It's hard to put into words what Eric Goodale meant to our team and to so many people in the communities we serve...the communities he served. We grieve the loss of a dear friend, faithful teammate, and man who deeply loved Jesus.

Eric came to The Well Knoxville just before we opened the Resource Center doors in May 2019. He first served as Team Lead Care Coordinator and later as Resource Center Manager. During that time, he sat in more than 6,000 client appointments, made more than 550 home visits, and personally welcomed over 15,000 people through our doors.

While those numbers reflect tremendous impact, they don't begin to tell the story of Eric.

With a bright smile and joyful spirit, Eric cared deeply about the things that mattered to other people. He had Hope for people, even when they couldn't see it for themselves.

Eric's ministry didn't stop when he left work, it went with him wherever he went. He prayed with people in parking lots, continued conversations while picking up a last-minute supper item at the grocery store, looked at vehicles that needed repairs, scraped and painted homes, and stepped in to help wherever he saw a need. An avid fisherman, Eric even kept an extra fishing pole in his trunk in case he met someone who wanted to learn how to fish...and over the years, he gave many of those poles away.

And Eric prayed. A lot.

At the end of nearly every client appointment, he would say, "You're welcome to say no, but I'm going to pray for you anyway. So, is there anything specific you'd like me to pray for?" Only two people ever declined...and one came back about 20 minutes later and asked him to pray after all.

If you knew Eric, you knew he remembered your name. The truth is, he remembered the name of every person he met. He was a fisher of men. He saw value in every person. Most of all, he loved Jesus.

Eric loved because Jesus first loved him. That love shaped the way he treated others. It gave him hope to share, grace to extend, and a reason to keep showing up for people.

He was also a faithful teammate. Many mornings, Eric arrived early to cook breakfast for the Well team. He treasured gathering around the table, sharing a meal, and making time for conversation. Those mornings around the kitchen island in our program room are memories we will always cherish.

We'll miss his prayers, his smile, his hugs, his friendship, those mornings around the island before the doors opened, and seeing him worship with his arms raised high.
We are praying for the people Eric served. Many of them will grieve his loss, too. We pray they will continue to know the Hope and love Eric shared so freely.

If you'd like to honor Eric's memory, talk to someone new today. Learn their name. Save them a seat. Pray for them. Believe in them, especially when they can't see hope for themselves. That's what Eric did. He pointed people to Jesus.

Please keep Eric's wife, Brenda, and their children, Elizabeth, Cassin Garr, William, and Grace, in your prayers. Many will feel his absence deeply. Even in our grief, we rejoice in Eric's Homecoming. Death is painful, but it does not have the final victory, because our hope is in Jesus.

We had a great group yesterday for our Make Room Conference! We were able to gain a deeper understanding of the different types of poverty that exists, the language and hidden rules aren't even aware of, and ultimately how addressing poverty is much deeper than fixing one specific need- and how The Well steps in to walk with people through it.

If you weren't able to attend but are still interested in learning more, we have several resources on our website (https://thewelliowa.org/) or reach out to us!

We love our thrift store, and it is our hope is to open a Resource Center in Newton too!

This would provide a place for us to meet with community members who may be in a tough spot. We want to work with them to provide support and ultimately walk with them towards a more stable life. Because everyone's needs are different, and we also seek to partner with existing resources in the community, there is a wide variety of support that we provide. 🤍

More information can be found below or on our website: https://thewelliowa.org/

If you'd like to help open the Resource Center in Newton donations can be made at https://thewelliowa.org/donate/

Thank you for your care for Newton 🤍
