welcome! and 1960's photos + Biblical inspiration
4
welcome! here are a few pics from our family's Iowa City Years (most of the 1960's)...I was born there myself in 1967..as were my older brother and sister...while my dad was starting out as a CRC pastor (Christian Reformed 5
Church)...around 1970 we moved back to Grand Rapids (Michigan) where we stayed for all of the 70's and half of the 80's at which time we moved to southern California where I remain today (come & go)...albeit didn't actually spend much time here until late 1990's...at which time I started semi-residence here..; but this is about Iowa, not California...and if you can do the math you can figure I can't remember much personally about the Iowa years apart from what I see in the photos . Nonetheless, I cherish the Iowa City years and will always have a bit of Iowa in my heart & soul.

"If, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to Him
through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life." 75
Romans 5:10
grandpa Kok (yellow shirt) visits us in Iowa City...like father like son, my late grandpa & my dad were/are both CRC Pastors...and I'm a pastor/evangelist too...albeit never got to the point of being ordained by the CRC...I'm satisfied to be ordained by God alone !
