Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly [is] plenteous,
but the labourers [are] few; Matthew 9:37

Very few people are willing to let go of the comforts of the modern world to 
enjoy the labors of liberty. I have known very few that were willing and 
thankful for the opportunity to carry the burden of freedom for themselves and 
others.

Brother Timothy and his family at His Church at Spoon River were among the few 
who have been willing to
literally put their shoulder to the plow.

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking 
back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Luke 9:62

I regret to inform you that  on the morning of February Seventh, Brother 
Timothy at His Church at Spoon River in Illinois lost Wendy, his wife and 
mother to their children.

Without warning Wendy Kay Howerter died at the Church the Seventh day of 
February. She had shown no sign of having any problem and was cheerfully going 
about the domestic chores of a Mother and Wife. Rachel, their daughter, was in 
the Pastorate at the time and when Wendy became silent and did not answer. 
Rachel called to her and went  looking for her mother. She found her lying down 
and unresponsive.
She called to Timothy, who was working outside but Wendy had already passed 
away.

Wendy Kay is survived by her Husband Brother Timothy, Rachel 12, Caleb 10, 
Samuel 8 and Mathew 3. She will be buried along side her son Joshua in His 
Church cemetery on Friday, February 10, 2006. There will be an open service
there for all who can attend.

There are few that could match the dedication and hard work that has been done 
by the  ministry His Church at Spoon River, in Illinois. The loss of Wendy 
reaches far beyond the personal loss of the family.

We are still planning a portable sawmill demonstration and project soon[date?].
They will be sawing up logs for lumber to be used by the Church in building
projects. A retreat house burned down this last fall. DavidW@hisholychurch.net
