Today is Pam Seibert’s last day at OurChurch.Com.  Over the last three years, OCC has changed a lot and Pam been an integral part of many of our new initiatives.  OurChurch.Com wouldn’t be what it is today without her contributions.

In addition to constantly pointing out my spelling errors, Pam managed to design the new OurChurch.Com website, lead the development of our Custom CMS Express service, and create some amazing custom sites like Cat Hair Media, Hearts Without Borders, and Leadership International.  If you’ve had a site at OurChurch.Com for a couple years, you’ve probably received some helpful technical support from her at one time or another and maybe even some prayer support.  Hopefully you’ve had a chance to read her blog articles that range from geeky web design tips to unusual travel adventures.

Got anything you’d like to say to Pam before she leaves?  Got a good Pam story you’d like to share?  Let’s hear it.

He wrote, “We have developed a game to inspire and nurture Children’s involvement and understanding in evangelism and world mission. It is called The Missionary Game.” (more…)
