Rod and Lauretta Smith

I am sitting in an MDiv class recalling our first meeting. We were with Abigail and we had already met Christina during one of our previous visits. Steve the impression you made was unforgettable. Well, what you wore was unforgettable. You had on one of your infamous SWEATERS! And the New Sweater you wore to the Pastor's Christmas pater in the section made many pastor's Covet....lol!

On a serious note, the impact of your ministry in Chadron was invaluable. You hit the ground running following your wedding to Christina (If I recall you two had been married for about a week) and "got to" live in a sweaty boys dorm room for the next two weeks of camp....i am sure that was an unforgettable experience! The Youth, Children, and adults of CCC fell in love with you both. What a joy it is to follow your ministry since you have left Chadron. Happy Birthday Steve, and I pray God's continued guidance, provision, and empowerment will lead you and your family into great victory!

We love you and are Proud of you!
