Some stories are just so fun to share! Today's is one of them.
In early January, our good friend, Keith Brinkman, who is serving as the Programs Administrator aboard the Africa Mercy, sent us an e-mail asking us to pray for his sixteen-year-old nephew, Jeremy, who is battling cancer and would one day like to be a fire fighter.
I had blogged about this earlier, saying that my Bible study leader's son-in-law was a paid fire fighter with the City of St. Paul. He put information on his face book about Jeremy and these fire fighters began to collect fire t-shirts for him.
At Bible study on Monday, I was given a little over ten pounds of t-shirts from 21 different fire departments in Minnesota, Iowa and HAWAII!
I mailed them off to Jeremy today, but the story can only get better because . . . Lee let me know that she had gotten more t-shirts today- again from Minnesota and GEORGIA! As she said, "Who doesn't like to get packages in the mail!" To God be the glory . . .
"Dear Heavenly Father, as far as the east is from the west,
please remove Jeremy's cancer from his body . . ."
