profound. It will continue to be our<br />
honor to imitate your faith. We wish<br />
you God’s very best as you continue to<br />
influence others for Christ!<br />

PERMISSION TO<br />
DREAM<br />
I had only served the District Ministries Center for ten months when a<br />
new Superintendent was voted into office. Needless to say, not knowing<br />
Pastor Steve Tourville’s leadership style, I was a little nervous. As<br />
we began to work together Pastor Steve gave me a tremendous gift.<br />
He not only gave me permission to dream for my department, but also<br />
inspired me to dream big...God-sized big. Pastor Steve never dictated<br />
what I should do; instead he gave me the resources and encouragement<br />
needed. Many times Pastor Steve would unveil a bigger dream in<br />
front of me, believing that I could make it happen.<br />
Out of all my ministry experiences, these last 16 years have been the<br />
best of my life. In my darkest days, when I lost my wife to cancer, Pastor<br />
Steve helped me to dream big and see a great future both personally<br />
and in ministry. I know that God places visions and dreams in our heart,<br />
but I am thankful for those whom God brings into our lives to help<br />
make those big dreams a reality. Thank you, Pastor Steve, you have<br />
made me better, and indeed we are better together.<br />

GOD INSPIRED<br />
DREAMS<br />
When we hear “dreams” mentioned, we might assume someone ate<br />
too much pizza or ice cream before bed. Perhaps we picture a parent or<br />
educator encouraging children to use their imagination. Dreaming big<br />
certainly conjures up the thoughts of expanding our hopes and aspirations<br />
to believe for an increase, a greater outcome, or a positive change.<br />
All of these would be true and valid concepts.<br />
However, my attention turns to the verse in Joel 2:28-29, where the<br />
prophet declares with great authority and divine inspiration,<br />
“I will pour out my Spirit upon all people,<br />
your sons and daughters will prophesy.<br />
Your old men will dream dreams, and your young<br />
men will see visions. In those days I will pour out my<br />
Spirit even on servants – men and women alike.”<br />
God is clearly inviting all people of all ages, genders and status to allow<br />
God’s Spirit to speak, reveal and demonstrate His power through us!<br />
These are not just people with aspirations of a better future, but they are<br />
people anointed by the power of God to be used in the spiritual gifts.<br />

People who dream<br />
under the inspiration<br />
of the Holy Spirit are<br />
those who are being<br />
given the gift of faith<br />
to believe God for<br />
the impossible, to see<br />
miracles happen and the power of God<br />
displayed in our gatherings. When we<br />
come together, we need a vision for what<br />
is upon God’s heart to be accomplished. I<br />
am very thankful that while serving under<br />
Pastor Stephen Tourville, I have been<br />
granted the freedom to DREAM BIG.<br />
He has always encouraged me to obey<br />
God’s leading and in doing so, we have<br />
seen tremendous growth. Let’s keep<br />
dreaming!<br />

ROYAL RANGERS<br />

DREAMING BIG<br />
Dreams do come true! For over<br />
30 years the PennDel Royal Rangers were an<br />
entity without a home. Moving around from<br />
place to place, holding events at locations we<br />
could find available to meet our need, renting<br />
property, using Boy Scout Camps, utilizing farms,<br />
or camping on church properties. Every event<br />
required that we haul everything there, set it<br />
up, construct our stages and then tear it all back<br />
down again after the event. We always dreamt of<br />
having our own camp, but couldn’t find a way to<br />
make that happen. We never stopped dreaming<br />
though and always held on to that dream.<br />
Through the efforts of a handful of visionary<br />
leaders we finally realized our dream in 2000,<br />
acquiring a camp of our own in a place called<br />
“Honey Grove,” no less, how apropos. Realizing<br />
that dream, we have now moved on to other<br />
dreams. A dream that we will develop the premier<br />
camp for Royal Ranger boys to come, have fun,<br />
get trained, and be mentored to launch out into<br />
the world as Christ-like Servant leaders. We also<br />
dream about having a camp where families can<br />
come and enjoy a serene setting and relax and<br />
fellowship and experience the move and power<br />
of God. Our dream doesn’t stop there, however.<br />
Since we have been having Pow Wows over<br />
the last 50 years, we estimate that over 3,000<br />
boys have given their hearts to the Lord. We are<br />
dreaming that through our camp and our efforts<br />
that we will double that number over the next 50<br />
years. Too big of a dream? Not with our God, not<br />
with men of vision inspired by God.<br />

When Pastor Steve asked me to become the<br />
District Girls’ Ministries Director, his guidance<br />
and advice were priceless. Each time I asked<br />
for advice, he gave it without making me out of<br />
touch in my leadership.<br />
The Women in Ministry Retreat has become the<br />
highlight of the year for many of us. Each year<br />
not only did Marjie plan for us to have a fun<br />
and refreshing weekend, but it was filled with<br />
incredible times of friendship and connections.<br />
She had a way of making each feel important<br />
and valuable.<br />
I know God’s ways are perfect.<br />
(Psalm 18:30). I know that<br />
He has a great plan for them<br />
and for the PennDel Ministry<br />

continue in our <strong>Network</strong>.<br />

DISTRICT CALENDAR<br />
I can attest personally to how<br />
Pastor Steve Tourville has<br />
influenced my leadership as can<br />
many of the leaders in our ministry.<br />
His unwavering support and encouragement have<br />
led us to greater heights and allowed us to realize<br />
our dreams and set goals for even greater ones.<br />
His dedication to his position and his support of<br />
our ministry has inspired me to push through those<br />
times when I felt like it was time to step aside.<br />
We will miss his leadership and fellowship, but his<br />
inspiration will continue on. While we can look back<br />
at our accomplishments we are reminded in scripture<br />
to not look to the past, but anticipate the future!<br />
Phil. 3:13. We continue to pray and dream big<br />
together that many more doors to the souls of boys<br />
and men in our sphere of influence will be opened<br />
and give us the ability and opportunity to continue<br />
changing lives for His kingdom.<br />

DARED TO DREAM BIG<br />
A little more than 10 years ago, under<br />
the leadership of District Superintendent,<br />
Stephen R. Tourville and the Executive<br />
Presbytery, the PennDel District Council<br />
voted to spin-off its church loan fund<br />
into a separate 501 C3 non-profit<br />
corporation. As a result of that decision,<br />
Heritage Investment Services Fund was<br />
born. Because Pastor Steve and his board of directors<br />
Dared to Dream Big, a ministry that served Assemblies of<br />
God churches and investors in two states for its first 27<br />
years now serves AG churches and investors in 31 states<br />
and internationally. On behalf of HIS Fund’s staff, Board<br />
of Directors, investors and borrowing churches, I wish<br />
to extend my sincere thanks and deep appreciation to<br />
Superintendent Tourville for the key role he has played in<br />
helping HIS Fund grow and bless the Kingdom of God not<br />
only in the United States, but around the world!<br />
