Beach family: follow-up
In order to find and tell the story of the testimony of Larry and Melissa Beach, I had to search all around the Internet to get details.
Then I discovered more of the story right here at home. When Jenny (who lives in our downstairs apartment) read what I’d written, she came straight up to tell me a follow-up story.
Jenny is from Houston. Sagemont Church is her home church there. Sagemont learned that there was still $30,000 lacking to pay off the mortgage on the Beach’s original house–the one that was ruined by the hurricane and was razed to make way for their new house. So they passed buckets for the Beaches on a Wednesday night.
$30,000 was the amount that would complete the mortgage payment. Want to guess how much was put into those buckets?
$30,000.25.
So God used the testimony and need of the Beaches to build the faith of people who didn’t even know them personally, by providing exactly what would bless the Beaches.
(Here’s an article published today, listing of donations toward the Home Makeover for the Beaches. Sagemont Church’s gift is in the 3rd bullet near the end of the article.)
