Today we were able to go to a trailer park where there are 33 FEMA trailers for evacuee families. At first we thought we would be delivering food boxes to families who had moved in, but it ended up that – because of a rainstorm the night before – none of the families were in. Instead, the Lord worked it out that some ladies who work for the government opened all the doors of the trailers for us and we placed a box in each of them. Each food box said “Welcome to your new home” and contained some Gospel literature and a New Testament.

The ladies who opened the doors for us were very excited that these families were getting food and supplies. . . and were especially thrilled when we told them we had enough supplies to make 250 more boxes! We exchanged numbers and are now in contact whenever families move in to their trailers! How exciting to know that God uses even the weather to work out His purpose! If the families had moved in as planned, we would probably not have met these ladies who are now our best contacts.

We’re very thankful for Operation Renewed Hope for providing all the food to give out to these people. As their generous donation help us meet some physical needs, it enable us to also give these people the Gospel. Please pray for fruit for God’s kingdom.
