Let's Help The Ketterer Family Stay In Their Home
Donation protected
I'm starting this fundraiser to help some great friends who mean a lot to many people.
I will share a few things about the Ketterer family and their actions to further the Kingdom of God where they live, and I hope you'll consider joining me in sowing into them.
1. One of their children, whom they adopted many years ago, Rodee, is in a wheelchair and has many disabilities that need constant care and attention. When they first brought him into their home, Rodee could not digest food on his own and needed a feeding tube. They also had been told by doctors he would never be able to speak, along with other things. They have prayed for and taken care of Rodee for many now, and in that time, they've seen God begin healing his body in ways that should've been impossible. But the key here is that they didn't just pray for him - they brought him into their home as their son and have sacrificed of themselves continually to give him a wonderful life while believing God for breakthrough in his body.
2. I've seen the Ketterer family constantly open their home, make food, and sow into others in incredible ways. They have weekly and biweekly gatherings in their house where they build spaces for community, transformation, discipleship, and worship. Their home has become a safe space for many people to be vulnerable and grow in community with others.
3. I could share many other things about this family and the impact they're making for the Kingdom. I have rarely seen a family give of themselves, welcome people into their home, and sow into others the way they do.
I'm launching this fundraiser because the Ketterers recently found out that their rent was raised to a level that was impossible for them to pay at the time. This situation caused them to fall behind on their rent payments over the last few months. They are now at the point where they can afford to pay the new cost of rent but need to pay the amount they are behind on to stay in their home.
I felt like I was supposed to get the word out because I didn't want to see this family have to be uprooted from their home. I believe they are doing what they are called to do in this season, and I'm blown away by their love and generosity towards others.
Let's rally together and help them keep doing what they're doing in Southern California for the Kingdom of God.
