Prayers requested.


If you are connected to any of our FB pages, you may be aware that Eric's family is mourning the loss of this young man. He was Adrian's boyfriend in Alabama, and remained good friends since they moved to Illinois. They call him a "second son," and they immediately left for Alabama when they heard he had suffered a brain aneurysm and stroke. He has passed away. By his testimony, they believe he is with the Lord, but his family, and Eric's, will miss him deeply.

We've been following this on FB since yesterday. How sad.

Thanks all for the prayers. Dillon was loved, and will be missed my so many. We had the privilage of watching his life be changed by his relationship with Christ. That was the greatest miracle for Dillon. It looks like Amber, Chris & I will be heading back this afternoon to Illinois. Adrian & Retta will stay here with the family until the funeral. The rest of us will drive back the day of the funeral (tentative Wednesday) and then all head back home the same day. Please pray for our travels, for Retta & Adrian as they minister to Dillon's family & friends & the families who's prayers were answered this morning when they got the call about organ's being available for donation.

I am so sorry to hear about this. We will be in prayer both for the young man's family and also for Eric's family.
