On February 25, 2023, over 100 people gathered to honor Marty and Cindy Rauer's daughter Jessica. It was a beautiful time of remembering Jessica. More importantly Cindy, Jessica’s mom, honored Jesus. Through her testimony she proclaimed the truth of the Gospel even after going through the deepest, saddest, and darkest season of her life. Watching her daughter, Jessica, battle cancer and ineffably losing her battle. No parent should ever have watch their child suffer through a horrible illness or tragedy and then bury their child, but Marty and Cindy did. And, not only did they bury her, they trusted God with the outcome they would have never chosen.

Vanguard wants to honor Jessica’s legacy and how it has impacted her children and others. After attending Jessica’s celebration of life, I felt like the Lord said, “I want you to honor their faith in me by naming this legacy project after Jessica.”  If you live by faith, your legacy is not behind you but in front of you. It is not in your past but your future, because legacy of faith lives on in generations to come and echoes into eternity.

Any gift given in this name under this category will be used to prepare Vanguard to be debt free by 2037, so we can continue to love more and more people into a real relationship with Jesus Christ for generations to come. You can also complete this form to donate in other ways
 
Thank you in advance for your faithfulness to give to The Jessica Legacy Project!
