Help the Teachout Family get to the States

**UPDATE** The original goal was to go toward their airline tickets home.  As you know, their expenses are and will be much more than this.  There are so many that want to help so we have raised the goal.  Thank you to all that have given already.**

The Teachout family has tragically lost their beloved 15 year old son and brother, Kaleb. We want to help them fly back to the States as they bring their precious Kaleb to his final resting place. This has been a terribly tragic time for them and as you know they have given selflessly for years as missionaries to Africa. We as their loved ones and the Body of Christ want to gather around them and help them with this financial burden. Galations 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Our goal is to raise $5000 which should help cover their airfare but anything above this would be wonderful to help toward the funeral expenses which are also very high.

Please give any amount you are able to. Most of all continue to PRAY for each of them individually and as a family, as they grieve and carry the weight of this tragedy.

Below is the post that was shared on their Family Missions Update page:

Dear friends and loved ones,

The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

This is by far and away the hardest letter that I’ve had to write in my entire life. God’s Word says that when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, He is with us. We are in that valley and death is more than a shadow. God gave us 15 years to share in the life of our son Kaleb, and He has taken him away from us. In the early hours of the morning, this morning, our beautiful son lost his battle with a level of depression we were unaware of, and he took his own life.

We have asked ourselves so many questions, and second guessed so many of the choices we made in raising him. We have never claimed to be perfect parents, but we are content to know that God, in His infinite wisdom, chose him for our son and us for his parents. Again, in His infinite love for us, He decreed that we would not get to spend any more than 15 years with Kaleb, but He knew that when Kaleb was born. I have been wishing a hundred different things since this happened, but none of the wishing, anger, question, or sadness will change this nightmare we are living through. I only ask that you pray for us as we grieve and try to move on. We welcome your messages of encouragement should you choose to send them, but please know that we may not be able to answer them.

As a family, we have decided to try to bring Kaleb back to Indiana for his final resting place. We don’t know how that will work out, but will keep you all as up to date as we can. Thank you for your ongoing love for us.
