Flying Back Home

Callie prayed and received Christ at our Sevierville office. We were able to give her a beautiful study bible that had been donated by incredible difference makers in our community like you! What a blessing. Callie was so hungry for Jesus.

Our team was so excited to journey alongside Callie as she was growing in Christ during the Embrace Grace bible study. She also was getting her mind and heart right to mother these sweet twins that she was pregnant with.

We were several weeks in. The church that adopted her was praying for her each week and excited to begin purchasing items for twins! We love when we do semesters of Embrace Grace. You all show up in BIG ways to love the brave moms going through that specific program.

It was a new week and Callie was ready to come in. We came into the Sevierville office ready for her and the other appointments to come in earlier this month. We go through our normal opening routines and turning on our computer for the scheduler and see a text that shatters us.

“My mom took sick and I have to fly back home. Sometimes I don’t understand the plan of the Lord, but I won’t question His doing. I write this with tears in my eyes. I will miss you all.”

As heartbroken as we all were, we knew God was up to something good. You see Callie was a teacher in her country before she came to the US. I know many of you are familiar with missionary reports that come back to the states and share how the good news of the gospel is being spread throughout remote villages. Many times by that one that was hungry for Jesus and to tell everyone about what He had done in their life.

Callie was hungry. She wanted everyone to know. That is our prayer. Yes, Callie came and received amazing free medical services and faith based support that your generous giving allows us to do. There is something even greater that your generosity does! Callie received something even greater! A relationship with Jesus Christ. That my friend is something you cannot put a dollar amount on. Priceless indeed! Thank you, Jesus!! A message that He can carry WAY beyond our imagination.

Pray that the message and hope Callie has in her heart will be used in mighty ways! Who knows when we get updates from Callie soon it will blow us away at the goodness of God. Pray for Callie and her pregnancy. Pray she continues to have that burning desire in her heart to share His good news with those she encounters. Thank you for giving. We are seeing more brave families than we ever have before! We appreciate you being obedient and locking arms with us.
