Hi Everyone. Boy did we have a day yesterday. We had two Tornado's touch down here and one was coming our way. Our team mates Monty and Susan were at the new warehouse bout 10 minutes away from us and saw the first Tornado touch down and then go up. If you click on the picture it will get bigger and you can see the funnel right behind the truck. They called me to tell me that it looked like it was headed our way. I tried looking out all sides of our building but could only see dark clouds and lighting. Also I saw the rolling of the clouds like I did the other day. I finally went behind our building up the fire escape and I got a good look at it. I couldn't believe what I saw. I had never seen a Tornado before and as I was seeing it I realized I did not want to see it that close. One of the teenage volunteers stayed behind with me after lunch because her arm was hurting and all I kept thinking is what should I do. As I stood on the fire escape and saw it moving toward us all I could do was pray. I closed my eyes and said "Lord I need you to take this Tornado away because I do not know what to do except pray so please help us" I prayed a little more then opened my eyes, it kept moving toward us but I wasn't scared anymore. There was a peace inside me. Then within minutes it moved away, the funnel went back up and the clouds dispersed. It was a sight to see. It is something I will never forget and also remember that with God I will never be afraid of anything because he is my shield.
We had a good dinner then that evening we had devotions. Every Thursday evening we have a time where we get together with the teams and other people from the neighborhood and people we have rebuild homes for come and join in. People give testimonies of there day and what God has done for them. The pictures show how everyone was praising God but what you don't see it the presence of God that was in the building. We could actually feel the angels there with us. There were so many testimonies and singing and praise that there was not a person in the place that did not feel the presence of the Lord. It went on till 11:oo p.m. We started at 8:00 p.m. It never ceases to amaze me how the Lord moves on people's heart and what he does in their lives. It is hard to explain but if you were here you would know what I mean. I hope everyone that is reading this and has not been here has the opportunity to come and experience it.
Well I have to go now but remember we love you and until next time.. Lots of Love coming your way from ... Allen and Dovie
