I never personally got to meet Linda in person, however, she’s been praying for my 7 year old special needs son for the last 6. Linda and her church have been praying for Ethan since his brain surgery in 2020.

Every December for the last few years, I would give family pictures to Doris Head and she would mail some to Linda to share with her and her church so that they could see the growth of our son and family.

Words cannot express the amount of appreciation that I have for her and her church for the time that they invested in praying for my son and our family. Prayers were answered throughout these years.

I now pray that Linda’s family feels God‘s presence and the indescribable peace that only he can offer. This Bible verse below has brought me comfort during challenges and I hope it helps you. God bless you!

And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore you, secure you strengthen you, and establish you.
