After the Wilson family's home
burned in October, they relocated to
Nebraska. See the note from Mark below.

68329 I wanted to take a moment and thank
all of our friends there at West-Ark. It was an
unbelievable blessing that all of you bestowed
upon us. One that truly touched us so deeply. Last
week as I was trying to finish up with the house,
I got a bid to clean up the burned up mess from an
unemployed man doing odd jobs to support his
family. His bid came in at exactly the same amount
as Rick Odell handed to us from the Sunday morning
offering the church took up for us. We were able
to praise God once again as His blessing was
passed on from us to another family in need. God
is good ... all the time. And His love endures
forever. Amen. We thank God for you. -- Mark
