Pastor Mark Willig and his family are grateful for you and all your help. There is so much to learn and relearn.
 
"When Mark first had his stroke, he couldn't walk, talk, eat or even open his eyes. He has come so far in healing. He has relearned talking, eating, seeing, and is even relearning how to walk. We have been so blessed by all that you have done to support him on this journey. Thank you for your effective prayers and financial support that have helped so much along the way."

Accessible Van Helps Pastor Mark Willig Participate In Confirmation Sunday!

$6,352 WILL PAY OFF THE VAN!

Pastor Willig was so happy to have the accessible van so that he could participate in Confirmation Sunday at Friends in Christ Lutheran Church.
 
Pastor Willig shared, “It has been a half year of struggle to learn to talk, move, communicate and begin to walk. My involvement was limited, but I was able to be there and be a part of the confirmation for three young people this month.”
 
Being there to bless the students he taught meant so much to him and his wife, Paula.
