In May, she and her family stopped by our church for one of their final deputation meetings. We thoroughly enjoyed getting reacquainted, and I was so happy to meet her husband and children. Their family was a great blessing to our church, as well as to us personally.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_783\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christiancompositions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/file4-e1541187753935.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-783\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-783\" src=\"http:\/\/www.christiancompositions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/file4-e1541187753935-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christiancompositions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/file4-e1541187753935-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.christiancompositions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/file4-e1541187753935-768x1024.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-783\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bro.

I ask you to please pray with me for Stephanie, and each of her eight children, along with the many extended family and friends who have been affected by the loss of Bro. Charles. Please pray also that the Lord would be greatly glorified, and that many souls would be saved.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to prayer, there will be many physical, practical needs for Stephanie and the children. In the immediate, they need funds to return to the States, to pay for an unexpected funeral, as well as for living expenses. I have been pondering and praying for a way to help raise money for the Wesco family.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, I am going to offer my 2 CDs for a discounted price of $10 each for the next week (November 2-November 9). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christiancompositions.com\/products.php?catID=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;<em>Consider Him<\/em>&#8220;<\/a> is a vocal solo CD. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christiancompositions.com\/products.php?catID=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;<em>Jesus Is All the World To Me<\/em>&#8220;<\/a> is a piano CD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All of the money from the CDs (<em>not including shipping<\/em>) will go directly to the Wesco family<\/strong>.
