Milo was the next speaker at the retreat, and he was a true blessing of experience to share his personal testimonies of life. In this retreat there was a desire to esteem the older men of our congregation and have these younger men glean from the experiences of their life. One of the problem of so many is the fact that we often forget what we learn, and so I am happy to present these videos as a reminder of the wisdom that has been granted to our congregation through our elders.
Milo has faithfully served the Lord for over 45 years as deacon, elder, Sunday school teacher, and on various school and church boards. Milo and Edie, his wife, met and married in California and have been married for 44 years.
The Carrolls: daughter Kathleen, and son-in-law Robert, are actively involved in serving at Faith Community Church. Robert is an Elder, and Kathleen is church pianist. She also teaches art at Faith Christian Academy. The Raub’s youngest daughter, Karen, is home with the Lord since 1995. Milo and Edie are blessed with six grandchildren, three of whom are the Carroll’s sons, Andrew, Aaron, and Adam. Milo is secretary of the Elder Board and serves on the Missions Committee at Faith Community Church
FCC Men’s Retreat - Part #1

The purpose of the Men’s retreat was to esteem our elders, and the Faith that God has granted those who have walked a life of faith before us at FCC. We as young and older men alike were able to sit at the feet of the Men God has used as a means of practical God granted wisdom now to be shared with all.
John Worley has graced FCC for many years of faithful and wise service, and he continues to be of great service. John retired as Vice President of Development for Avant (formerly GMU). He was responsible for fundraising and communication and served on the management team. For seven years John worked in development for Moody Bible Institute, and functioned in a similar role with GMU from 1997 to his retirement. He served as a senior pastor for 18 of the last 30 years. The churches he has served have varied from small and rural, to a congregation with sixty percent students in a university town, to a large church in the Silicon Valley of California. He has earned Master of Divinity and Master of Theology degrees from Western Seminary and a Bachelor’s degree in political science from Cal State University. John resides in Kansas City with his wife Judy.
When we had the opportunity to have speakers for this Men’s retreat I was pleased that we found a way to video record John’s words of wisdom and play them for the men at the retreat. I believe you will be encouraged by his words and you will see a life evidenced by God’s Grace.
