- Miscarriage
- Car Accident
- Culture Fatigue
- An encouraging time with Kristin’s parents during their visit in March
- Home Assignment 2014 – Sep. 3- Jan. 15!
Thank you so much for your prayers and support! We are so thankful to the Lord for all of you and how you encourage and strengthen us in so many ways. As always, feel free to email or even give us a call on our Skype number – 612-284-5554. We would love to hear from you!

Derek and Kristin Dearth 
I was glad to read your update, and saddened by the hardships. We too have experienced 2 miscarriages in the past, and their effects are not always what would be “expected”. What a blessing that after the downs and ups of the past months your parents could come, be an encouragement and help. We are praying for you, Kristin, Derek, and Charlie! We shall see what blessings in disguise God has in store for you – and one day, how all this is part of His plan coming into fruition.
Wow – what a year you’ve had already! So glad your parents came when they did – God’s timing, of course! We’ll be praying for you guys afresh! I scrolled down to see the post & photos of Connie and Terry’s visit – what a blessing but oh, it must be SO hard to say goodbye at the end of the visit. Glad to hear you’ll be in the States for a few months later this year. Keep on keeping on Kristin and Derek!! We appreciate your committment to go where most wouldn’t go but exactly where He has called YOU! Love and prayers, Gail Wilson
