Our love and prayers are with Major Charlie Jacobsen and his extended family on the passing of his sister on 2 October 2022.

We pray the truth of Romans 8:38-39 (NLT), which Marion knew well, might bring peace for all the family, “For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow... Indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
