On March 19, Tom Ellens (son of Dale & Pat (2), will be deployed to the Middle East.  Please remember Tom, April, and children in your prayers.  Pray that, in God’s time, Tom will return home physically, mentally and spiritually whole to resume his responsibilities as husband and father.  Pray that April and the children will adjust well to his absence and find their every need provided for.  Thank you for participating in this family’s journey over the coming year. 

Maggie Wielenga (7) is doing well and is now gaining weight– 3lbs. 6oz. since birth!  We praise God that she has received good reports from her cardiologist. 

We are thankful that Cathi Van Zanten (10) was able to return home from the hospital and is recovering from a bacterial and viral infection.  We pray the treatments she is
receiving will provide her with full healing.

Please continue to pray for Jane Brouwer (10) as she adjusts to her new home at Whispering Heights.  Jane says, “The pie is good– but not as good as mama’s, and would you believe it– Faynor comes and visits me every night.”  

The family of Kari Van Tol would like to thank all of you for your support over the years and especially over the past while as we walked her home.  You walked in the background with us.  Thank you.
