THANK YOU NOTE FROM THE BATSCHELETS
Echo Alliance Family,
    Ashley and I want to thank you all for the love offering you gave us recently. We want to thank you for everything you have done for us over all of these years. Echo Alliance is our church family home, and we will always love your congregation deeply. We will be praying for the whole church during the upcoming months of transition. We trust that God will continue to use you as a light in all of Echo and the surrounding area.
    Finally, thank you for all the love you show for the Lord’s work in Honduras by going and serving. We hope that your trip in March is very impactful.
