Meeting with Kevin, Karen & William

Kevin, Karen and I met with a gentleman, who was in need of new eyeglasses to continue driving safely. Several years ago, he started experiencing anxiety attacks, which has affected his health and vision, and also his job. He is currently unemployed, but he is still interviewing for jobs and waiting to hear back.

Our new friend was an active part of a church in this area when he first moved out here, but recently has not had a church that he calls home. In the past, he had experienced the Spirit of God in a very real and intense manner, but he has recently not felt His presence in the same way with his recent hardships. We prayed for our guest, that he may experience God again, and he was thankful for our time of fellowship among believers, and for our ministry's help in providing new eyeglasses. He also wanted our church to know that we stood out to him, because of the personal level of involvement from all our volunteers, and the fact that Sandi remembered him and took time to pray for him individually. I think this is a powerful reminder that our ministry is not just serving food and providing shelter, but reaching out personally to fellow brothers/sisters and welcoming others to our family.
