When I saw the news yesterday about the killings in Denver, I took note quickly that the church listed was "Faith Bible Chapel". We have visited the church several times with friends, Geof and Anjila Stimack who live in Arvada (where the church is located). I called Geof wanting to confirm that this was the church and he did. They had actually attended another church where a friend was speaking but Geof's son, Scott, called and alerted them as to what had happened. Geof and Anjila went by the church on their way home and spoke with the missions director. He gave Geof the information that later appeared on the news -- which I thought was interesting since news reports seem to always get something wrong!!
This church's focus is its missions ministry. Geof and Anjila have often hired youth with WYWAM so they wondered at first if it could possibly one of those they knew. But, they didn't recognize the names.
So sad!! So while it may have been far away from us, having been there several times made it seem like it was right next door!!!

So sad. One of the guys was from Alaska but we didn't know him. However we do know several people from here who are involved with YWAM.
