The Hurd Family of 6 need your support

Hey, dear friends, I am reaching out because the Hurd family is in very great need. In the span of just a few months, they have been hit with several major setbacks that have left them in an emergent situation financially.

At the very beginning of this year, having already moved to live on his parents’ land in Oklahoma to reduce debt (incurred from a series of ministerial internships and relocations), Josh unexpectedly lost his job (very little warning and no severance). Just two weeks later, Isabel’s father passed away suddenly, leaving Isabel and Josh with the responsibility to help Isabel’s mother navigate grief and sort through financial matters. They quickly moved to Joplin, Missouri to be near her mother, and Josh was able to find employment, but the position only provided a minimal draw while he worked to build sales. Despite his best efforts and dedication, Josh was unable to generate the necessary sales and was let go without warning yesterday.

Already living minimally on an extremely limited income and in a one-bedroom home (They have four precious children, ages 1-8.), they are now left in severe straits as they scramble to pay rent, utilities, groceries, and minimum debt payments. Because of their recent relocation, they have only just found a local church and begun to build a support system.

They are reaching out to their extended family, friends, and the broader community of believers in a time of great need. They are holding fast to trusting that God will provide even when there is no means! Would you prayerfully consider helping these dear ones get through this hardship?

As of yesterday, Josh is actively seeking for employment opportunities. He has extensive experience in sales, sales training and management, headhunting and recruitment, door-to-door canvassing techniques, business-to-business sales, IT technical skills, public speaking, and musical talent (guitar, bass, and drums). In addition to any financial support, if anyone is able to connect him to any job leads it would be tremendously appreciated. Thank you for taking time to consider their story as they navigate this difficult season. They are eternally grateful for any support and prayers and encouragement in this time.

In Christ,

Esther Catledge
