A Note To Our NewSpring Family

A Note to Our NewSpring Family,

With a broken heart, I want to ask you to please pray for our former staff member Davey Blackburn. Tuesday, Davey came home from the gym to discover a home invasion had taken place at his house, and his wife Amanda had suffered a gunshot wound. She was immediately rushed to the hospital.

We’ve learned more devastating news that as a result of her injuries, Amanda has passed away Wednesday morning.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with who Davey is, he came on staff in 2008 and served with us for four years. Davey served as the Fuse Campus Pastor for our very first satellite campus in Greenville. During his time on staff, Davey married his beautiful wife, Amanda, and in 2012 the Lord laid on Davey's heart to plant a church in Indianapolis, Indiana. Their dream was to create a place to connect with people who normally wouldn’t connect with church. As a church, we were so proud of Davey and believed in this calling on his life so much that we supported him and Resonate Church financially. 

At this point I am talking with Davey consistently and trying to determine how our church can best help him and his family in the coming days. Right now I’m asking our church family to pray. Pray for Davey, his family, the investigation, and that justice will be served. As we know more or if there is anything else we need to do as a church, we will let you know.
