Stories from CLC
In this episode of Stories from CLC, we sit down with Bob and Myrna Klimpel, longtime members of Christian Life Cathedral in Fayetteville, Arkansas, whose lives have been marked by radical obedience to God’s call.
From a childhood fear of Africa after watching a missionary film… to living and serving on the continent three times. From supporting missionaries monthly as a young couple… to packing up and going themselves. Bob shares the powerful moment on a 1994 missions trip to Honduras when the Holy Spirit spoke one clear word: “Go.” That word launched them into full-time missionary service with the Assemblies of God.
Together they have built and rebuilt churches, medical clinics, and youth camps across Mexico, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, St. Vincent, and Africa. Bob, a master carpenter and educator, has trained national workers and constructed buildings under challenging conditions—including 13 churches in less than a year after Hurricane Georges. Myrna, initially unsure of her role, found God opening doors for English teaching, children’s choirs, and creative ministry that blessed entire communities.
You’ll hear about:
The unexpected call that changed everything
God opening doors for ministry when Myrna felt she had “nothing to offer”
A Dominican general who surrendered his life to Christ in his own living room
The faithfulness of God through sacrifice, fear, waiting seasons, and testing
Encouragement for anyone who feels stuck in a waiting place
This is a story of ordinary people who said yes—and watched God do extraordinary things.
