Dear Graceland Church,

We are writing to inform our church what many of you may already know. Destiney
Perry, a 16-year-old member of our church has been missing since Wednesday evening.

Since her disappearance, there has been an outpouring of concern and support from
our congregation and the broader community. Micah and Stevie are deeply grateful for your
prayers, including those who gathered Thursday evening for a time of prayer.

Currently, the family is actively working with law enforcement and private investigators
who have been very helpful. All of us appreciate their diligence and expertise in this matter.

At this time, please refrain from reaching out directly to the Perry family so they can
maintain clear lines of communication with the authorities and investigative teams.

The Perry’s along with each of us are members of the same family, the household of
God (Eph. 2:19). “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all
rejoice together” (1 Cor. 12:26).

We are asking that our church family joins together praying without ceasing for the safe
return of Destiney.

“In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my
voice; my cry came before him, into his ears (Ps. 18:6).

In Christ,

Graceland Church Elders
