Blessing in a season of famine

This is a different kind of podcast. For the last several months, my husband David has had it on his heart to try to help people out by paying their past due utility bills. We KNOW what it is like to struggle. For many, this has been an intense season of struggle. Honestly, storms break us or make us. We wanted to use this as an opportunity to reach in to help and bless someone who just needed to be reminded that God is near and working. We pray that you are blessed, encouraged and reminded that God is working in our waiting should you need that reminder today as well. In addition, we hope that you are encouraged to bless those around you regardless of your season of life. We were privileged to impart way more than just helping with a utility bill. We are all blessed to be a blessing and remind people that our God is a God of restoration.

Who can you impart to today?
