Deployment

My brother Eric is in the Army and will be deploying to Saudi Arabia tomorrow for 1 year.

On one hand he's ready to get to Saudi, to get his one-year clock started and to find out his exact orders. Afterall, this is his career and what he's trained to do. However, it does not make it any easier for him to leave his loved ones and his life in the US for that extended period of time. His wife Donna and 2 daughters Logan (10) and Jordyn (2 days older than my boys) and all of his family and friends will be anxiously awaiting his safe return.


Bryce and Drew love their Uncle Eric!

PLEASE pray for Eric's safety during his long travels and for his protection and safety in his job. Also, please pray for Donna and the girls that they will be safe while he's away and that all will be comforted during this difficult time.

I LOVE YOU BRO. Please be safe! WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU!

We are praying - for your brother that God will put a hedge of protection around him and for his wife and girls that God will grow them during this time and they would tangibly feel His presence in the lonely and hard times. Keep us updated!!
