July 20 - Stories of the Day

We helped a family near Sneedville. We’re praying that the Lord will change hearts and minds in this family.  The family seemed a little bitter against their neighbor.  It was a blessing to be able to work with all of the young people in this church (Cornerstone) with this families.  We saw lots of positive interaction in the families. The One Accord ministry center is awesome!  Our Michigan organizations could definitely learn about serving the community from this group. Tom McCarthy

It is good to be doing the Lord’s work. Praying with and for them adds to the ministry of serving them by doing projects around their homes.  There is SO MUCH work to be done, but the little work we can do is a blessing to everyone involved.  I enjoyed praying with a family for God’s blessing on their neighbor, then praising the neighbor for her beautiful flowers that God had given her. – Jamie Nicholson

There has been SO much going on!  Members of teams heading to different homes.  They aren't only working on building ramps, etc. and repairing homes, but sitting and visiting with the residents.  Praying with them.  Even singing with them.  The neighbors of the different homes all come in and visit as well.  Work at the Centre is busy.  They are in need of many hands to help with the different activities that go on here each day.  Seeing God work in many many ways.  So often our hearts are broken for the people the come in to receive help.  God has given us many opportunities to sit and visit with them.  To encourage them and remind them that they can have hope....hope is in Christ alone.  God is working on both the hearts of the people we are meeting along the way, and the team members hearts too.
