An Upstate church has leased a home, purchased furniture and filled a pantry for a family thousands of miles away.

\n The Springwell Church mission team has devised an elaborate homecoming for one of its missionary families.<\/p>\n
The Evans family is expected in Travelers Rest on July 16.<\/p>\n
Danny and Debbie Evans and their seven children work in Thailand. It’s part of an eight-year mission in Asia. The Evans are taking a year-long sabbatical to rest and share their story with churches in the Southeast.<\/p>\n
The family of nine will return to the United States with two suitcases each.<\/p>\n
“They aren’t bringing a truck,” Springwell Associate Pastor Dan Dather told WYFF News 4’s Beth Brotherton. “They’re bringing suitcases. It is hard to move in a suitcase.”<\/p>\n
To make the family more comfortable, church members plan to furnish a leased home, fill the refrigerator with food and put two cars in the driveway. The church is seeking donations from its members and the community.<\/p>\n
The list of needed items is long.<\/p>\n
“A lawn mower, dry goods, all the things they will need, hair dryers and such,” missions team leader Dan Howard said.<\/p>\n
Dather and Howard hope to make the Evans comfortable and thank them for their sacrifice.<\/p>\n
“They are already uprooted as missionaries, they leave familiar surroundings. This is a coming home,” Dather said.<\/p>\n
If you’d like to donate, or purchase the family a gift card, you can contact the Springwell Church office at 268-2299.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
