Last night, Jamin and Bethany Gardner and their boys — Lincoln, Hudson, and Atticus — arrived at their new home in Plum Borough, PA, ready to begin an exciting new chapter. They’ve just moved back home to plant a new church called Neighbors Church, with a heart to love and serve their community.
After a long journey, they parked their U-Haul, filled with all of their belongings — clothes, furniture, toys, family photos, and keepsakes — planning to unpack in the morning.
But before they could settle in, the unthinkable happened.
Their U-Haul caught fire, and everything inside was lost. In a matter of minutes, years of memories and everything they owned were gone — their kids’ clothes and toys, furniture, household essentials, and treasured family photos.
The Gardners are safe, but they’re heartbroken.
They came to Plum Borough with a vision — to plant a church that would be a place of love, belonging, and hope for their neighbors. Now, in an unimaginable twist, they’re the ones who need their neighbors — near and far — to surround them with love, prayer, and support.
Your generosity will help the Gardners rebuild what was lost — providing for immediate and essential needs like:
- Clothing for the whole family
- Children’s essentials and toys
- Furniture and household items
- Everyday necessities
- Funds to replace what insurance can’t cover
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you.” — Isaiah 43:2
Even in heartbreak, the Gardners are walking by faith, trusting that God is with them through every step of this storm. His promises remain true — He is their refuge, their strength, and their provider.
We also believe deeply in the power of prayer. Please lift this family up — pray for peace, provision, and hope as they rebuild their lives and continue to pursue the calling God has placed on their hearts.
If you feel led, please consider giving, sharing this page, and keeping Jamin, Bethany, Lincoln, Hudson, and Atticus in your prayers as they begin again. ❤️
Together, we can remind them that they are not alone — that they are deeply loved, supported, and surrounded by the very kind of community they came here to build.
Thank you for being a part of their story of faith, hope, and restoration.
