A Call to Prayer

Many of you Northlanders remember Katie (Layer) Jackson. If Katie went to Northland before your time, then you probably are more familiar with her brothers, Ben and Casey Layer. Katie's husband Jack was killed in Iraq yesterday. He leaves behind his wife and four young children -the oldest child being six years old, and the youngest only 7 months. Please be in prayer for Katie and those precious children!

THanks for sharing. I was good friends with Ben & Sarah (Johnson) Layer at nbbc and I once went to an artist series with Jack. I don't know what to say but that we'll be praying for comfort and grace for Katie for her unbearable loss.

Thank you for sharing that request. I am so sad for Katie. I can't believe they have 4 children. Do you have a way of contacting her with a card?? Thanks for your sensitivity to her and also for sharing the "his needs/her needs" post. Very good and convicting. I just read "For Women Only". That was so insightful as well. Take care.

Everyone here at Northland is praying for her and her family.

Carissa,
I would be happy to give you Katie's mailing address. If you can give me your email address, I'll pass it on. I also gave NBBC her contact information.
Were you friends with Jack or Katie? Katie is such a sweetheart!
