Harold and Sue Clark came to Saranac Lake in December 1976. By then, they had been married for 11 years and already had seven young kids: Robert, Lyndon, Kevin, Heather, Peter, Nathan and Rachel. Caleb was born in 1978.  Although they had both been churchgoers, Harold came to Jesus in 1967, Sue in 1970. They were living near Brushton, where Harold’s family farmed. Harold remembers: “It was a ‘now or never’ moment. I stepped out to follow God,” Sue said. “I didn’t marry a preacher — I married a farmer. When we first came here, Saranac Lake felt too much like a city to me — I was a country girl, I grew up on a farm outside Auburn in the Finger Lakes region. On Olive Street, we lived right in the heart of town. But since then, I’ve really grown to appreciate the community. It was a great place to raise a family, and I loved the view of the mountains from Olive Street hill.” Harold accepted the call to the ministry in 1973, at an Evangelism Conference in Poughkeepsie.
