For nearly a year now, I’ve had the pleasure of working in concert with Christ for Humanity to minister to the residents at LaFortune Tower. Each month, I have between 10 - 16 residents waiting to hear an encouraging word from scripture. I faithfully bring the “Word” and end with a strong invitation to receive Jesus.
Last month, I had a young lady in attendance that listened with great interest and approached me after the message. She said, “Pastor, you remember what you said about God doesn’t make accidents?” I said yes. She went on, “Well I should just right those words on a piece of paper and throw them in the TRASH!” I was a bit confused at this point so I waited for her to continue. She said, “Pastor, you didn’t know, but I was given up for adoption when I was 3 years old. I grew up moving from one foster home to another. I have been told that nobody wanted me, no one planned for me, and that I was just an accident!” I was heartbroken for her! She continued, “You said was that God DID make me on purpose and that I am NOT an accident! I should write the words, “I am an accident” on a piece of paper and just throw them away! I was so happy to have provided hope to one of these dear residents!
The card above, I just received yesterday, is another example of how the Lord is moving in the hearts of these precious people. Thank you for inviting me into this partnership of service to our community. God is using us to bring a message of hope to people that need to hear it!
