JANUARY 17, 2019 LUNCHEON MEET THE MCMILLANS

David McMillan and his family are longtime friends of

Idlewild, especially because his wife, Susie Overstreet

McMillan, grew up in this fellowship! David has been

involved in music since the age of eight when his mom

and dad bought him a guitar for Christmas. Over the

years, David’s dad, a lover of country and bluegrass

music, helped him train to play in a band and later to do

home recording. As a young adult, David set up his own

recording studio. It was at

one of these recording sessions that David met Susie, a

lovely and talented young singer. They later were

happily married and raised four delightful children.

The McMillans are in full-time music ministry and have

been ministering together for over 20 years as a family

singing Gospel music. David, a former worship pastor, is

a multi-instrumentalist who loves worshipping the Lord

with instruments as well as singing with Susie and their

daughter Jessica. They love incorporating music for all

generations in their programs; including styles of

bluegrass, southern, country, and praise & worship! Their

programs feature group and solo songs, instrumentals,

favorite stories, jokes, tricks, and some audience participation.

Fun and fellowship are always present at a McMillans

production. The family is blessed to be able to travel the

country sharing the “Good News” of Jesus Christ. It is their

prayer that audiences enjoy what God has called them to

do...present the Gospel through song.

JANUARY - FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 21, 2019 LUNCHEON

MEET THE MUNSONS

Diane and David Munson are authors of family-friendly

suspense novels based on their challenging careers in

the U.S. justice system. Their novels are inspired by

fictionalized events and themes relating to their careers

as well as inside looks at the lives of heroes. Their

thrillers weave multiple related plots, but sometimes they

do not reveal the surprising connections until the exciting

conclusions to the stories. North by Starlight is the title of

their most recent novel.

Diane Munson is an attorney of more than twenty-five years who

transitioned from her law practice and writing briefs for judges to

weaving inspiring fiction for readers. David Munson was a

Special Agent with the NCIS and with the Drug Enforcement

Administration (DEA). As an undercover agent, he infiltrated

international drug smuggling organizations. David also served

on Capitol Hill as a Congressional Fellow for the Permanent

Subcommittee on Investigations where he investigated the

government’s efforts to co-opt foreign spies and other classified

military operations.

More recently, Diane flew solo in

a law practice specializing in family law. She and David

also worked together as Christian mediators and saw

that justice and forgiveness are possible no matter

what the circumstances. As they travel to research and

cloister to write, they thank the Lord for the blessings of

faith and family. A verse they hold dear is Jeremiah

29:11: “I know the plans I have for you,” declares The

Lord, “Plans to give you hope and a future.”

JANUARY - FEBRUARY MEET OUR FEBRUARY MUSICAL GUESTS

MEET THE BRICKELLS

Keith and Heather Brickell have been at

Idlewild Baptist Church since 2014. They

are transplants to Florida. Keith is from the

Boston area and a loyal Red Sox and

Patriots fan, while Heather is from Indiana.

Both came to know Christ at young ages

and are thankful for the miraculous ways He

has guided their lives through the Gospel.

Keith has a college degree in Business.

Today he is Vice-President of a large global-

wide company. Before that – for almost 20

years – he served in music ministry roles,

including 10 years as a church music

director in St. Petersburg before coming to

IBC. Keith is also active in his community and church. Currently, he is a member of

the Board of Trustees of the Idlewild Foundation.

Heather has a college degree in Elementary Education, but now is a stay-at-home

Mom. She enjoys teaching in the Children’s Ministry at IBC. Her special passion is to

help others – particularly moms – live for less by stretching household dollars. She

can help women find the best deals, get the most out of coupons, and where to find

the best in lifestyle and fashion.

Both Keith and Heather enjoy the IBC Worship

Choir and are also on a Praise Team. When they

were first married, the Lord gave them this verse

that has carried them through almost 19 happy

years of marriage and two wonderful sons, Drew

(13) and Brady (7): “Let those who love Your

salvation say continually, ‘The LORD be

magnified.’” Psalm 40:16
