I just don't know how to tell this story












Have you ever met someone that was so down, so deep in the hole, so hopeless that they could net even begin to know how to receive a blessing? Please pray for this family we met today. They have been beaten down to the point that they just have no hope. Please pray that God would restore their faith...I am sure I will write more of these folks as God works this situation out for them.

Tonight the Sumter Police Called us...Kind of a reverse 911...

The Sumter Police notified us of a family that was living in a house that had no air conditioner at all. So we responded to the call... We found two young ladies with 3 children and 1baby on the way, living in a single wide mobile home. They had no air conditioning and 1 box fan. She says that they all stay in one room so everyone could get some use out of the fan. We had a good conversation with them and let them  know that they were in the midst of a God moment right now!!  And then out came a new window conditioner..They were blown away !!  She could not believe that God would send her a blessing just like that !! While we installed the unit we had a great God centered conversation. She commented that she was soooo impressed that the local police would call us to help them. She was very thankful indeed!! Then we learned that some times that they had to go days without eating so the kids could eat. We sent them to the Bethesda Church of Gods food pantry and to the churches Angels in cloth clothing project for clothes for them all.... She says that God had answered many prayers for them in one day!!  The whole time we were with them the conversation was centered on God and His Kingdom. You never know how God will send the blessing !!

Air, Food, and Clothing were provided for these kind folks in 1 phone call from a police officer who was moved with compassion. God Provided Once Again !!! and He always will!!  I would like for all of our readers to please mention the members of the Sumter Police Department in their prayers tonight, that God would bless them mightily, and keep them safe.
