A Note from Lisa:

“It has been almost a year since we left Russia to begin furlough. Much has changed during that short time. Jesse’s health has been paramount, of course. God has given strength and grace each step of the way, and we know he will continue to do so. He has met our needs over and above what we could have ever asked or thought. Please continue to pray for us daily to meet the challenges of everyday life with ALS.”
