Hi Matt,
Finally home from CA/Maui, a truly memorable trip! I wanted to get this check to support your ministry & upcoming concerts. Sorry to hear about your horse injury & broken ribs. My husband sustained broken ribs twice, the second time six also. I know they are so painful. In addition, my daughter had an injury when her horse hit a soft spot in the riding ring & went down on top of her, fortunately breaking only several toes.
I've gotten to know more about you, your family & your ministry through your website & Facebook page.  I was surprised to see the photo of Carman & me you posted about our reunion. How thoughtful of you! I would like to know more about your family & Abby's testimony.
Over five decades ago, God spoke to my heart about ministering to Christians in the entertainment world, of which I knew none, just a few from watching the Lawrence Welk show on TV (your parents/grandparents likely have seen it).  So I moved from MD to CA where many Chrisian entertainers lived & my first ministry opportunity came with a non-Christian named Carman! I've enclosed a summary of that encounter I wrote for Carman only, which I gave him the night we met. Also enclosed is a follow-up letter I wrote to encourage him in his amazing ministry. Perhaps be shared these with you, but it gives you a background of one of the ministries God has called me to.
I'm so blessed & honored to be a partner in your new ministry as you carry on Carman's ministry of touching peoples lives spiritually through your music. And so glad you are continuing to partner with Child Fund, with whom I'm sponsoring  3 children, one in memory of Carman.
As we partner, I would appreciate your prayers for my family, daughter Stephanie, grandson Owen (almost 2 1/2), dad Aaron, son Steven & daughter-in-law Lucy. My daughter is estranged from God with unforgiveness, bitterness, anger towards Him, myself & my son. I have also been praying for a dear friend I haven't seen in 50 yeas, whom God has put on my heart to pray for spiritually & for a possible reunion if God wills.
When Carman heard I was a widow, he jokingly suggested match.com, which stunned me since that's where my son & daughter-in-law met & they are soul mates. I would like to marry again, but prefer Godmatch.com! This is personal request if it's God's perfect will for a partner for me.
I look forward to the exciting opportunities God has for you & your family in the future. I do hope our paths will cross at one of your concerts & we can spend some time together as I learn more about how I can best pray for & support your ministry.
Blessings,
