My heart is still full from our time together at the Christmas network gathering on Sunday! I’m so grateful for everyone who was able to come and share such a rich time of prayer, worship, and fellowship with others in simple church communities from the area!
I know many who expressed a great desire be there to connect with others but were unable to attend. Please know that we are praying that you are encouraged in your faith and comforted by the Holy Spirit. You are not alone in this journey, which can often feel discouraging at times. If you ever find yourself in that place, I hope you will reach out—we are here to serve and walk with one another.

I also invite anyone who would like to receive our family newsletter, The Duerson Dispatch, to sign up here as well. I send it infrequently, but I’ll be sharing a year-end update and some fun things coming in 2026.
Thank you all for journeying together. I pray that each of you has a Merry Christmas, full of surprise gifts from our Father!

We are grateful to be in our 15th year of serving simple/house church folks across the region. This is possible because the Lord has led others to support our family. If you would like to learn more about joining our support team, you can do so here. Words cannot express the gratitude we have for all who help make this possible! – Gavin (for Karla and the whole crew)
