Since launching in June 2025, Stronger Family Services has served 67 families in crisis.

The best part? All 67 families are still together today. 🙌

Zero separations. Zero entries into the foster system. Just stronger families.

As a 100% donor-funded ministry, this impact is only possible because of people like you who choose to bridge the gap. Your support goes directly to supporting families in crisis!

A Celebration of Faith and Legacy
Our hearts are full as we reflect on the beautiful Celebration of Life for Dr. Juston Gates. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us in person, tuned in via livestream, or sent prayers and support from afar.

A special thank you to those who worked behind the scenes to make the service so meaningful. It was a privilege to gather not just to celebrate his life, but more importantly, to celebrate his profound love for God and his tireless passion for serving Him.

It is with a heavy heart and great sense of loss that we announce the passing of our brother in Christ, devoted father, beloved pastor, and President of MBCH, Dr. Juston Gates. Dr. Gates was recently hospitalized for injuries sustained on a business-related hunting trip, and he eventually succumbed to those injuries on April 23, 2026 at 12:02am.

Dr. Gates went to be with the Lord with his family standing by his side. He was well known for his love of and obedient service to Jesus Christ. He had a deep love for his family, both his family at home as well as his MBCH family. Dr. Gates will be greatly missed by all those who knew him, and we continue to welcome prayers for his family and friends, as well as for MBCH leadership as we mourn this great loss.

A Memorial service for Dr. Juston Gates will be held on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, Details to follow.

AWESOME changes for 2026.

1. We are changing the name to Stitched in Love. The new logo is at the bottom of the letter.

2. We are not going to have a Quilt Auction. Instead, we want to encourage you to donate quilts to the many programs of MBCH. We serve many moms and families and need quilts that will bless the children and families in our care. We give out over 1000 Quilts each year, but know that the need is greater. We know you can meet the need!

3. MBCH also has other sewing project needs that they could use your help with. If you are interested in making some of these projects or having a Charity Sew Day, please contact Ben King with MBCH Foundation at [email protected] or 816.472.9072.

4. The Quilted Cow Raymore is Hosting 3 Charity Sew Days and a Charity Sew Retreat on September 25- 26, 2026.
