Walk to Iraq and Back

As an outreach of our PWOC, we got people on base to walk for our program

"Walk to Iraq and Back". We had some folks from our base deployed to Iraq. We determined that together we would walk the distance from Mountain Home, ID to Iraq and back. We made our goal and had our party today. This is a group of some of our gals from PWOC who participated. I walked 580 miles. Some of us are wearing our t-shirts from the event.

A Short History of Us

Suzie grew up mostly in the western Treasure Valley of SW Idaho and Eastern Oregon and became a Christian as a child. Ed grew up in Roseburg, Oregon and became a Christian as a teen. We got married in 1986 at the church where we met, now called Wellspring Bible Fellowship. We lived in Germany the first two years while Ed served in the US Army. Greg was born there in 1988. We moved back to Roseburg, OR where Julie was born in 1990. We joined Cadence International (then known as OCSC) in 1991 and finally got to our field, Kirch Goens, Germany, in 1994. Our next assignment was Ft. Lewis, WA from 1997 - 2003. We loved it there. The next place was Fellowship Ranch near Ft. Leonard Wood, MO from 2003- 2006. We now serve Mt. Home AFB, ID. Greg lives and works in San Antonio, Texas. Julie has married Jesse Cornell (in the Air Force) and they live with our grandchildren, Dawson, Laci, and Rachel in Ohio. It is nice to be back here as Suzie still has relatives nearby that she loves dearly.
