Happy Birthday


Hi KawanaLife,

I hope and pray that you are well and life is extraordinary.

This Sunday, we celebrate 24 years of incredible ministry in, and through, KawanaLife.

As I have reflected, this week, on my 16+ years at KawanaLife, I’m blessed and amazed at the incredible things we’ve been able to be a part of. I’m blessed by the journey I’ve had with so many people – people from all different backgrounds and age groups. What an experience it has been! Today, I want to stop and thank the Lord for all He has done. I want to thank the Lord for these amazing people –

  • Peter Thompson and his family, who began the original church plant

  • John and Irene Tanner, and so many Pines’ students

  • Brian and Christine Willersdorf (it was Brian who gave me a call and invited me to move to the coast)

  • Dean and Christine Thomas, who were with us from 2004-2008, before they left to plant LIVE Church in Meridan Plains

To God be the glory for all He has done. I’m excited about what He still has in store for us.

Thank you for being on this journey.

God bless,
Dony
