Three of the absolute best years of pastoral ministry were at Bethel Bible Church from 2019-2022! They currently live in Lafayette and attend Kossuth Street Baptist Church where Don served for 27 years as Lead Pastor. In their semi-retirement, Sue enjoys working part-time as a Chiropractic Assistant while Don works as the Chaplain for the Rohrman Auto Group rohrmanrefreshed.com. 

The Whipples have 3 sons, 3 incredible daughters-in-law and 8 above average grandchildren. On the side Don collects pipes and Lego sets while Sue tracks the grandchildren and makes really good cookies.
