It has been a devastating and surreal experience, and yet in the middle of it, we have been overwhelmed by the love of this church. The calls, texts, prayers, and generous gifts have met us in a moment when we didn’t even know what to ask for. We are truly humbled by the kindness you’ve shown. We want you to know how deeply grateful we are. Your support has reminded us that even when everything familiar is lost, God’s faithfulness remains steady—and He often shows it through His people. You have been that for us. As we move forward and begin navigating the next steps, we would be grateful for your continued prayers. There is a long road ahead, and we are leaning on the Lord for wisdom, strength, and peace. Knowing we are surrounded by a church family that loves us means more than we can express.
