Thorburn Family

We use an online source, The Potters School, with help in tutoring some upper level courses in our homeschooling.  One of our girls’ classmates was Emily Stauffer, a lovely 14 year old girl who described herself as, “A follower of Jesus Christ, a goof, a bad listener… who tries hard.., love rambling through the woods taking pictures of nature.”  By all accounts, she was an authentic, a real-deal, and God graciously saved her as a child. She was prepared to meet him.  

On September 27th, around 4:45 PM, Emily was attacked and murdered by an unknown man on a trail near their home, in her small Canadian town.   Two young boys saw the attack and ran for help, but it was too late.    

Please pray for this family.  They are a homeschooling family who had four children; Emily was the second-oldest. Emily’s Dad is a pastor, very like-minded w/us.   Reading the parents’ blogs is immensely encouraging. Unimaginable pain and sorrow lay ahead, but even greater grace.  

Please pray for this precious family. Here’s her dad’s blog:   http://newlumps.blogspot.com
