Josh grew up in Kaufman, Texas, living with his dad and grandmother. He attended church. He knew who God and Jesus were, but at the age of 12, life Jchanged directions for Josh. Josh began to use drugs. Not long after that he began to steal. It was part of a lifestyle that he enjoyed. At the age of 20 he and Amanda married. Their lifestyle consisted of drinking, drugs, and parties. In 2004, Josh was working at Intermodal Cartage as a trailer inspector. Using his job to gain access, Josh and two friends stole a truck loaded with $300,000 worth of motorcycles. Josh had hidden from Amanda the extent of his drug use and the things that he had stolen. It was not until the police broke down the door of their home to arrest Josh that she knew he lived a different life outside of their home. The Vice President of the company was there when Josh was questioned. Josh had never met him before, but Josh cursed him as the police led him away. Since some of the motorcycles were recovered and this was his first offense, Josh’s sentence was ten years probation and $78,000 in restitution. He escaped a more serious sentence, but God wasn’t through getting Josh’s attention. Josh and Amanda began to change their lives. In an effort to stay together, they began going to church and stopped living the lifestyle that had caused so much trouble. Josh became a union foreman for building sprinkler systems. Things appeared to be getting better, but there was no way he could keep up with the payments of over $650 per month for the restitution. Finally, he was pulled over and was found with marijuana. Now that he had violated his probation and was behind on his restitution payments, he had to go to court again to be resentenced. It was then that Josh saw God working in his life. The day before his sentencing, the Vice President of his former company, Lynn Parrish, an elder of the Great Oaks Church of Christ near Memphis, Tennessee, called to ask the prosecutor how Josh was doing. Lynn did not know about his probation violation; he just wanted to talk with Josh. He asked how things had changed, and Josh told him about his job and that he was going to church. After verifying what Josh told him, Lynn called the court and asked that the remaining restitution be dropped completely. In complete amazement, Josh called Lynn and asked him why he would do this. Lynn told him, “I have a God who sent his Son to forgive my sins. Who am I not to forgive you?” This was the same man that Josh had cussed out when the police took him from his home. Josh experienced mercy that he did not even know existed. Josh quickly began to learn all he could about God. Josh could not stop telling about how great God is. Not only did Josh and Amanda attend church, but Josh began preaching. Josh had been baptized with Amanda about four years earlier, but it was to show Amanda that he was serious about changing his marriage. In 2008, after preaching for a while, Josh decided he needed to be baptized for the remission of sins. Soon after, Ozzy McDaniel, a ‘08 graduate preaching nearby, encouraged Josh to consider attending Sunset to strengthen his faith and keep the fire alive that was inside of him. When Josh applied to come to Sunset, he had to appear in court to ask the judge to change his place of probation from Dallas county to Lubbock. To his surprise and in an unheard of decision, the court forgave the remaining seven years of probation. He was given forgiveness and freedom. Josh and Amanda moved their family to Lubbock and started classes in January of 2009. Josh completed all of his courses in December, 2010. The family has moved to Sturgis, South Dakota, where Josh will preach full time. They are both growing in faith and knowledge. They have peace that only comes through serving God and are raising their children to know and love the God of perfect grace, forgiveness, and freedom. Josh said, “Don’t ever give up on anyone who has a problem like I had. My grandmother prayed for me every night. She never gave up hope that I would find God. If you have a chance to attend Sunset, come now! The things I have learned have grounded me in faith and love.” -Linda Wagner • Sunset International Bible Institute The Floyds, Josh, Amanda, Alexis, Joshua, and Leigha The Adventure of Retirement he first Senior Adventures class met in January 1995, with four couples from the Sojourners program who were used Tto traveling and dealing with new experiences.

Paden retired last summer from a long ministry with Sunset International Bible Institute, just one year prior to his death. Since 1962 his name has been inextricably associated with the school he founded. After serving as the school’s only director for thirty-one years, Cline retired from the directorship in 1993 and became its first chancellor. The ravages of decades of travel, speaking and tireless service, and more recently Parkinson’s disease, had taken a physical toll. While no longer a physical presence at Sunset, Cline leaves a leadership legacy which will endure for generations. There are significant contributions to Sunset and our brotherhood which are deeply rooted in Cline’s leadership: Preacher Training: The preacher training concept which Cline introduced in 1962 has spawned hundreds of similar programs world-wide. Cline encouraged and helped in the early beginnings of many of them.
