New Pastor for Elgin-Enterprise District

The Enterprise district welcomed new pastor Steve Gilmore in July.

Gilmore and his wife, Merrilou, who has worked at Walla Walla College for 10 years, are excited about the future of this district. Through several miracles, the Lord has shown them clearly that this is where He wants them to be. Steve’s business sold the first week it was advertised. The Gilmores put their home up for sale, and the first prospective buyer purchased it within 18 hours. They marvel at all the miracles and blessings that have come in order for them to make this transition in their lives. They are looking forward to ministering together with the Enterprise and Elgin church members to make these communities ready to meet Jesus. After the age of 30, Steve found and accepted Jesus and was baptized in 1981. Merrilou's prayers for her husband had been answered. He has been sharing and following Jesus ever since.

The Gilmores went to Walla Walla College in 1983 with four children. Upon completion of college they served in the Upper Columbia and Nevada-Utah conferences. They took a leave of absence for their family and parents' health issues, but even during the leave Steve shared his love for the Lord with others through evangelistic meetings and preaching where needed.
