Hi! Karen Salas here...From my seat, at my desk and in the Body, I have the rare privilege of seeing you lovely people live your lives with HIM. I am in awe of you! This month it is my privilege to invite Miles and Roxanne Fisher to our newsletter lead story. I asked them to share their story this month of February as a testimony of true love...devoted to HIM and married 37 1/2 years!
We have been members of Los Altos Grace Brethren Church since 1988. Our four children - Elizabeth, Wesley, Andrew, and Jesse - attended preschool through 6th grade at Los Altos Brethren, went on to Brethren Christian High School, and received their degrees at Christian Universities (Grace College, Calif Baptist Univ, and Vanguard Univ). Three of our kids and 5 grandchildren live in our Westminster neighborhood; Andrew's family with 2 grandchildren live in Paia, Maui, HI :(

Putting my business degree to use I was an insurance broker for 23 years with Farmers Insurance.

I remember telling her I was a Christian because I had attended church growing up (I didn't realize then that church attendance did not make me a Christian). Two weeks after her salvation experience, she and her 19 year old girl friend were killed in a car accident on the 10 freeway by a drunk driver. I was, to say the least, very shocked and distressed... read more here...

Gospel Choir 2016
Gospel Choir 2016 Spring semester has started!
Thank you so much for your prayers and supports! Our Gospel Choir practice started from yesterday. Some students went back to Japan, so we had some change. But God is good! He sent 5 new people to us last night. Please pray that I can build good and deeper relationship with the members and introduce God in His timing without hesitation. Some members and I also started reading Bible together before the practice. Please pray that they can accept Jesus as their Savior.
