FAVORITE STORY

When I was leading a group in Vermont, our service site fell through. We had a last minute request from a home that I was not able to check out beforehand which would normally lead me to say no. However, I felt the Lord say to go. It turned out, it was the home of a single mom who had kids that had special needs and she had a history of trauma and also gave back to the community in so many ways. The team was able to then spend the week cleaning her yard, building relationship and be a tangible answer to prayer. It showed me and everyone the power of saying yes and really trusting the Lord.
