My name is Jason Slinker and I am very much looking forward to this new/final career. The miracle I was a part of (surviving a vehicle accident) this winter left me with a lot of “why’s” so this all feels very fulfilling!” My wife, Allie, and I have three beautiful children: Jaylie, Anna and Owen. I grew up in Indianola and have lived in the FD area since 2008, Between working in retail and recycling over the past 20 years I have always been a man of service, and not afraid to get my hands dirty. It will truly be honor to work in my “Father’s house.”

Through the direction of Pope Francis, Bishop Walker Nickless invites all Christians to pray at noon on March 25. Today is significant as it marks the day when many Christians commemorate the annunciation of the angel Gabriel to Mary with the announcement that she would be the mother of the Son of God. “I invite all the heads of churches and the leaders of all the Christian communities, together with all the Christians of the various confessions, to invoke the Most High, Almighty God, reciting contemporaneously the prayer that Jesus Our Lord taught us. I invite all, therefore, to do so several times a day, but, all together, to recite the Our Father Wednesday, March 25, at midday – all together,” Pope Francis declared. Bishop Nickless said he is hopeful all Christians will join in prayer today at noon, as well as in continuous prayer during this extremely difficult time.
