Don and Corky met in Lakeside in the summer of 1949 and were married two years later. Every summer thereafter, Lakeside was a place for family, faith and fun as they raised their four children and spent their lives serving the Lord Jesus Christ.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
Isaiah 6:8
