Steven & Lisa Rief, Redland, OR

Within a short period of time, our extended family experienced a death, an engagement, a birth and a serious illness. Our little church was very supportive during this time. Godly men in our congregation took turns teaching and preaching during Steve’s absence. One Sunday, a Gideon came to share with the church. Our people were very friendly to him and gave him a generous love offering. He commented, “There is nothing small about this church!” Praise the Lord for our faithful group of believers here who are so supportive and committed to upholding us in our times of trouble as well as in our times of rejoicing.
