The God Who Responds

One of our crews was working in the lower ninth ward putting a roof on Mt. Carmel Church in Louisiana.  By Wednesday, they were a little frustrated that they were not having much interaction with people.  There are not many people living in that section of the city.  So they prayed!  "Lord, send us people to share your love with."

Yesterday, their jobsite was flooded with people.  People who wanted to talk, people who wanted to come in and see the church, people who wanted to donate some money to the church for their rebuilding costs, people who wanted to get snowballs (shaved ice) for the team!  Once again God answered above and beyond our expectations. –John Horst, EFCA TouchGlobal Crisis Response

Matthew 7:7-11 says, "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.  Fro everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened.  Or what man is there among you, when his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone?  Or if he shall ask for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?  If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!"

He is good; He is faithful; He is God!
