Revolution #19

We have been praying as to what to do with the money we received from the Revolution series and the Give Back Offering. There were several ideas coming and going and nothing really felt right until we heard about this. We received a prayer request from Michele Ralston; her best friend's brother had put a slide from an old swing on the swimming pool for the kids to enjoy. After installing the slide he tried it out, going head first he hit the bottom of the pool, snapping his neck and breaking two vertebrae. He never recovered from this freak accident and passed away shortly thereafter. Gail asked Michelle if there was a benevolent fund established, or if the family was in need of anything. Michele had inquired about needs for the family and informed them that members of her church (FBC) wanted to help. They were overwhelmed to the fact that someone they didn't even know was willing to help in their time of need. Michele had also previously been witnessing to her about FBC and how much they loved the Church and how involved we are in the community and bringing people to know Jesus Christ. We knew right then that this is where the money needed to go, and this family had no savings and is struggling to pay the funeral bill. We took this to our Life Group, with the $45 dollars we received and added money from us and Life Group we will be sending them $100 to help with funeral expense or what ever they wish.

Thank You FBC for this opportunity to express Gods Love to total strangers.
