Hastings, Michigan – The city of Hastings, Michigan, is uniting in prayer this week after local churches began sharing requests for support for 14-year-old Tiago Coipel, the son of Rudy and Heather Coipel. The appeal, first circulated by New Life Assembly of Hastings, has quickly spread through social media, with faith groups and residents offering prayers and words of encouragement for the young teen.
While details about Tiago’s condition have not been publicly disclosed, the collective response has underscored Hastings’ close-knit community spirit and the strength of local faith networks. “We’re standing together for this family,” one church member said. “Our town knows how to rally when someone is in need.”
In a time when communities often find solace and solidarity through faith, Hastings’ response reflects the enduring role of local churches as centers of compassion and hope.
As messages continue to pour in online, residents and church leaders alike are urging others to keep the Coipel family in their thoughts and prayers, demonstrating once again the quiet power of collective care in small-town America.
