Brett and Jamie served faithfully with The Navigators (helping others know Christ and making Him known) for over 31 years. Brett’s Community Relations ministry function ended due to the financial state of The Navigators in the fall 2024. Brett and Jamie took their first ever sabbatical to seek the Lord for their next steps. 

At the close of their sabbatical, in the spring of 2025, Brett was diagnosed with a terminal lung disease. After a year’s worth of tests, introducing a medication that slows the fibrotic process in his lungs, and tracking the progress of his disease (Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, which mimics the original diagnosis of Pulmonary Fibrosis,) the good news is the doctors have given him a better prognosis of 6-8 years. Brett and Jamie continue to put their trust in the Lord as He will have the final say on just how many years that will be.

Living at 6,000 ft. above sea level with 80% oxygen has had a toll on Brett making breathing quite challenging. Brett and Jamie now have a new mission: Operation Sea Level! The Clarks have sold their home and are packing up to move to the East Coast. The move from Colorado to Florida will be between $6,000 to $8,000 for their household and vehicles. Would you consider a special gift today to help the Clarks with this new chapter: Operation Sea Level! and what the Lord has next for them?
