This is an amazing anwer to prayer for this homeless family from the previous post. . .
They received their notice that last night was their last night at Salvation Army. Prayers from all of you went up and the Dad received two job offers today. Permanent jobs! I think he is taking them both. One is a night shift.
They were about to lose their phone service as they owed over $400 on back bills. Someone stepped forward and payed that bill off for them!
Someone stepped forward and gave them gas money to get them through until a paycheck comes in!
Someone stepped forward and bought 7 bags worth of food for them!
Someone stepped forward and gave them a care package along with a Wal-Mart gift card.
Salvation Army gave them two more weeks of stay! They were extremely happy and very grateful and I could hear the relief in the voice.
It warms my heart to see people who have never met this family to step up and pray earnestly for them. And for people to step up and give sacrificially and from the heart. I believe huge seeds were planted here and I believe with all my heart this family will pay it foward some day. Isn't this what it is all about people? Out of love for our Lord, we reach out and touch and love others who are needing it at the moment. Last week they were in a deep hole and feeling despair. Today they are smiling, feeling some relief and seeing the light at the top.
Please keep praying for this family. They are still needing to get into some kind of a home. I can't wait to see how God provides an answer to this one!
Wow! God is so Awesome!! Love hearing of all the wonderful things He does. I know the home will come!

i've been so touched by this, that i wanted you to know i'm writing a post on my blog to let others know what you are doing and how God is working.
ReplyDeleteAll praise to Him.
He is awesome, isn't He?! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Nylse for sharing. I tried to comment on your blog, but it does not seem to take. A homeless woman told me today that just a smile and a hug would do wonders for her. . . (she got it :)
You are so right, All Praise to Him!!!
Thank You, Father. And thank you, Kristin, for this amazing update.
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin - God is so good - all the time - and as you say, many seeds have been planted. God is using you to impact people who some of society has forgotten or choose to ignore. May He strengthen you to continue this fight for their souls.

ReplyDeleteI'm so far behind and trying hard to catch up on my reading. So glad I could come and be blessed at your place. I thank God for you and the way He is using you to help others. Look at what fruit your love for Him is producing! I am so proud to be called your friend. I will, indeed, be praying for these people. God bless all the generous hearts out there who have stepped up and ministered to the Body of Christ. Whether this family believes in Him or not, God loves them too and I hope they come to see this through the actions of His people.
Love & Hugs
