HIS WIFE WAS MURDERED: "Statement from Davey Blackburn | Resonate Church (Indianapolis)

"It's impossible to communicate all the emotions
my heart has been forced to process. My wife was
such a beautiful, gracious, loving woman of God. I
have not only lost my ministry partner and
support but also my very best friend. There is no
way to prepare yourself for circumstances like
these. As deeply as I am hurting I am hopeful and
confident that good things will come of this. I rest
in the truth of Romans 8:28 that God works all
things together for the good of those who love
Him and who are called according to His purpose.
Thank you for understanding my desire to take
these next few days to continue to grieve for
Amanda Grace. My focus right now is to let The
Lord minister to my heart as I continue to
shepherd little Weston's. I'll be taking this time to
focus on being a great follower of Jesus, dad,
family member, and pastor to our growing church.
Amanda made it her life's calling to love and
serve everyone she knew. Even more, she has
made it her life's mission to see as many people
as possible come to know Jesus as their personal
Savior. I know that in her death and legacy even
more people will come to a saving faith in Christ.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt her desire for
me would be to continue what we've started here
in Indy. I hold firm to the belief that God is still
good, that He takes our tragedy and turns it into
triumph, and that the best truly is yet to come.
-Davey Blackburn"
