Some of you may have heard already, but on Friday, November 21, Rev. Jeff Voorhees of Drenthe CRC, MI, was killed in a automobile accident. He leaves behind his wife Kate and their four children; Calvin, Hannah, Felicity and Gabriel - ranging in ages from 9 mos to 6 years. Before taking the call to Drenthe a big year ago, Jeff served at Pine Creek CRC in Holland, MI. Needless to say this has been devastating to Kate and their family and also very difficult for the Drenthe Church. Jeff was also active in the Returning Church discussions, having a head and heart for both the truth of the Gospel and the lost. Pray for the Voorhees family as well as Drenthe Church, calling upon our good God's grace, mercy and comfort for them.If you would like to read more about what has happened - and even how God is already using this for His glory - you can go to one of the following links and search by name:
