Prayer Request
In mid March, we were in Clio, IA with pastor Keith Ault. We all went to his house for supper, which was just across the street from the church, and as we crossed he joked with us that in Clio, if they see three cars on the road that it’s considered a traffic jam. During the meal, he explained that he had recently been diagnosed with lung cancer. It had come as a shock to them, because he had never smoked in his life. In devotions today, Sarah brought to our attention the prayer request that had gone out about him:
From Bud Bierman (Alumni Association)
Please pray for Rev. Keith Ault (’60 grad), who was diagnosed with cancer several months ago. The Aults arrived in Greenville last Friday night to live with their son, and within an hour, Keith went into the hospital in critical condition.
He was very kind and gracious to us, and being with him and at his church was the type of Ministry Team experience you hope you get at every church.

Pastor Ault was my mother-in-law’s pastor there in southern Iowa. He and his wife ministered to the small congregation right up to the end of his earthly life, but make no mistake, although they served a small church pretty far off the beaten path, they were more important to those believers in Clio, Iowa than many pastors could ever hope to be. He was a faithful pastor and a gracious man. He will be missed.
I’m glad you got to minister to them, Philip.
