A volunteer text me on Christmas Eve to thank me for being obedient to the
Lord to expand into Johnston County. She served on the 21st, our last day
before Christmas. Her family has experienced many difficult things. She said
that as she served others and listened to the beautiful good news of the Gospel,
she experienced a fresh understanding of the deep love of God in her own life
Millie is a long-term honored guest in Raleigh. We see her great need and our
hearts are moved for her difficult place. In June, she came to the Johnston County
facility. She was needing surgery for a brain tumor. She was also on oxygen and
the doctors said her breathing had to improve before she could have surgery.
Millie’s prayer request was also for a church family. One of the volunteers on that
visit realized that Millie lived near one of her church members. She connected
them and Millie has been attending her church since that day.
Two volunteers met before we opened to pray for each other. As they
continued to pray, God led them to pray over that day’s outreach, for our
honored guests coming in, and for the Holly Spirit God to minister through
His people to our community. Five people received Christ, one was a lady
very steeped in a cult. God loves honoring the prayers of His people!
