Pastor Ball and his wife, Barbara, come to the Altoona District, from the Mt. Blue District in central Maine.
The Balls were married in 1992. In 2006, they sold their house and left their jobs to move to Rapidan, Virginia, so Donald could attend school at Hartland Institute.
Donald worked as dean of men, and Barbara was employed as a sales and subscription manager for the Last Generation magazine. Donald earned his bachelor’s degree in pastoral and evangelism in 2010 and began employment as a Bible worker while also teaching a class at the college and traveling on speaking engagements to Africa, China, Hawaii, California and other states. In 2012, the Balls received a call to work with Northern New England Conference Evangelist Rick Kuntz. Donald served as director of the ARK, a facility used as a center of influence in Lewiston, Maine, and helped conduct Revelation seminars with Kuntz. In 2015, the Balls accepted a call to a four-church district in northern and central Maine, where Donald completed his master’s degree in pastoral ministry at Andrews University. The couple took a trip to Israel in December 2017 at which time Donald was ordained in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Pastor Ball said he and his wife are “thrilled to be here (at the Everett church) to continue spreading the 3 Angels messages for all who are interested. We are excited to be here and looking forward to making many friends, conducting Bible studies, holding training sessions, and teaching people how to have a personal relationship with Jesus.”
Thoughts from Pastor Don
GREETINGS,
First of all, Barbara and I want to thank each of you for the warm welcome and support as we transitioned to this District, we greatly appreciate it! I am praying that God will impress upon each of us on what He will have us do to hasten the soon Coming of Jesus. Barbara and my hearts desire is to assist you in anyway that we can to make His soon return a reality. As we occupy until He comes, I want to encourage each of us to: keep our eyes upon Jesus, fight the good fight of faith, and forever keep the joy of the Lord ever before us, on this journey called life. As we are settling in and almost unpacked, God is continually confirming that He has wonderful things in store for the PA Conference and more specifically, the Everett church. It has been a blessing getting to know each of you, and am looking forward to making many memories throughout each day that God blesses us with. I would like to leave you with a favorite quote of mine, and I pray that it will bless you as much as it has me throughout the years in my ministry.
In choosing men and women for His service, God does not ask whether they possess learning or eloquence or worldly wealth. He asks: “Do they walk in such humility that I can teach them My way? Can I put My words into their lips? Will they represent Me?”—Testimonies for the Church 7:144
May God bless and keep you until we meet again!
Pastor Don Ball
