DUNAMIS MINISTRIES e.V.
Frank & Catherine Fabiano

March 8, 2010

Dear Friends,

There are no words to tell you how deeply touched and comforted I have been by the outpouring of love and support you have given me over these past weeks. The testimonies, loving compassion, encouragement and faithful prayer support have sustained me moment by moment.

The shock of Frank's sudden, unexpected departure is the most painful trial I have ever walked through. Yet your prayers and words of encouragement have lifted me. In these weeks the Lord has become my Husband in a very real way. He has carried me often in His strong arms, close to His heart, when I was without strength to go on. If He had not,
I know my heart would have shattered. I loved Frank deeply and love him still. Our desire always was to" become one flesh" in the Lord and bring joy to the Father who dreamed it would be so between a man and wife. Judging from the depth of pain, I realize we achieved this in great measure, by the grace of God. When I focus on the truth that Frank is not gone but only gone home and I remember he is with Jesus, his First Love, it brings me deep peace.

Now in this time, I am waiting in the Lord's presence. I need time to grieve, to reflect, and to miss the dearest love, best friend and faithful partner I have ever known. I know the Lord will bring me through this, heal my heart and restore my soul as I remember with thankfulness that we had the most amazing journey together this side of heaven and to celebrate the truth, it is not over …Frank is in my future.

Please continue to pray the Lord's perfect will for me and for His deep healing and peace that passes understanding to guard my heart and mind. The Lord has called me to ride with Him into the future on this earth. The work is not yet done. So, in the timing of the Lord, I will continue with Him to fulfill our mandate…the ministry of Jesus entrusted to us from the very beginning.

"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favour and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendour. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. "         Is 61: 1

May the Lord bless you for your loving kindness.

With heartfelt thankfulness,

Catherine and Family
