(Petition for a re-vote)

Quentin and Christina Unger have given so much to the Picture Butte EMC. They moved their family, their home, everything to Picture Butte to be a part of this church.

They felt God calling them to this church, they fell in love with this church, with the people in the church.

They repaired marriages, built friendships, gave unconditional love to all the people of this church.

Quentin and Christina are our friends, our fellow brother and sister in Christ, and we turned our backs on them.

They prayed for us, made food for us, washed our feet, sang with us, ate with us, laughed and cried with us.

Through the hard time their faith never faltered, their praying never ceased.

Each Sunday Quentin preached the word of God, and oh how wonderfully good he is at that! His words touched out hearts and souls!

Christina (aka Chrissy) always busy with their adorable boys, but never to busy to hold our hand and pray with us. Always patient and kind with enough love for all of us.

They are disciples of the Lord, Ambassadors of Christ, meek and humble, forgiving ad loving, and we took them for granted!

I am writing this Petition in hope that many will sign it, and persuade those who voted the Ungers out, to change their minds and hearts.

I have no desire to divide the church, I have not made this to upset people, but rather to pray about this matter and to see if this really is what they want.

I have been hearing so many stories from people who feel just as lost as I do about the situation with the Ungers and honestly it has been a lot to process while trying to keep focused on the goal. People keep reaching out to whisper about what is happening behind the scenes and it is clear that we are not the only ones who feel like we made a massive mistake when we turned our backs on them.

I honestly did not think so many people would come forward like this and it makes me feel like maybe there is still a path back to healing for our church. Seeing how much the Ungers meant to everyone really drives home why this matters so much because they gave everything to our community and we need to show them that we remember.

Quentin and Christina are very inspiring! Quentin has a great way of bringing out Gods word to the people. I have grown in my faith because of his sermons. And Christina was the very first to welcome me and my brothers and sisters the PBMC. It really made us feel welcome. I thank God for bringing them to this area and I hope to see them stay!

They have helped out my family in so many ways. They helped us clean our from the fire we had and been by our side when my parents went to court about important things. I hate for them to go. The ungers are like family. I love you guys.

I am blown away that Quinten and Christina were voted out. They have made a huge difference in the Picture Butte Mennonite Church. And they have helped me through so much as well, I am crushed to hear that they might not be staying. Please keep praying for the them and that God will show them his plan for them.

The Ungers have helped our family incredibly. We hope and pray the Ungers are able to stay at the Picture Butte EMC as they're the reason our family has become so close in Christ. We are forever grateful!

I'm having a hard time believing that this is actually happening. Me ad my husband have received nothing but love and many prayers from Pastor Quentin and Christina. I will be very sad and disappointed if they have to leave. The church has grown soo much since they came,it won't be the same without Pastor Quentins sermons.

Our church has grown so much since the Ungers have joined. This has been devastating to me as I know it has to many others. So many people have come to Christ through the Ungers including my family! As I see it, we can't afford to lose them..

I still can't believe this church let them go! The church definitely went down hill after that! And they hit rock bottom once they pushed our the actual preacher, Mr. Ben Dyck! So glad we left to join a church that values cultural diversity!
