Amanda Crouch
My name is Amanda and I lost my husband to suicide last year. I had no idea how I was going to piece my life back together and where to start. I endured many years of abuse in all forms (mental, physical, financial). Everything was in my husband’s name only, including our stocks. If I asked to add my name to our accounts, it would result in more abuse, so I gave up and started to slowly die inside. His last act of abuse was to make sure all our stocks would be transferred to his mother to ensure I would have nothing after his death. I had a long list of things I had to do and didn’t know how I could possible do it on my own.
When I found Missing Man Ministry, I felt like God had answered my prayers. They helped me buy food and gas and connected me with an attorney to help me sort through my legal issues. Then they connected me with a financial planner that investigated if I could legally get my stocks back. All these people helped me for free and were so kind and caring.
I had 3 storage units that I had to go through and condense into one; and Missing Man helped me move everything into one location. When I had to sell my husband’s car, I took it down to a consignment shop here in town and they didn’t charge me anything to sell it. The only way to describe all this help I received is that God touched their hearts to help me in every way I needed. For me it was a miracle.
I finally got to a point that I could start looking for work to get myself back on my feet and Missing Man Ministry gave me a gift card to buy some new clothes, suitable for interviews. I had very little and nothing to wear for interviews.
I am eternally grateful to Missing Man Ministry. God showed me that there are still good people (and men) in this world that truly care about other people. I feel hopeful for my future now for the first time in over a decade. And I now have a job!
Thank you Missing Man Ministry for the many blessings you have bestowed upon me. May God bless you abundantly for all your good works.

Robin Crocker
I’m humbled to be part of Missing Man Ministry (M3). After my husband’s passing in February 2019, I was confused of what to do. During Cornerstone’s service, they showed a clip of M3 helping a widowed woman. After watching the clip, I was a little hesitant to reach out, but I had been praying for God’s guidance. At that time, my three children and I moved out of our house and rented it out as we rented an apartment. I was contemplating whether to sell our home or to keep it.
After reaching out to David Doyle, everything just seemed to fall into place. He introduced me to Craig and Lori Rochin who helped me financially decide whether it’s better to stay or sell my house. After deciding to go back home with peace in my heart, I asked David to help us move back into our home. I was surprised to meet men in Christ who helped us in so many ways. They helped us mount our TV, install blinds, fix our door locks, fix electrical issues, fix plumbing issues, replace our garage door, and they even cleaned the apartment we left behind. I am so thankful that they helped my family and I in our time of need.
I’m also thankful for David for introducing me to Charlene Beasley, who was actually my neighbor. Charlene encouraged, prayed and shared her life story with me. I’m grateful to know her and her strong faith in God, as she encouraged me to anchor my faith in Christ during my time of grievance. Philippians 4:19 says, “But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." To me, this means that He will not only provide the right people to come into our lives, but He will also show us that if we trust him, He will direct our paths. The Lord directed my path to Missing Man Ministry, and I am blessed to have been connected with them.
Since I’ve connected with M3 and have seen how they help widowed women and children, it inspired me to help others as well. Sometimes it feels like a long road for me and my kids, but I know what the Lord said and I hold on to it. In Jeremiah 29:11, it says “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. Missing Man Ministry as a whole has gone above and beyond to help me tremendously in ways I couldn’t have even asked for. I truly experienced their commitment in helping widowed women and children like my family.
I cannot express enough how blessed I am to be connected to them. I hope Missing Man Ministry will continue to be a light to other widowed families in need the way they have been to us. God bless Missing Man Ministry.
Sincerely,
The Quintero Family

Kim Lamb
My name is Kim Lamb in October of 2016 my life changed very drastically my husband was diagnosed with a terminal Brain tumor with a very
short life expectancy. M3 was introduced to us because of a wonderful man my husband had worked with in the past, but they had remained friends even in the many years they hadn't worked together they were those type of friends that no matter how long it's been since you have spoken to or seen each other they always just picked up like it was yesterday. He came along side us and supported in any way the ministry could weather it was someone to sit with my husband if I needed to go do shopping or errands since I was his caregiver or to sending in house cleaners so it was one less thing for me to do. He also prayed with us and renewed our faith. No matter what I needed they were only a phone call away even when I had no idea of what I needed. After my husband passed they helped me with numerous things I needed help with at my house. (My husband was my fix it man he could fix and figure out anything)and theyare still there to this day to help me even when I just need some advice, guidance, or prayers they are there. I have been to the last 3 of their foundation dinners and each and everyone of them give and work tirelessly for widows like myself and children of that have lost their parents to help in anyway they can. I am truly blessed to have them in my life along with god guiding me even when I feel completely lost or on the right track. God bless you all for the service you do.
