    Kent,
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. “The Lord bless you, and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift His countenance on you, and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26) We pray that our God will comfort and strengthen you during this difficult time.
    Serving the KING,
    Myron Bruce
