Jenny, John, and I have spent the day reading through a trunk full of journals that Steven wrote through the years during his times alone with the Lord, both before and after the collision. It totally amazes me how God was preparing him for what was coming. And it so humbles me to see how spiritually deep his thoughts were even after the brain injury. I will be sharing some of those journal entries in the coming weeks.
Again, the first service will be this coming Saturday at Bethel Mennonite Church, off of Fruitville Rd. east of the interstate, at 2:00pm. If you are able, please come celebrate Steven's homegoing with us.
Some of you have been asking where to send memorials. If you so desire, memorials may be made to Engineering Ministries Int. on behalf of John Sauder, in order to bring the same hope that Steven knew to the people of East Africa. (See www.facebook.com/SaudersInAfrica) Checks may be made to EMI, with a note that it is for staff # 2053, and may be sent to 130 East Kiowa St., Colorado Springs, CO 80903.
Vickie, I just learned about your blog after Steve's home going. Reading your and Steve's enries have had such an impact on my life. I
ReplyDeletedon't think we will know till that faithful day when we see Jesus face to face just how big of an impact this has made on others, just how far reaching this will go, all to the Glory of God. Thanks you for your faithfulness to God and for sharing His faithfulness in your lives through this all. You all have been very special to me since the day I started working with Steve at his practice. God's continued blessings on you all. Doris
