Elizabethtown,KY

I would like to introduce you to some dear friends, the Marlette family. This is Josh and Charlene and their four beautiful children. (From the oldest to youngest... Aiden, Zoe, Isabella and Diego. Josh has been been serving as assistant pastor at Calvary Chapel Wildwood Yucaipa, CA. Three years ago Josh and Charlene lead a short-term missions team out to Ukraine. Since that time we've had the privilege of getting to know them and there family. Their friendship has been a huge blessing.
Recently the Lord led the Marlette family to leave sunny California and move to Elizabethtown, Kentucky, to plant a church. Please keep this church plant in your prayers, that God would use this new work to grow His Kingdom. I'd also encourage you to check out their blog here.
I ask that you would pray specifically for Charlene during this time. Her father, Rudy, battled leukemia during the same time as Koren's father. He received a stem cell transplant a year ago, after which he was in complete remission. A few days before Josh and Charlene left for KY, they received the news that Rudy's cancer had returned. Rudy began chemotherapy on July 16th, the same day that Josh and Charlene moved to KY. Please pray for healing for Rudy and for the Marlette's and their entire family during this time.
