For the Kingdom. . .

[Krista]

I know we worship the same big God and that's the only reason I am now writing this. My good friend Andy Wiersma died in a car accident this afternoon. He was in a van with five other people all from the same Bible study. Andy was a youth pastor here in the town of Marshall, MN and impacted so many. He played basketball at Southwest Minnesota State University as well. He was only 26 years old. It's hard, but nobody wishes him back because he is in far greater glory now. Him and bunch of his friends went to Sonshine Music Festival in Willmar, MN two weeks ago where you performed. He was so touched by your concert. The community of Marshall, MN has been hit hard with so many auto and bus accidents in the last four years. Only God knows why and it is in his sovereignty and grace that we continue. Andy's funeral is on Thursday, July 31, and we're hoping it's nothing less than a huge celebration. I'm writing this just so you know how much you impact lives and encourage so many who also go out and bless those around them. If you could somehow be involved even if it's with your thoughts and prayers we would appreciate it more than you know.

I truly felt led to write this to you, not knowing how you can be contacted, but again we worship the same big God and his ways are greater than ours.
