Nathan and Grandma get a new home.

This is part of the story about how our God has blessed Nathan and his grandma. First a little history about these two and how God brought them and our ministry across each other.
Nate and his Grandma live in an extreme rural area of our state "Way out in the country".All they have is each other. Grandma is around 73 years old and Nate is in his late 20s. Have you ever met a person that no matter how hard he tries he just can not catch a break ? Well, Nathan is that guy to the 10th power. Nate has had a very hard time working and Grandma is on a small fixed income. They do the best they can with what they have. They have lived in a very small mobile home that was built in the early 1960s. They have lived there for more than 16 years. They are living in a field that is owned by a local farmer. This 1960 mobile home has NO HEAT or AIR CONDITIONER. In the winter they would move a kerosene heater from room to room for heat. It leaked every where possible. All I can really say about it is...it is more than 47 years old and it was falling down around them. This was truly a bad situation. We met Nate and Grandma through their affiliation with the local volunteer fire department. (I tell you more about that in another Nate story) So..One day Grandma was involved in a grave auto accident. She was injured and was in very serious condition. She had many broken bones and all sorts of internal injuries. She was in the hospital for more than 6 months. When she comes home she would be in a wheel chair and or use a walker for a long time or possibly even forever.

HERE IS THE PROBLEM (or the opportunity to reach out)

Her home is so small and falling down that her wheel chair / walker would not move in the home at all. She could not even fit them trough the front door and you know with those medical issues and fixed income...What would she do ? What could she do ?
Just Pray !

Ok lets back up a bit...Just after the accident Jason and I were talking about the situation when we both were given (from above) the solution to this issue. GET HER A NEW HOME ! yep that was it, so we asked, how do we do this God ? We were bothabsoulty sure that this would work out in a grand way. Because we were both sure that we had heard from heaven. The next day I was at the fire station talking with a long time baptist pastor from the church that Grandma attended. He was saying how he just wanted to buy her a better home and help them out. WHAT DID HE JUST SAY ? A Better home? Do you think that was a devine appointment or what? I began to share the burden that Jason and I felt for the situation and during that conversation I felt the witness of the Holy Spirit and so did he. Well from that point on things just took off. We began to look for a used newer home. His Deacon's went to work on all of those things that come up when you are house shopping Jason and I were running down leads. We found the home in the Mobile home lot right next to our church. the guy told us that we could have it for $3800.00 and he would move it and set it up for $1300.00. We agreed and bought the home for them. The local Fire Department, (Sumter County Rembert Station) provided much of the work force for this project then another church in Kershaw County heard about what was going on and asked if they could build a wheel chair ramp on the new home. God had put together a great team and all was running well.

The new home is a 70ft X 12ft two bed room, two bath,large open den and kitchen with a laundry room. It is about 900 sq ft. Much bigger than the old home. Then one of the deacons told us that he had found a central heat and air unit for the home.
That's right God provided heat and air as well. Why not ?

Today the home was delivered. Next will be the new decks and the new inside paint and the heat and air hook up. I will provide photos as this progresses.

Think about this question a while.........Have you felt the lead or push to reach out and help someone lately ? Did you do it ?
