My husband and I are U.S. missionaries, I like to say we are in the re-construction business! You see we travel to different churches all over Kansas and Oklahoma that have needs, from computers to construction, and then connect them with people that can help meet those needs. It is really similar to what we did for 30 years of pastoring just on a larger scale. We believe that by strengthening the local church, we can expand our reach to the world.

It was late in the morning of the last day of the 2022 Pratt County Fair, but the stands were still packed with business representatives and families Saturday when the last lot came into the 4-H Livestock Premium Auction. As Haley Spitzer walked her late brother Daniel Spitzer’s market steer up, she was followed by Spitzer family members and their closest friends. Then all the 4-Hers in attendance (many in #LiveLikeDaniel t-shirts) gathered around the sale ring, and the auctioneer began his sing-song sales chant. Numerous hands flew in the air to buy Daniel Spitzer’s steer, sharing in the recent tragedy that took Spitzer’s life just a few short weeks earlier. The result was a positive boost that no one could have predicted.
