Requesting funds for legal fees, housing, expenses

Hi,

I am Connie Bright, Stephanie Cain‘s mother. I am also a mother to 3 others, grandmother to 10 and great grandma to one. I am single and living on $15,000/year income and help take care of my grandchildren. I do not benefit from the gofundme and it all goes to Stephanie’s lawyer. The attorney charges are over $80,000 as present with a balance of $45,000+ owed. No attorney wanted to fight against Stephanie's ex's lawyer and the one we got is a true blessing, but at $450 an hour and a 5 hour round trip drive to court , it has added up quickly. It was over $25,000 just in August with the second day of trial. The first divorce trial was on June 28th, but they ran out of time and it continued on August 14th. The judge has ruled that we can't discuss the court case until the final orders have been entered. Please pray for the results! But there is alot behind the scenes even after court with working out details and the ex's lawyer is already talking about an appeal if they don't get what they want. This could easily end up being $100,000! We need to be able to start making payments to the lawyer again so he will keep fighting for Stephanie. The most important thing to fight for is custody of the children! Please pray for us and please help if you can. I promise that every dime is going to the lawyer and later we can even post the bill for those who think we are making this up. We have to account for this money to the IRS so we don't have to be taxed on it. Please pray for Stephanie and her children! I believe that the goal is to break her financially so they can get the children and we need help!

In September when Titus & I first saw the amazing opportunity that we had in order to spread the gospel, I told him, “Because we are putting ourselves out there, I fully expect persecution but I’m 100% committed to this ministry and sharing the gospel.”

I was thinking persecution that would come in the end times. I had NO IDEA that persecution was right around the corner and that it would come from within.

Slanderous rumors were spread all over our community in November. We had to make a choice: keep videoing or stop? We had done nothing wrong and felt convicted by the Lord to continue with the videos despite pressure from some to stop them. So we chose to obey God rather than man.

In January, I received legal documents and a court date. I went to court without an attorney and lost so much (it is just so incredibly shocking) with more court dates to follow. Again, we were faced with making a decision: keep videoing or stop? This court hearing really shook every bone in our bodies and we could tell that we were being intensely persecuted. Because of the ruling that was given, I felt there was no way that I could continue videoing. But when there seems to be no way, God will make a way. The door opened slightly to where I could continue doing videos but only on certain days. Because we had missed about 4 days of daily lessons and then found out the audio was missing from 3 previously recorded lessons as well as 3 other videos that we had to redo, we got very far behind. So when I was able to go back, we recorded 3 lessons in one day and tried to pack everything in that we could. We decided that God did not bring us this far to just stop and that we still had a huge opportunity to reach people so we would press on as He has called us.

Though we still have these mountains before us, God is giving us strength to face them and prove our dedication to Him. We are being tested and tried. May we come forth as gold. ❤️

Please pray for us. I’m not able to be at Henson Creek Farm today and my heart, our 7 volunteers’ hearts, my children’s hearts, and Titus’ heart are hurting in so many ways.

Stephanie
