Right Place at the Right Time

I received an amazing phone call from a Salvation Army supporter today. This couple consistently sends us encouraging notes along with their donations every time they donate, and in early September I wrote them a card to thank them for all of the encouragement they have given us and invited them to tour a facility. She called me this morning and we were able to talk for about 45 minutes. She told me that yesterday she and her husband were at Northwestern Bookstore and there was a woman in front of them in line who was flustered because she was running late and was going to miss her bus. They ended up giving this woman a ride, and when they got in the car she told them that she was on her way to The Salvation Army Harbor Light Shelter in Minneapolis, where she lives. On the car ride, this woman told them all about how both of her parents were drug-addicted and died young, how she was homeless and how The Salvation Army saved her life. She told them that there is no way that she could have gotten her life back on track without the help of The Salvation Army. This couple was overwhelmed by the young woman's testimony and how dedicated she is to the Lord now. The donor said that she just had to call me and be a witness as to how we are working in people's lives. She told me that they pray for us everyday, and that they can't imagine what this world would be like without us. What a blessing!
