Hi All. Below is a letter from another NVEI shareholder to me. Craig and Kathy need our help now! By the grace of God this isn't about you or I. Please help. Any questions feel free to email me at [e-mail]. Thank You!

Over the course of the last two weeks I have spent considerable time in discussion with Craig and Kathy Davis and in prayerful thought as to how I can best support our brother and sister in their desperate situation. First, it is important that I give you some background on Craig and Kathy. Craig worked at the John C. Stennis Space Center (NASA) for 17 years before his debilitating automobile accident when a drunk driver hit him head on at 90 mph. Craig suffered neck and back spinal column injuries and one of his legs was severely crushed. He is only now beginning to walk without assistance after three and one half years. When his sick leave and vacation time ran out, Craigs' coworkers donated their personal vacation time to keep him on the payroll as long as possible. Craig told me that he was shocked when he received his W-2 to discover that his coworkers had donated the equivalent of $15,000 to him in vacation time. Craigs' income was in an instant reduced from $4000 monthly to $1000 a month in disability pay. Kathy is employed and doing the best she can to keep the family afloat, but with two children the family has found it impossible to make ends meet.

To understand the soul of our brother, it is important that I share two heart wrenching statements that Craig made to me during our many hours of telephone calls and emails. First, Craig said that despite his current situation in life and the ongoing pain he must endure, he would gladly "take the hit again" from the drunk driver that hit him at 90 mph to protect the vehicle behind him. That vehicle contained a young mother and her child. Second, Craig said that he doesn't care if he has to "live in a box and eat roaches, as long as my salvation is in place and my family is ok".

My heart tells me that we must do much more than just pray for Craig and Kathy. So, I have been led to form the Davis Family Fund. My Pastor, Pastor John Jackson has graciously agreed to administer the fund raising effort. He will manage it through Vision Quest Ministries, a 501C3 nonprofit corporation (Federal id # 88-0453461). All donations are tax deductible. They can also accept donations of shares of stock, which allow contributors to take tax write offs on the full appreciated value of stocks without paying Federal or state income taxes. If you wish to donate appreciated stock, you will need to direct your broker to transfer your stock directly to the appropriate Vision Quest brokerage account. Contact Pastor John at the telephone number provided later in this email for the account number.

All funds collected will be forwarded to Brother Gary Sumrall, the Pastor at Salem Missionary Baptist church where Craig and Kathy attend church in Picayune, MS.

Donations may be sent to:

Vision Quest Ministries
P. O. Box 275,
Genoa, NV 89411.

Please include "Davis Family Fund" in the memo section of your check.

I am also asking that each of the prayer group members ask for a special Love Offering when they attend their respective churches this Sunday. Craig and Kathy need significant help and they need it now as their foreclosure date is July 1st.


If you have any questions regarding this request, please feel free to email Pastor John Jackson at [e-mail]. If you would like to speak with him personally, please call him at Carson Valley Christian Center at [phone]
