Today was a wonderful day... God provided everything we asked for...
We were able to provide Bibles to : 2 Sunday School groups, 1 church for their pews, ( once they are able to reopen ) 2 officers with Avery County Sheriff Department, ( to be further shared with those blessed to ride with them ) 1 Christian Support Group, 1 Food Pantry, 5 Bibles to a Ladies Bible Study and countless Bibles to individuals.
We met Bobby and heard his story.. He and his wife left to go stay with his elderly mother in law, the night before the storm, to return on Saturday finding everything they owned, including their home and five horses completely gone.. Parts of his home were found lodged under the bridge across from the church, but only fragments..
Bobby was more than happy to have the Bibles they lost replaced and never expressed an ounce of bitterness over
his losses.. He was extremely grateful that he and his wife were alive, and glad to get new Bibles.
We met and blessed another unnamed lady who lost everything and is currently living in a camper..
We we're blessed with visits from some long-term and lifetime friends, and made new friendships.
We had people from the community not only drive to us, but walk to where we were, to get new Bibles.. We did some walking ourselves, and was oh, so blessed to find daffodils blooming among the ruins.. This served to remind us it's not just important to bloom, its important to bloom wherever life's storm takes you..
The granddaughters made new friends and also got to experience the joy of giving..
We saw firsthand where multiple lives were lost and left the area, so glad to be alive..
THANK YOU to Minneapolis Baptist and to each individual each business who have given money, prayed for the ministry, bought and donated Bible's, and supported us in any way..
This is your ministry... Your part is just as important and it's not overlooked..
Until next month, enjoy the pictures
