My name is Robert Shank and I am raising assistance for my dear friend, Steve Michael and his family (wife - Janilyn, kids - Eliana: age 14 and Aaron: age 12). The Michael's house and all of their possessions burned down on May 9. The Michaels have no insurance to cover the loss.

By the grace of God, there was no death or serious injuries. Steve suffered 1st degree burns to his forehead, hands, arms, and feet.

Steve and Janilyn serve faithfully as missionaries with Pastoral Training of Asia. Steve faithfully volunteers his time regularly meeting with juveniles that are incarcerated, counseling them. He also helps victims of sexual exploitation.

Steve and Janilyn sacrifice their lives to help out others in need. Let's show the Michaels the same love they show others.
