From the Pastors of Living Water Fellowship:

In the past few days, Pastor/Evangelist Richard "Little Bear" Wheeler has begun receiving inquiries through his Mantle Ministries office regarding an e-mail letter that was sent to home school leaders across the nation. The e-mail appears to be the most recent in a campaign of communiques by Mark and Jennifer Epstein that are designed to personally discredit Doug Phillips. We were grieved that such an e-mail would be sent, and deeply saddened to find that the e-mail contained inaccuracies and misleading information. We believe the letter discredits its authors.

The pastors of Living Water Fellowship desire that it be known that no issue exists between Living Water Fellowship, Boerne Christian Assembly or its leadership. We sincerely pray that the Epsteins will reexamine their behavior in the light of God's Word and in consideration of both churches, Vision Forum, Mantle Ministries, and the homeschool community at large. Please understand that the Lord's desire is always unity.

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" (Psalm 133:1)

In His providential care,
Pastors Al Mendenhall, Michael Bakke, Doug Swanson, Richard "Little Bear" Wheeler
