For those of you who do not know, I spent two months this summer on a life changing missions trip in the Philippines. Near the end of our trip, my team and I had the chance to immensely bless someone. One night when we were driving home being loud and crazy in the car ride back from dinner, we saw a fire in the jungle. We stopped and ran out to help, but there was nothing that could be done, we just stood there, and watched it burn down. We found out that a blind man was living there and was at his sister's house when his hut caught on fire. That night, God gave us the opportunity to work for His kingdom. We went back to the Bible College where we were staying, which happened to be almost right across the street, and we talked about what to do. We spent some time in prayer individually and then gave money as we felt necessary to help this man out. We also collected extra toiletries, clothing, and food from our bags that we could give to him. After we counted the money, we realized we had given enough to completely rebuild this man's hut and there would be extra to help buy him other things he lost in the fire.
We walked back down the road in the dark to the man's sister's house and him found sitting in the dirt crying. The pastor we were working with told him that the Bible College across the street would be helping rebuild his hut! Needless to say, but it was finished! God worked that night and allowed my team to be apart of something bigger, something that may one day cause this man to find Christ!
Here are the pictures:
These two were taken the night of the fire.
Here is the rebuild and completion.
