Help Ben Pierce family with lost expenses

My name is Lena Pierce , my sister Aluna just lost her husband from COVID . She has 5 kids and needs help . Please help if you can and pray for the family . God bless you all.

 

Ben Christian Pierce , 44 year old, pastor, loving husband and father of 5 sweet children, loving son.

Has one brother and 2 adopted sisters. He is an uncle for many nephews and nieces from him and his wife Aluna. Ben went to be with the Lord on November 18th after he fought with COVID for 2 weeks.

We all will miss his great preaching and Bible teaching, his laughter and when he would play on  guitar sometimes for Aluna, his wife.

He preached many sermons and studied the Bible a lot, he wrote books and loved to travel. He liked to bake bread, and have honey bees.

Ben and Aluna were married for 26 years, and they had their last anniversary just a week ago, on November 11th, while he was on a ventilator. 

On this day and after they let Aluna go visit him for few hours every day. Aluna every day prayed with him and read from the Bible and listened to gospel songs. Their love for each other always showed, and no one could have imagined that last 2 weeks of sickness can change all their lives. Ben is now with the Lord, who he loved all his life and served, and lead others to Jesus, he was always so happy when new souls got saved. He saw all his 5 kids get saved and baptized them. He had the joy to preach on the wedding for his daughter Annie and Harry, and only son Elisha and Taelor exactly a month ago October 18, 2021. The younger kids are so young to grow up without a dad. Susanna is 11 years old and Natasha is only 8.

The Girls miss their daddy and were not allowed to see him his last 2 weeks. No one expected that when on November 4th he asked Aluna his wife to take him to the hospital, because he can’t breathe. That was the last time they saw him. Older daughter Katerina helped her Mother, staying at the hospital with her dad. It is so hard for the family to say goodbye last evening. His mother and father are heartbroken. We know he has a great Joy now to see Jesus face to face, but the family lost not only a husband and dad but their pastor and provider for the family. Family lives in the house which belongs to the church where he was a pastor, so they don’t have a house now. They really need financial help and most importantly need your prayers  for the family.
