God's Closet

Serving the poorest of the poor in Clay County taught me so many things. We are called to be humble and this is an experience that brings me to that level. At 6:30am (running on less than five hours sleep on a couch) we broke the dawn by running around getting coffee supplies and stirring with excitement for the people who would come today. As we clothed them in a brand new coat-we also gave them spiritual clothes. Upon leaving, they were ushered into a room and the gospel was shared with each person. Five people shared the gospel with 1, 034 people this morning. We are sure of 2 salvations and unsure of the hearts which were stirred as we planted the seeds. My job was to call numbers so that there would be no confusion and so it would be orderly. A group from Applachia Blankets came and helped us pull off this miraculous event. They wore beautiful smiles and bathed these people with the love of Christ. Their positive attitudes and cheer made this an even happier day for these people. They each got a brand new coat, a Bible, pack of socks, gloves, scarves, and bogans! God truly worked in lives and it is not over yet. We gave away every single brand new coat (down coats with fleece on the inside and a hood) and feel like there will be more people coming to see what we have on Monday. <><
