Congratulations to Jon Kooima (2) and Christina Ybema on their upcoming wedding this Saturday! We praise God for bringing them together and pray that their home will be filled with love for each other, for others, and for God.
We rejoice with Colby Eppinga (3) and Trevor Schuller on the birth of their daughter, Taytum Rae. We praise God for the gift of new life.
We celebrate with our mission partners, Jon and Gracia Harmsen, on the adoption of their daughter, Evangeline Grace! We praise God for this incredible gift.
We express our sympathy to Kyle & Mindy De Jager (7) and their children, and Margaret De Jager (10) and her children, in the loss of their sister, sister-in-law, and aunt, Leann Kriz, of Sioux Falls. We pray they will feel God’s peace and comfort surrounding them.
We continue to pray for little Adrien, son of Patrick and Brooke Kooima (8) as he remains in the NICU. We are thankful that he is progressing each day & steadily gaining weight.
Please continue praying for Matt Punt, brother of Andrea Cramer (8). Matt had to have his left leg amputated at the knee and four fingertips on his right hand. We specifically pray that the doctors can find a better way to manage the pain that he is experiencing. We ask God to provide complete healing on his right ankle and that he may remain free of infection. May God protect his heart and mind and fill him with peace. Please consider sending a note of encouragement to:
Matt Punt % Harborview Medical Center
325 9th Ave RM 910 Level 9 ICU
Seattle, WA 98104-2420
Thank you for all the prayers, cards, and meals during our brief NICU stay and as we adjust to our new normal as a family of 5!
Carter, Jodi, Marlee, Mattias, and Merrick Pollema
