Tuesday evening we received a call from Jamie C.  She and her four-year-old daughter were taken out of a domestic abuse situation.  The police had referred her to churches for help.  She was calling from a motel room graciously provided by another non-profit organization.  She and her daughter hadn’t eaten since breakfast.  After calling the police to verify, which is our home church’s policy, Chelli quickly prepared a food basket, the kids gathered toys and we went off through the snow to the motel.  In no time, Chelli took Jamie’s attention from her physical need to her spiritual needs and immediately the tears began to flow.  She was on the bottom looking for help.  Eagerly, this Native American young lady reached out to the Lord for salvation.  What a blessing!  What a change from what we are used to experiencing.  It takes so long to see a German receive Christ.  It was a wonderful Christmas present for our whole family.
