Young Southern Baptist Pastor

This is what was left of our house after the fire. The insurance company has called it a total loss. The fire inspector listed the cause as unknown, but suspected an outlet near our couch began ‘arcing’ and caught the couch on fire. Everyone who pitched in to help with clean up, moving what we could salvage, and giving us the financial means to stay in a hotel in those weeks right after the fire, etc. You all are a great blessing to our family. Thank you so much! We thank God often for your help and generosity. Our newspaper ad in the Baptist Message was our small attempt at saying thank you to so many.

 Many churches, friends, and fellow believers we have never met sent us Lifeway gift cards. We bought Bibles, books, and this beautiful painting. The verse is Isaiah  61:3. It has spoken greatly to our hearts during all of this.
