Senior Pastor

March 6, 2007

Dear River of Life family and friends,

Warmest greetings in the Lord!

In case you haven’t heard, the “mouth of the river” has a new voice.  My name is Rev. Kerry Bingaman, and as of March 4, 2007 I was elected, and have accepted the call to lead River of Life Assembly of God as the new Senior Pastor.

It excites me to communicate, that the river of God’s life is flowing with fresh springs, and the signs of an amazing undertaking by God are already being seen.

I am full of anticipation, as well as healthy trepidation, concerning what God is calling me to here at River of Life.  Having much anticipation for the kinds of things that only God can, and will do in our midst, I am at the same time, moving with careful steps, marked with humility and holy awe, that God would ask for my participation in such things.

My wife Lily, and I are grateful for the foundations laid, and diligent labors offered by Pastor Seidel and others who have served this Assembly with love before us.  It is only because of God’s work through such servants, that River of Life is now poised and ready for what comes next.

The leaders and I hope that each of you will feel compelled to be a part of the new and exciting things that God is doing here at “the River.”  Lily and I personally look forward to sharing the ride with you, and getting to know all of you along the way.

Blessings,

                                          Pastor Kerry Bingaman
