Friends of Stephanie

My name is Beth Thompson.  My wife, Jennifer and I are inviting you to contribute some financial support to our dear friend Stephanie.


Life has thrown Stephanie many challenges over the past few years.  This last year's challenge was by far the greatest.

Stephanie is currently between jobs. We want to gather enough resources for her to be able to live for some
months without worry.

Stephanie's ministry is life-giving, and even though she has been hurt in it, she chooses to continue to rise again in Christ's love and live the example that we all believe in. 

I have watched Stephanie love in spite of the way she has been treated. I have witnessed her loving a person who is fearful of what she represents.  I have watched her care for those that she was serving even when they were not on their best behaviors. 
 
Over the past three years, I have been blessed to be a part of Stephanie's journey, as she has been a huge part of mine.  I have watched her stop what she is doing to help people with anything she can give. When I didn't think that I could do Seminary after only a few months, my advisor put me in contact with Stephanie. After some email exchanges, Stephanie was able to help me see that I needed to rethink what wasn't working for me. She helped me to form a new idea-- instead of giving it all up, I could keep pushing through. 
 
I want to support Stephanie as she has supported me and many others.

If you are moved to help by contributing what you can, we would be deeply grateful.
 

Beth & Jenn


I want to personally thank a fellow student and friend of Stephanie,  L. Ranck for helping me in the compilation of this letter.
