Honor to Serve

It was such an honor to be able to go down to Moore, Oklahoma this weekend.
Upon arrival to the disaster zone, we quickly started assessing the damage and how much was needing to be done ... and listening to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
We connected with a sweet older lady and her family. They had a family member park their RV in her driveway (to live in), with mountains of debris all around. When asked about how they survived, she immediately started to give all the credit (for saving them) to God. Her family normally takes shelter in the now nonexistent hallway of their home ... whenever the sirens were activated. But God had made it possible for the family to be chosen by the State of Oklahoma to receive (a free) underground storm shelter! And it was installed only two weeks prior to the deadly tornado!
She could not stop giving praise to God for saving her family

People were very receptive to telling their story and accepting emotional support. It was amazing to watch neighbors helping each other look for personal belongings or cleaning up. Even though they had equal, if not more loss in their own home. It was such an honor and blessing to serve and love on the people of Oklahoma.

sincerely,
Coletta Matson
