Any suggestions?

Terry & Sherry Palmer are reaching out for suggestions/ideas to help the Dierkings. They are the pastors at Word of Life Church in Sullivan, MO. This is the church that the entire Dierking family has been a part of for years & is where Jennifer worked when she met David.

For those who don't know the Dierkings have been through a lot. Some of the things this family has dealt with over the years include:
~Bob, David's dad - blood clots in his legs, heart problems, non-hodgkins lymphoma.
~David - a tumor on his finger
~Kathy, David's mom - cancer & several surgeries on her ankle
~The accident in Oct resulting in Jennifer & David's broken bones & Jennifer's cardiac arrest & brain damage as well as the premature birth of Kacyn

The Dierkings have spent their lives helping others & putting others first.

The house they are living is not big enough to accomodate 6 people (David, Jennifer, Josiah, Kacyn, Bob, Kathy) much less a wheelchair. The pastor & his wife at Word of Life want to help them out with the housing situation. Their thoughts are:

"We need a packet with a letter & a dvd showing the events of their lives & where it has led them. They need a home and we think we can take this packet to some major ministries, tv stations, construction companies, etc, to get help for them. It probably would have to entail using the current property already owned by Bob & Kathy and go from the approach of building this home so the 2 families can live together and possibly give David & Jen an apartment in that house."

The Palmers are asking is if there is anyone who can help in any way especially in the talent of videoing & telling the story. They have already written a 4 page letter putting the events in order over the last decade, but feel it would work better if this were on video instead of a long letter for people to read.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or ideas, please e-mail them to wolwc@fidnet.com, Pastors Terry or Sherry Palmer attention. Please note in the subject that the e-mail is regarding the Dierkings.

It was a rough day & night yesterday for David. Jennifer, Josiah, & Kacyn all had a bug of some sort & were throwing up & had diarrhea. Needless to say David & Kathy were busy, busy, busy. God bless them. I hate being so far away.

I will be going to Sullivan for about a week later this month to help David out when his mom has to go home to OH to take care of some things there. I'm looking forward to spending so much time with Jennifer & being able to spoil those boys (that's the best part of being an aunt!!) :)

Please continue to pray for this dear little family. Also please pray for the Palmer's & what they are attempting to do. We are truly blessed to have so many wonderful people praying & wanting to help. Each one of you is a gift straight from God & I can't thank you enough.
