Mission Crestwood
God Sightings: Air Conditioner & Refrigerator
They were blessed with a new home, but in the middle of the heat of the summer, the broken air conditioning and refrigerator were becoming an issue. The family of six was making due with coolers and ice, but with 90-plus-degree days, the lack of air conditioning was becoming a problem. So, the mom felt compelled to ask a Mission Crestwood volunteer if they ever get air conditioners or refrigerators. Knowing that this was an unusual request that would be equally unusual to fill, the Mission Crestwood volunteer took the request and promised to hold onto it.
That is when God stepped in to connect the dots. Within a week of the family’s request, a phone call came in to Mission Crestwood, “Do you all take air conditioners?” the voice on the other end inquired. Eagerly, the Mission Crestwood volunteer shared, “Yes, we do!” Connection made. A family needed an air conditioner and God allowed Mission Crestwood to be part of the provision! Our God is so loving that He allows us to join Him in His work!
Then came the call from church. Could Mission Crestwood use an industrial size refrigerator? A local business was closing their doors and needed to unload it. It was only $300. Mission Crestwood could definitely use it to store the food donated to the mission, yet they had no extra money to buy it. But God is the God of details. He didn't over look this one. He covered that too! He sent a donation for $300 to pay for the refrigerator.
The story continues, because the new refrigerator at Mission Crestwood was large enough that room needed to be made for it. The current residential refrigerator would need to be “relocated.” Connecting the dots as only God can do, the residential refrigerator rested in its new home – the family who was living out of coolers with ice.
God is working and moving at Mission Crestwood!
We invite you to personally experience these God sightings and point our community toward Jesus at Mission Crestwood on Monday or Saturday mornings from 10-12 or Thursday evenings from 6-8. Just show up and see what God is doing!
