Danielle, Nicole, and Kayla all worked as bartenders at the same bar in Fort Wayne, Indiana. However, they were far more than just co-workers: Danielle and Kayla were cousins, and Nicole was one of their best friends. In the early morning hours of November 9th, 2017, the three women returned to Kayla’s house after a night’s work. As they approached the front of Kayla’s house, the three women were ambushed by an unidentified man in a black hoodie and shot multiple times. Multiple neighbors witnessed the event, including a witness who saw the man fleeing from the scene before police arrived.

When paramedics arrived, Nicole was pronounced dead at the scene. Danielle and Kayla were taken to the hospital, where Kayla later died. Danielle, the lone survivor, was shot ten times: twice in the right ankle, once in the left knee, twice in the left arm, four times in the chest, which miraculously didn’t touch any of her organs, and once in the back.

The shooter remains unknown at this time, but many believe that the women were targeted. In a statement released to the public, the police announced that they had determined that the shootings were not random. Danielle, who did not see the shooter’s face, does not know who would have targeted them or why. However, she fears that whomever it was may come back to “finish” her as well. Police have not released any information about a potential suspect in the case.

Danielle is still recovering from this tragic event, physically and mentally. Since the incident, she has suffered from PTSD and panic attacks. She does not have health insurance, but still requires costly medical care for her injuries. On top of all of this, Danielle is raising five children, but is unable to work as often while she recovers physically from the shooting. Danielle’s grandmother has set up a GoFundMe account to help Danielle with her medical and living expenses. If you would like to donate, go here.

Meanwhile, the search for the shooter continues. The case is still open and being investigated and police are searching for leads. If you have any information about the identify of the gunman, please call the Fort Wayne Police Department at (260) 427-1230.

Heirs with Christ

You haven’t received the spirit of slaves that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the spirit of God’s adopted children by which we call out, “Abba! Father!” — Romans 8:15 | Names of God Bible (NOG) The Names of God Bible (without notes) © 2011 by Baker Publishing Group.

Proverbs 3:27-28 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it. Do not say to your neighbour, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.

As believers, we must reflect God’s goodness, generosity, and justice to the people around us. The Lord cares deeply about how we treat our neighbours. Our love for our fellow men is a reflection of our love for God and our trust in His sovereignty and justice. Look for opportunities to bless someone today. Some of you can do a little, others can do more, but all of us need to do good for those who need it when we have the power and the resources to do it

Jesus never looks away from a crying heart. He said, "A broken and a contrite heart, I will not despise" (Psalm 51:17).

Jesus bottles every tear in a bottle, it says. He knows every precious drop that trickles down your cheek . He feels every hurt. And He knows when you have been exposed to enough harassment from the enemy. He steps in and says, "Enough!” He promises to come, right on time, to wipe away your tears and give you joy for all the days and years of mourning. God's Word says, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5).

"Call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall honour Me." Psalm 50:15

Most of the time when trouble comes, we first phone a friend, tell a few others, ask for suggestions and finally when nothing works out we cry out to God. But God is inviting us to call upon Him in the day of trouble. He wants to deliver you, He wants to help you. Why? Simply because you are His child. When God delivers you, His Name will be glorified and honoured. Remember who to call when trouble comes. You don't need a number; all you need to do is call His name, Jesus!

THE WORD FOR 13/1

"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:26 

"It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. 2 Samuel 22:33

"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 

God longs to fill us with strength to accomplish the good work laid before us. He will make us strong in Him. Don't go through your day in your own strength. Instead, seek out the hand of your heavenly Father and allow Him to help you today.

“The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something, and enter God’s realm where everything is possible. He specializes in the impossible. Nothing is too great for His almighty power. Nothing is too small for His love.”
