Joe Pendergrass, a fellow Hope Force Reservist, is assembling another team for debris removal and recovery work this Saturday, Dec. 6th. He shared an incredible story of last week's experience helping a Muslim family:
Joe had been trying to arrange this project since the fires occurred, two weeks earlier, but the family simply couldn't believe someone would do this for them free of charge. They sought estimates to hire a clean up crew. Joe persisted until finally a lawyer and relative of the family drew up papers for him to sign, guaranteeing he and his team would not ask for money. At the bottom of the document Joe wrote "Paid by Christ."
Two backhoes and a crew of 16 descended upon the property early Saturday morning, removing what was left of the structure and the burned landscape, filling dumpsters in the driveway. By 3 pm the work was completed.
But an even more amazing transformation had taken place that day. This homeowner was overwhelmed by the love and care demonstrated toward him by Christians and received Christ as his Savior! Out of the ashes, new life!
This coming Saturday, a crew will be demonstrating this same love to the next-door neighbor. If you would like to join them, contact Signe at shillyard@rockharbor.org
