  • When a Spouse Dies: Christian Hope in the Midst of Deep Loss
    Grief after the loss of a spouse is complex. It is emotional, spiritual, physical, and deeply practical. Everyday routines change. Identity shifts. Faith may feel tested. In this season, many grieving spouses discover that healing does not happen in isolation, but through honest lament before God and through walking alongside others who understand.

  • When a Spouse Dies: Christian Hope in the Midst of Deep Loss
    There is roughly a 50% chance that if you are married, you will one day face the death of your spouse. Few statistics feel as personal—or as sobering—as that one. Yet while the loss of a husband or wife is among the deepest griefs a person can experience, the Christian faith offers a hope that does not erase sorrow but gives it meaning. For believers, death is not a permanent goodbye. Scripture reminds us that it is a transition into eternal life with Christ, where God’s faithful servants are welcomed home. This truth does not cancel tears, loneliness, or confusion—but it does anchor them in something solid when everything else feels unstable.

You and I have been been friends and at one time you shared some info and was willing to fund a drip irrigation project here in rural Zambia. A lot has happened since then and it would be an honor to fill you in with some catch ups…we are working on rehabilitating an abandoned clinic to cater healthcare for a population of over 3000 people and honestly we are struggling financially hence your involvement in this project would bring a turn around of hope to my rural community. Let me know your thoughts and share your email address so I can forward some of our pix and vids for this upcoming project…thanks and God bless you sir.

    Al and I met Naomi and Richard when we started going to Eastbrook Church. They were so welcoming and caring. We belonged to their Life Group. Naomi was always there when I needed advice. She will be missed. Naomi was such a blessing in my life.
