Speechless.

One of our supporting churches where we attended our last 4 years stateside has burned to the ground. The River Church in Poughkeepsie, NY, was our church home for a few important years for us and we feel the lose. Housed in a 100-year old building it apparently simply caught fire due to old wires or an acident and the oldest part of the church burned down.

I don't know how the church will react but am sure they will grow through the experience. They are a group of remarkable people who love Jesus, led by Pastor Marlow who is the embodiment of passion and enthusiasm for the things of God.

Pray for them as they rebuild....or find another location...or build anew.
