After they married Cheryl and David found employment in Marshall, Texas.  When it was time to buy a home, there were few options so they turned to God in prayer.  They asked God to expand their family and provide a home where they could serve Him.

First, God helped them find land that was just the right size.  David shares, "we felt the Lord placed us right here."  Then, God helped them find more land across the street.

When Cheryl's widowed aunt needed a new home away from the cold and snow of her home in Maine and closer to family, God answered her prayer through Cheryl and David.  They helped move a one-bedroom home onto the property.  After she passed away, they continued to use this "mission home" as a temporary shelter for Hurricane Katrina victims, as well as a home for family, friends, gospel workers, and others.  In 2021 the Marshall, Linden, Marietta-New Hope, and the Atlanta churches, and others met for a district church camp.  After their Sabbath morning service and a delicious potluck, two young men were baptized.  One of which is working his way through academy through literature evangelism.  David shared, "We never imagined we would see baptisms on this property.  Praise God we get to serve in this capacity."  Click here to watch the baptism and listen to the beautiful testimony.
