We will forever be grateful for the amazing way the BODY OF CHRIST responded in our time of need. For decades as an Urban Missionary I have been trying to help people through their times of crisis. In our time of need I thought I was alone, and hardly had strength even to ask for help. Through prayer, I asked the Lord for ADVOCATES, who would come along side and help in practical ways, and that would help share our needs with others. I soon found out that GOD TRULY IS ABLE TO DO ABUNDENTLY ABOVE ALL WE ASK OR THINK!!! THIS STORY WILL BE TOLD TO OUR GRANDCHILDREN AS IT HAS HAD AN AMAZING IMPACT ON OUR LIVES. IT ALSO HELPED ME UNDERSTAND GOD'S LOVE A LITTLE BETTER, BECAUSE IN MY 30 years of ministry to the poor and needy, this was a time period that I was probably accomplishing the least. Due to Post Traumatic Stress and a variety of health issues, I was toiling - trying to get things done, but moving very slowly and did not feel very productive. I had withdrawn & was leary to connect with the Body of Christ because of this. Then in this context there was this amazing outpouring of LOVE AND CONCERN. I guess I had drawn accustumed to being "loved" for the help I was bringing or for my gifts and abilities, and here I was worn out and moving slow and this amazing move of God came to bring restoration and refreshment to our lives. I plan on sometime to write out a detailed account but for now, I only have time to post a few pictures and newsletters. Please know that we deeply appreciate each of you that reached out to us in various ways. I also know that as I begin to list some of the blessings, that I will forget and skip over many acts of kindness - PLEASE remember that my memory is still quite poor (HA) |
& Please do continue to remember us in prayer, we have made great progress, but still have a ways to go. |
SOMETIME SOON, I PLAN ON UPDATING THIS PAGE IN A MORE DETAILED WAY. & again from the depths of my heart we say THANKS!
Some of the amazing miracles: * Donation of eyeglasses so I could get my licence:VELD EYE CARE * Prayer at our house by the Missions Committee of First Reformed Church & sending my family on a all expenses paid vacation * Rich Van Til, Debbie Liccar, & Marcia Tamminga planned and put together a fund raiser banquet at Crete Church & 240 people came! Wow, I had felt isolated and was greatly encouraged - also enough funds were raised to keep the ministry going. * First Reformed Church took a special offering and along with donations from Crete Church, Living Springs, & Grace raised funds to completely repair & re-do the outside of our house: New Roof (50 year shingles- no more "buckets" when it rains) New Siding and Windows!!! M&M ROOFING DID A WONDERFUL JOB! & a New Back Door (Door Store) * LANSING AUTO - repaired two cars, including one we thought was beyond repair! * The Van Drunen family paid to send me to their doctor and also paid for the prescribed medicine. * FOUR SEASONS donated a new air conditioner and furnace! Thank you Cassity family for arranging this! * Our Ministry Van's Brakes were fixed by Eddie Vos's son in law (need name of business) & they also surprised me by putting a new exhaust system in. Also Keith Geissler, GEISSLER BRAKES & AUTO REPAIR fixed our radiator & door handle * Rick Harbeck, Fred Edmond, Jeff Bryson & others helped with clean up & fix up projects * Many other people went the extra mile in making donations to RRM or other acts of kindness! Psalm 120 "In my distress, I cried unto the Lord, and HE heard me"! - THANK YOU LORD & THANK YOU BODY OF CHRIST!
