Hope this Easter

HE is RISEN!
HE is RISEN indeed!


Hopefully you started your day with similar greetings.  Today is the day we set aside to celebrate our living Lord and King!!  We are blessed to freely gather and worship together offering praise and honor to our risen Christ.

We were blessed to share our joy with international friends -- two men who joined us at Heartland for worship and a young family who joined us in our home for a meal!  Just a few weeks to months ago, these friends were living in refugee camps a world away.  Now, they are tasting freedom and new life.  It is our hope that it is LASTING freedom and life experienced only in Christ.

She is only 3 days older; they are quite a pair!


Here are few other pictures from the day...

Excited in her new outfit!
Thanks, Nana & Papa!

CHEESE!!


Today, we celebrate the LIFE we have in Christ.  It is through Him alone that we truly live.  It is also through Him alone that we find HOPE.

We ask that you will join us in praying for God's blessing in sustaining a fifth little life that he has brought into our family.  

(YES -- we are announcing BIG news!!)

Baby K5 only recently made his/her presence known to us.  He/she is still too small to even be seen well by ultrasound but is still a life made in God's image with an eternal purpose in mind.   PLEASE pray with us that this little one might join us here on Earth to live out his/her days bringing glory, honor and praise to our GOD!!

Hoping in HIM,
DD&G

  4. You both have been on my mind - so wanted to just let you know that I'm praying for you! We so enjoyed meeting you in Pratt in March. Though our paths just briefly crossed, I am confidant that God will use that time for greater purposes - through prayers and support of your mission and even things we may not know. God is with you. May his peace be felt.
