Throughout the project, one of the homeowners kept telling me he would let me drive his prized possession: a 1979 Corvette Stingray. After realizing this was the way he wanted to bless me for what I was doing for him there in Joplin at his home, I honored his request. This car was incredible to drive. Never have I felt the kind of muscle and horsepower before in driving any car. The man was like a kid in a candy store watching my eyes as I enjoyed the cruize in the neighborhood in his wonderful car. God allowed me to bless this man in the way he could bless me for my service and love in Christ to him. Stay obedient, even if you think you aren't there to accept someone's thanks or gifts for your service.
It was incredbly a blessing to be able to go and serve the people of Joplin with our youth at the end of July this summer. We were able to bring Christ to them and help them and in response, they blessed us. It was amazing. This picture was taken at the end of our trip as we were leaving Joplin. Amazing how God left just the Cross standing even after all of the devastation.
