Help Rip & Katie Pratt Rebuild Their Lives After Fire

Hello everyone - on the morning of November 14th, 2024 Rip and Katie Pratt's home caught on fire. This devastating fire completely destroyed their garage, four storage sheds, an attached apartment, Rip's office, his Tundra, beloved BMW motorcycle, and other vehicles/trailers. They also lost two of their beloved pet tortoises.

Thankfully, both of them were unharmed, are safe, and the fire department was able to stop the fire from spreading to more of their home. There is however extensive smoke damage throughout the inside of their home and significant damage to their backyard as well. Currently their home has no electrical power or water.

We do not yet know the cause of the fire. We also do not know the extent of their insurance coverage but as of right now, Rip and Katie are only being offered two more nights in a hotel. After that they will need other housing for some time.

If you have ever met Rip and Katie, have been a guest in their home, or been ministered to by this dear couple, you'll know how much was lost in those "storage" spaces. Personal treasures, valuables, musical instruments, Rendezvous and adventure gear, the gear for all of their ministries, and much of their means for personal livelihood.

Our hearts are breaking but we are deeply thankful they were unharmed physically and know that the Lord is good and will protect and provide. We are asking you humbly to be a part of that good work.

We have set up this Go Fund Me to help support them during this extremely difficult time.

Along with your financial support, we beg you for your emotional support as well. Through prayer and (in due time) reaching out a hand of love and fellowship to them. Rip and Katie have loved on SO many of us through the years by sharing God's love and grace... Now is OUR time to give some back.
