Additional Bio about Rob and Ruth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pastor Rob Morris has served the Hobart area for over 23 years.\u00a0 He was born in Sheridan, Wyoming, and lived the first 16 years around the Bighorn Mountains of North Central Wyoming as a pastor\u2019s kid. The family moved to Montana in 1974 and Rob graduated from High School in Seeley Lake, Montana in 1975.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Rob attended Prairie Bible Institute of Three Hills, Alberta, (80 miles northeast of Calgary). He graduated with a Bachelor of Religious Education degree with a minor in music in 1979. During his senior year at Prairie, he met the love of his life, Ruth (Smoker) Morris and they were married on October 13, 1979. God has blessed them with 3 children, Rick, Ryan, and Rachel, and a beautiful granddaughter, Lianna.\u00a0 They were blessed to be able to live in the Pacific Northwest and raise their children in the Hobart\/Maple Valley area.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Over the 40+ years of ministry, Rob, Ruth, and family have served 5 churches, helping to plant and serve rural churches in Northern California, Montana, and Washington with N.I.C.E. (Northwest Independent Church Extension), the church planting ministry of the Pacific Regional Conference of the IFCA International.\u00a0 Rob felt God\u2019s call to serve rural churches and areas of the Northwest where there are struggling churches or help plant churches in areas where there was no Evangelical Gospel Preaching ministry.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI love the independent nature of the rural people and have seen God work bringing many to Christ as Savior, and growing to serve Him faithfully. It is great to have been in this community for almost 24 years as I am now getting to see the fruits of labor in the lives of the children that the Lord has brought to Himself over the years.\u00a0 Getting to watch them grow, marry, and have families of their own. Seeing them raise their families in the Lord is a great blessing in my life.\u00a0 I hope to be able to meet you personally, and share the wonderful truths of God\u2019s Word with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
