Often it is difficult to sum up a person’s life within a few words, but plainly put, Don Oberg was “simply unforgettable.”

With his high-pitched voice, a small build, and a hearing impairment, he did not seem like a man destined to accomplish great things for the Kingdom of God.

For years, he had gone from church to church, searching for the truth. He eventually found our ministry through Victory In Grace television programming. What he loved most about being part of this ministry was the clear presentation of the gospel. This retiree loved telling people all about the blood of Jesus. It is on record that he won 616 souls to Christ on Victory In Grace phones. Who knows how many other souls he led to Christ during his lifetime.

Sadly, Don passed away recently. However, we praise God he is in Glory. Leaving behind a legacy of what God can do with a heart for souls, Don is a man we will miss and remember. We look forward to the day when we will see him again in Heaven’s splendor.

December 16, 1928 – January 16, 2012

Imagine for a moment two beautiful infants sleeping soundly in their mother’s arms. What if one of those children was destined to spend a hopeless eternity of pain and suffering in Hell, while the other was given the bright future of an eternity in Heaven? Would a God Who predestinated this be worth trusting or serving?

Friends, we live in a day when many believe people were born with no choice about their salvation. They feel some are predestined to accept Christ and go to Heaven, while others whom the Lord did not choose for His own will go to Hell. With this viewpoint, grace would be a hope for some and a curse for others.

Praise God, there was one payment made for the sin of all mankind, and it was all by God’s grace. Each of us has been given the opportunity to choose. The Lord has offered to us salvation paid in full if we simply place our trust in Him and His shed blood on the cross. There was no limited atonement — no blood-clot on Calvary’s cross. God in His wondrous grace offers hope for all. There is no person created to go to Hell, and no child born without a choice. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4).

If you are ready to learn how to better share the gospel of grace, the hope for all, please join us at this year’s Grace Conference, July 26th–27th. It will uplift and strengthen your faith while preparing you to reach the world with the eternal hope of salvation.

After meeting at Quentin Road’s former Wilderness Camp by Leech Lake in Minnesota, Dan Reehoff and Aimee Kahara began a journey that would lead them to accomplish great things together for Christ. They are now happily married, with the addition of two sons, Bryce (age 10) and Cole (age 8).

While attending Dayspring, Dan faithfully worked in the print shop, and Aimee was a preschool teacher. After graduating, Dan became the director of Reformers Unanimous and a part of Quentin Road’s travel department, and Aimee became an office worker and an integral part of the music and radio ministries of Victory In Grace.

After the couple graduated and in the ensuing years, the Lord began preparing them for their own ministry. They began DaySpring Baptist Church on May 31st, 2009. After gathering in a hotel meeting room for over two years, they now lease a beautiful building three evenings a week to accommodate their growing ministry. In addition, they recently expanded their services to include Sunday School and an addictions program.

Pastor Dan and Aimee share, “Along with grounding us solidly in God’s Word and a clear gospel message, Dayspring gave us an extremely well-rounded experience in ministry. We learned how to work with people, take on projects, and create a vision for outreach and evangelism.”

Please keep the Reehoff family in your prayers as they continue to shine as beacons of light for Christ.

High school sweethearts Jon and Kristin married while attending Dayspring Bible College. They have since been blessed with two beautiful children: Kate, age 5, and Luke, age 2.

While attending Dayspring, both Jon and Kristin were an active part of the ministries of the Quentin Road Bible Baptist Church. Jon worked in the maintenance department and later as a television editor for Victory In Grace. Kristin served in the Christian preschool, finance office, and as the high school volleyball coach.

Today, God continues to use this couple as a shining testimony to His glory. Jon, who is currently studying for a Master’s degree in theology, is now the associate pastor, high school supervisor, and basketball coach at Quentin Road, while Kristin serves as the church secretary.

Pastor Jon and Kristin share,

We are so blessed by having attended Dayspring Bible College. We were both impacted by the clear teaching of God’s Word and the examples of godly faculty members who invested their time in us. We will take with us the experiences and truths we have learned wherever our Lord leads.

Please keep Pastor Jon and Kristin Tanney in your prayers as they further seek to glorify the Lord together.
