Jane Ann Casey on God's faithfulness in every season of life

Paige and Cynthia sit down with Jane Ann and get a little nostalgic.  Jane Ann is a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.  She is one of the pioneering members of Church on the Rock. As we get ready as a church to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of COTR, she recalls that Pastor Jackie was always looking ahead and leading forward.  As she spent time on staff at Church on the Rock in the early years, Jane Ann remembers the fun and flexibility required in prayer and service as the church grew and developed.  She and her husband, Gary, cherish all many ministry memories made as they worked together later to create Pastor Leadership Conferences with Gateway Missions in 37 nations around the world. She reminded us all that pioneers pray and pioneers are always willing to keep learning!
