Testimony Time
Most of the work that we have been doing down here in Louisiana fixing houses that were damaged during the hurricane has been for poor people who have no one to turn to but the church. They have no insurance and no money for repairs.
Proverbs 19:17 says, "He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done.
A team from Indiana and I were sitting around having lunch today at the house that we were repairing for a couple in their 70's. Their house had about 5' of water in it and they lost everything. He was telling us that during the hurricane they were staying in Georgia and while he was praying the Lord spoke to him and told him not to worry because He would supply all of their needs. The Lord rebuked him when he reminded the Lord that he had no money to put the house back together. The Lord told him that He would supply their needs and not to worry.
After they got home and saw the condition of their house with about 6" of mud on the floor and everything in it ruined, the Lord again reminded him not to worry, He would take care of it. The next day about 15 young people showed up from a church up north and cleaned out the house and carried everything out to the street. The following day another group, this time several doctors showed up and finished cleaning out the house.
Shortly after our church here in Louisiana contacted him and told him that we were going to do the repairs and pay for the materials to put the house back together. As we were sitting there listening to him telling us that we were the ones God had in mind to come and do the repairs I don't think there was a dry eye in the bunch.
What a blessing to be the answer to someone's prayers.
We have had contractors come down from Illinois who have told us that they didn't have much work so they took off to come down to help us. When they returned home they contacted us and told us that the Lord had flooded them with work since they returned home, so much work that they have decided to return and help us for another week.
About a month ago a team came from Indiana with a crippled man who had to use a cane to walk. He said that he didn't know what he was doing down here but felt the Lord impressing him to come down and help with what he could. He walked around the project and with one hand on his cane and with his other hand cleaned up the debris and put it into a wheelbarrow to be hauled away by someone else. The next Sunday after the team arrived home he showed up at church walking without his cane.
Good things happen when one obeys the Word of God.
