The Story of Excellence and the Story of the Two Kens: This review is not about the congregation or organization *per se.* I write today to cite Pastor Ken Ford for Excellence in ministerial duty. During a family medical crisis (several of them over the past year) & subsequent memorial service, he stepped into the gap in his capacity as Mason County Fire Department Chaplain on MANY levels and helped the people who were hurting the most. He went *way* above and beyond the call of duty and was God honoring every step of the way. The other issues mentioned by Ken H.? I don't know. I didn't witness them myself nor did I see evidence let alone documentation of them. I hope that Ken H. is mistaken. But if he is correct, then the truth about it will leak out. No one can hide hate for long. The evidence that I saw was just about the exact opposite. At the memorial, a 60 something year old cross-dresser (a neighbor of my deceased family member) was present. Nobody said a negative word to him (that I heard). Pastor Ken Ford sat with him and other family members for a long while. And he (the cross dresser) was there from beginning to clean up. I would think that if anyone had hassled him, we (my wife, myself, my family) would have heard about it and stopped it. You would think that if he were hassled, he might well have left. Again, I hope that Ken H. is mistaken. If he's correct, I hope that the problem(s) will be amended forthwith. Again, kudos to pastor Ken Ford. read more
