A family in need
I’d like to share our story. A few years ago, a man that I worked with died. He left behind a wife and two young boys. These boys loved their dad so much. He was a very big part of their lives! It has been extremely tough for them. I see the wife every now and then around town, and I know that they are struggling financially. Read more »
A sister in Christ
I met a person in Colombia, a sister in Christ, named Amanda. She only has one son and lives with an aunt of hers, she is very elderly. This person suffers from Thyroid problems and due to this she cannot move, she is very heavy, and I personally want to have a part in helping her by sending her this money. When I received this money I immediately thought about this person, Read more »
A debt forgiven
We do not have a lot money-wise, but Lord has been good to us. We’ve volunteered weekly in prison ministry for 5 years at the prison approx. 24 miles from our home. Last year my husband suddenly went into the hospital for a week & was diagnosed with congestive heart failure – we’re not insured. We have faithfully made payments on the debt owed to the hospital and the cardiologist, etc. trying to be responsible and good stewards. My husband now is on (5) regular daily medications that treat his condition & he is doing well – Praise God!. Read more »

Seeing God's love through us
We prayed and waited . God showed us a need right under our nose so to speak. I worked with a young lady, expecting her first child. She had to go on maturnity leave a week early because of complications. Her husband was unemployed at the time. We invited them over for dinner and listened and shared God’s love. After dinner we explained that God wanted to bless them through our church. Read more »
From God
In my prayer asking God to show me who to give the money to, one name immediately came to me. I thought I would still wait awhile to make sure this was the person I was to bless. The same name continued to come to mind.
The person I gave my money to was a young woman who is going through a divorce. Read more »
30 years of fighting
I started my mission this morning with a prayer I asked God to help me find the right person to give my stimulus money to. So after seeing my Dr. I walked around the VA Clinic (Veterans Administration) looking for the right person but no luck. I decided to go outside and I stood by the smoking area. One person walked out the door and looked like a likely candidate but he turned and walked the other direction. The next thing I know is that he turned around and walked right up to me and shook my hand and asked Read more »

I have a friend who started a community outreach to the people of downtown Mobile a few years ago called the Loda Project. On Thursday nights we help with washing windows and giving the homeless and others a hot meal to eat that night. Read more »
An officer and an envelope
As a Law Enforcement Officer here in Baldwin County I come in contact with people in need on a regular basis. I felt confident the moment I was handed this envelope to hold until I met its rightful owner, I would likely be on duty when this occurred. The envelope, which I never opened, has been in my patrol car for nearly three weeks; until tonight. This evening, June 12th., we responded to a juvenile complaint. Read more »
Moved with compassion
I recently attended the Mississippi Fire Chief’s conference in Hattiesburg, and felt that I just needed to have my faith stimulus envelope with me. Not long into the first day of the conference the fire chief from a small department in the Vicksburg area told us a tragic story about his assistant chief. They had just returned from a late evening call, and the assistant chief quickly made his way home. He arrived and found his two kids asleep with mom, so he placed the kids back in their room and went on to bed. A little while later the house caught on fire. Read more »
Something positive for a change
I met this man who is in his late 50’s. He just found out he has leukemia a few weeks ago. On top of this he is a severe diabetic, has had 5 heart bypasses, all of his family mother, father, and siblings all died by age 55. I have been holding onto the money just waiting for the right time to do something with it. He told me his story we prayed together and because he has so much negative in his life at this time I wanted him to have a positive. He doesn’t necessarily need the money for financial support, but he needed something good to happen. Read more »
