(Picture--Geoffrey Paddock and Randy Ingmire)On November 16, 2008, at Valley View Christian Church, near Wichita Kansas, Mitch Morrow was ordained to the Christian ministry. Mitch was a student of mine at MCC and then was involved in several projects around our house and at the Zeandale Community Church. So when Mitch asked my wife and I to attend his ordination we were glad to do so.

Mitch is a man with a servant's heart. His concern the entire time I have known him is to serve others. I am confident he will go far in the ministry with his servant's spirit. At the moment he is ministering to the community of Vici Oklahoma which just happens to be one of our daughters-in law's home town. A number of her relatives attend the church. Mitch is already doing a good job there.
Randy Ingmire, Vice President of Academic Affairs, gave the charge to Mitch. His message "Fire in the Belly" reflected on the importance of passion, compassion, and Jesus' passion when it came to being a minister.
My oldest son, Geoffrey, and myself took part in the "laying on of hands" ceremony. It was a beautiful service and we pray for Mitch that he has a long and successful career.
