Welcome to the table! My guest for this third episode in our summer series is Alva Skiles. Alva brought great insights to the table. She has lived a long life faithfully serving God and others. She has been a teacher, a nurse, a missionary, and a pastor just to name a few of the many roles she has filled. She also happens to be Kimberly’s aunt. 

I loved talking with her. This episode is about a third of the time I spent at the table with Alva. We had a wonderful time talking about her life of teaching and serving. When you finish this episode you might find yourself googling photo’s of Kansas wheat fields. I did!

Alva went to seminary at the age of 43. She accepted the call to pastor her first church before she was even finished. Just incredible! Even now that she’s retired, she’s still serving in Bible Study Fellowship and in her local church. She continues to flourish in all she does. You will love Aunt Alva! 

2 Timothy 2:24-25  The bond-servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if God should grant them opportunity to repent.
