Pam was born at the Millington Naval Base outside of Memphis, Tennessee, the first child of a Wisconsin navy seaman and a Southern belle. Her early life was marked by many moves around the country as her father pursued a career in broadcasting. After traveling throughout the deep South and the Pacific Northwest, the family finally settled on the Nimipuu (Nez Perce) reservation in Idaho. Pam met her wonderful husband during college, set her roots down deep along the banks of the Clearwater River, and happily began a home and family.

Pam and Aaron educated all five of their children at home. They began homeschooling in 1982 and graduated their youngest daughter in 2006. Pam and Aaron have been married nearly forty years. They have five grown children, two sets of precious in-laws, and two adorable granddaughters.

Pam has long loved to write. She began writing for the local college newspaper and homeschooling group. Later she authored many devotionals for her church. In 2008 she wrote Song in the Night, the true account of her son's injury in Canada, their fight to keep the doctors from pulling the plug, and the subsequent journey back home.

In 2000, Pam became certified as a nurses' aide to care for their injured son. She and her family have operated a certified family home licensed by the state of Idaho since 2000. In 2011, she completed the practical nurse program at Walla Walla Community College and earned her license as an LPN.

Her conversion to the Lord Jesus Christ in 1975 thrust her into an adventure with her Savior that has spanned thirty-six years. Her love for and devotion to life has come from this association with her Creator.

Pam adores her husband, her family, and friends. She enjoys her beautiful little log home, good coffee, the sound of the river at night, and just about any kind of Christian music.
   
The Mission:

On the morning of July 11, 1997, we were sitting in the dining room of a friend's home when he picked up his Bible and read 2 Corinthians 1:1-11 out loud to us. "God gave me this Scripture for you last night," he explained, "but I don't know what you're supposed to do with it."

Neither did we. But six hours later, we would. On July 11, 1997, our son Kevin suffered a devastating spinal cord injury in a fall. That scripture, given to us hours before his injury, has become our lifeline in the twelve years since the accident. It has read nearly like a script, leading us safely through an endless Red Sea of impending doom. The crossing has been long and fearsome - but not less miraculous. Though Kevin literally received a death sentence in Canada, we have been encouraged to trust in "God who raises the dead" (2 Corinthians 1:9)

The miracles have been numerous. Today Kevin has become one of the rare people originally diagnosed with complete high cervical injuries who have regained substantial neurological recovery. He has been officially reclassified but is still mostly disabled, with its attending complications. Our family stands as a testament to God's healing and sustaining power. Today, more than ever, we can say that God is worthy of our trust. As we have walked through the daily valley of the shadow, God has indeed delivered us, cared for us, strengthened us, and graced us with His comfort. It is this comfort we long to share with you.
...who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. ~ 2 Corinthians 1:4 NASB
