John Westerholm update

Here's John's bio from his church's homepage...

Dad

Pastor John Westerholm has been Senior Pastor at Valley Bible Church since January, 1990. He is a graduate of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and has been in pastoral ministry since June 1975 previously serving EFCA churches in Chicago and Nebraska.

Pastor John's passion is to let loose the Word of God to impact people's lives as we all grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. He is the primary preacher/teacher here at Valley. He was involved in beginning the discipleship groups that the Lord has powerfully used to impact all we do here at Valley. He traveled overseas to Thailand this past November to teach church planting pastors and evangelists from the Lahu tribal group of Northern Thailand. John's vision is to see the message of the Gospel spread from Valley Bible Church to the entire Connecticut Valley and on to "the ends of the earth."

John and his wife Linda have been married to each other for over thirty years have two grown sons; Matthew who is married to Lisa, and Joshua. Matthew and Lisa presented John and Linda with their first grandchild, Ethan John, born May, 2002. Matthew, Lisa, Ethan, and Joshua all live in the Chicago area. John's favorite ice cream flavor is peppermint stick and if you ever want him to join you in a round or two of golf, he is more than willing. He is also a sports fan. Some think he is a little crazy about the Cleveland Indians, the Boston Celtics, the Nebraska Cornhusker football team and UCONN basketball, men or women.
