 Bill Braun
Bill has learned over the years to never say "never." He once said "no" to living in Fresno, and has now lived in Fresno since 1988. He once said "no" to full-time Christian service, and can now count 3 years of service with MCC in Kentucky (1985-88) and 16 years of service with CCCMB in Clovis (1992-). The impetus for some of these changes can be traced to a year of intentional and focused scripture reading, and a wonderful two-week vacation in Hawaii where life issues and service to God crystallized on the beach. With thanks to God for bringing his wife, Joyce, into his life, and for the blessings of a daughter, Margaret, and her husband, Jaime, and daughter, Maya, Bill looks forward to further service in the kingdom of God as lived out each day at CCCMB.

Mary Anne IsaakLately, I’ve been learning to watercolor. First, the planning--imagining the picture and sketching it out in pencil. Then the risky, fun part --applying paint to wet paper. It’s the unplanned blending-running-mixing of colors that creates the most beautiful aspects of the painting. For me, being a pastor is a little like watercolor painting. The Scriptures fire my imagination of what the kingdom of God can look like in our congregation. Sketching out the picture comes through conversations and careful planning. And then, like watercolor, beauty is created in the unplanned blending-running-mixing of ideas, dreams, needs and gifts of everyone in church The details of my life become a part of the bigger picture of God at work through the church. I grew up on the Canadian prairies and married Jon, the love of my life, in 1985. We have two children who have left home for their own adventures in college. Working with our denominational mission, MBMSI, Jon and I have lived in Belgium, Congo and Russia before settling in Fresno in 1998. Email

 Trent Voth
Trent is still getting used to having SO many things SO close… the beach, the mountains… Wal-Mart… Coming from Kansas, Trent was used to dedicating significant amounts of time to ever reaching these rare and exciting locals, but now he’s overjoyed at being so near to them. This 25 year old Kansan, and Tabor College Alum (07’- Go Bluejays!) has come out to pursue a degree in New Testament studies after spending a year as Associate Pastor at Ebenfeld MB Church in Hillsboro, KS. Trent’s been plugging into the MB Conference in a variety of different ways like serving with Tabor’s worship band i268 or as MC of the Anaheim 07 National Youth Convention. He greatly enjoys snowboarding, and soccer and is overjoyed to be a part of the ministry going on a College Community- a church he’s held in high regard for some time now. Email
