The one thing that can be counted on in an emergency is a constantly changing flow of information!

I spoke to Tristan and Angie at length about an hour and a half ago and hopefully have gotten the answers to many of the questions you may have.

They thank EVERYONE so much for your kind blessing of prayer. This has made such an impact on them as they collect their thoughts and plan their next steps.

~ The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9

They also thank everyone for their kind concern for their physical needs,  including clothing, furniture etc. in addition to gift cards and financial benevolence. They are overwhelmed by the love of the body and how everyone has met their needs abundantly and beyond anything they could ask. Tristan and Angie want all of you to know that they know that the Lord has worked through his children and they appreciate every one of you.

The Greenwalts are in no further need of any material or financial assistance at this time. However, as we consider the situation in Ukraine, if you feel that the Lord is leading you to contribute somehow financially, please consider a donation to the HIS Kids Ministry through Community Bible Church. This is the ministry that provides orphan care in Ukraine and that Dr. Greenwalt volunteers for (see picture). It is well established with an orphanage, foster homes and even an adoption component.

~But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. Philippians 4:18

Correction – They are actually not borrowing a house at this time, although they had several offers. They have elected to remain with Tristan’s mom while they look for a furnished rental that will accommodate their family. The insurance company will be covering this expense fully for a year, so they will not have out of pocket expenses for this, for which they are very thankful.

The kids are taken care of, distributed between family and friends when not directly with Tristan and Angie.

There will be a meal schedule put up sometime after next week. Their immediate meal situation is taken care of and they are not in need of any more gift cards etc.

Below is Tristan’s post from Facebook from this morning that he has given me permission to share ~

Thank you to everyone who is praying for our family. We covet those prayers as we have had an eventful day of sifting through charred, smokey, wet “stuff” to find a corner of a picture, or a sliver of a necklace, or a piece of a shoe, while trying not to fall through the floor or get cut up by hanging metal shards. All while giving thanks to God for only having to bury our dog and not our child or children. We realize the important things are the little feet that run down the halls that no longer exist and the little fingers that smudge the refrigerator now sitting crumpled and burned under the collapsed ceiling. Thank you Lord for your mercy to our family….

 

Here are the Greenwalts prayer requests –

• Wisdom/discernment for many decisions, dealing with insurance, future plans, etc.
•  They lost their dog in the fire.  Please pray especially for the children as they deal with the loss of their pet, home, and belongings.
• Tristan and Angie’s work – how to balance fire clean up/details and dental patients.
• For rest and clarity of mind.

Glad to report that God has provided for a cottage for the Greenwalts near their house.

They are extremely grateful for all of the support and encouragement they are receiving as their church family and Christian brothers and sisters reach out to them. If you do not receive a reply to a message, please do not be concerned, there are many details to consider as they sort through their home, care for their business and children and they had a lot of calls to make. I am sure we will need to get a full report to the church when this is all over!

Tristan and Angie give praise to God for His goodness to them and His provision.

Many of you would like to know what you can do to help. Here are some things that the church has suggested that would be helpful.

• Any monetary donations can go through the church – check made to CBC with Greenwalt’s on the memo line.
• If you would like to help with everyday things there will be a meal rotation that Kelly McDaniel will be heading up through Take Them A Meal. I will put out the link as soon as she gets it set up.
• Gift cards of any type would also be helpful, especially for restaurants. These can be left at the church.

We are also working on specific prayer requests for all of the prayer warriors out there. Initially, please pray for this transition, dealing with paperwork, claims adjusters and being able to get enough rest.

Thank you so much for your love and prayers.

We will keep everyone posted.

Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord of hosts. Zech 4:6b 

Mary Ann has been having some digestive trouble as a result of her illness. Her doctor has placed her on a bland/BRAT Diet.

If you have signed up for her meal schedule, please adjust your dishes to baked rather than fried, and avoid excessive spices and fatty sauces.

Thank you so much!

If you have any questions, please contact the meal coordinator Kristie Schubert at 592-0528.
