Help the Bernhard Family Through Their Loss

On January 1st, 2025, Jenny Bernhard and her father, missionary Steve Smith, were killed in their home. Jenny’s husband, Jeff, was wounded and is presently in the hospital in stable but critical condition. Their daughter was abducted along with their foster child. Thankfully, the girls were quickly recovered and were physically unharmed. We ask for your prayers for Jeff’s healing, for both girls in their recovery from the severe trauma experienced, and for the extended Bernhard and Smith families as they mourn.

In moments such as these, we hold fast to the words of Christ “in this world you will have trouble but take heart I have overcome the world.”

Please consider giving a gift to help with funeral expenses, hospital bills & future additional costs that may arise. We may adjust the goal as needs arise. Thanks for helping to support the Bernhard and Smith family during this difficult season.
