Revolution #15

Matt & I have been helping with the 6-8th grade Sunday school class. Shelly Berringer’s suggestion to her students pulling their $ and sending it to Rapha House, an organization who saves children from human trafficking, sounded like a fantastic use of the funds. We decided to join in. After making that decision, my best friend’s brother was killed in a freak accident. One of our church members, Gail More, asked me if the family was in need. Turns out they were in that they had no savings and were just struggling to pay the funeral bill. How to choose? Rapha House happened to be the correct tax code and I was going to be able to get the $ matched by Key bank. I couldn’t pass that up. What I decided to do was continue with that original plan and donate the money given to our family ($30) to Rapha House. With the class and Key’s match this made the total contribution $150. Then because of Gail’s suggestion, I took up a collection at work for my best friend’s brother’s family to help with the funeral expenses. We had been at a loss for what to do for our co-worker because there was no formal service to send flowers to or in lieu of charity mentioned in the obituary. If it was not for the acts of FBC and the Revolution series, my friend’s family would not have $168 dollars and a touched heart of the act of strangers.
Thank you so much for the blessing.
