A very HOT Saturday here in Sumter today....

Rev. Hanks preps the new unit.

The home is in the Bushes

                                                         Today God sent us to a 69 year old lady who is alone and very ill with MS. She has trouble talking because of the way the heat affects her MS. She is wheelchair bound.  Her air conditioner has not worked in a very long time.

When we arrived we found her home and waiting for us... in this unbelievable heat.  Rev. Hanks and I had a very nice visit with her while we installed her new air conditioner.  I could tell from her conversation that she was losing her hope and faith. She was just beaten down in her situation. She was in a very dark place in her heart.
 During our visit we had a good opportunity to build her up and bring her some joy, all the while the new AC unit was cooling things off for her. She ask us to pray before we left her....But she did not ask for prayer for herself but for her sick friend. So we had a very powerful prayer for her, her children, her healing, her situation, and for her friend. I could feel the mood in the house lifting as we prayed.

You know in Job the scripture says...."And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before".

This is our prayer for her, that as we prayed for her friend today...that our new friend would be blessed twice as much as she was and her troubles would be turned.   Amen

Note..We noticed that her wheel chair ramp in the front of her home was in disrepair......This week we will return to her home and make that better for her as well.    We are so very blessed to be able to minister in this manner....Thank you Lord for sending us!!!
