- Well, since I've been doing disaster relief since 2005
I've deployed 82 times doing different things.
And it's my ministry, it's my heart, it's what I do.
One of the more recent ones, Mayfield Kentucky
when they had the tornado up there last December,
they had cars lined up coming into the feed line
to get food, so I saw this car that had the windshield,
was shattered, cracked, sunk in, and I saw their car
was like it's been through the storm.
So as I walked around to the driver's side
the front door and the back door window,
the glass was concave, shattered, just barely hanging in.
And there was three little boys sitting in the back seat
and notice one was about six.
They had a total blank stare, just total blank.
I mean, you don't see kids the week before Christmas
looking like that.
So I asked the mom, I said, were you in the storm?
She said, yes, we lost everything.
She said, this car is all we have.
So the kids were, they weren't kind of, you know
just staring into nothing.
So I kind of mouthed to her. What about Christmas?
And she said, we had it and it's gone.
So I gave her some gift cards.
I said, use these for the kids.
I'm sorry.
I said, use these for the kids.
And she grabbed her husband's arm and said,
I told you God would send somebody.
So I still can't tell it.
She said, I told you God was send somebody,
that there is a God and he does care.
And he would send somebody and he did.
That's what our teams do.
That's what they do is try to give people hope.
