However, two videos shown during that time share some of the flavor of that time together. The accompanying photo shows World Mission Executive Minister Curt Peterson and his friend, Rennis (that&#8217;s sinner in reverse), having a bit of fun at Palmberg&#8217;s expense.<\/p>\n<p>For a more serious look at the life and ministry of Palmberg during the past decade, see Palmberg Tribute below.
