No Mistake

One of Cornerstone's couples is serving for a year in New Orleans with TouchGlobal. Steve sent us an update recently and in it he included the following story.

"I heard a story from a team member who had been here on a work trip earlier this spring. The gentleman and his team arrived in Louisiana and were assigned to gut a home owned by the Jones family in the city. The work team arrived at the site and worked hard all day.

The homeowners were extremely grateful and the team was able to interact with and encourage them. At the end of the work day the team bid the Jones's farewell. As they were saying goodbye the homeowners, looking somewhat puzzled, explained that they were not the Jones family, they lived next door. The team had gutted the wrong home!

As it turned out this was not a mistake. The homeowners explained that they had lost hope since the hurricane and had the work team not shown up to their home that day they would have committed suicide together.

This story really stuck with me, reminding me that there are no mistakes in working for Christ. If He wants us somewhere we'll end up there whether we plan on it or not. The work here continues to be greatly needed and appreciated. Pray that more teams will show up, or
better yet come on down yourselves!"
