One Small Group Shares A Need....Another Group Influences An Entire Office

This is a story that I've been meaning to share with you all.

Chris & Aundrea Berkey's group shared a need with me in December about a family with five kids, whose home was lost in a fire. Upon communicating that need, Pete & Susan Cobb along with their small group decided to get involved. They wanted to do everything possible to assure this family would have a wonderful Christmas despite their recent tragedy.

Dr. Pete distributed a flyer hospital-wide. In addition to the gifts brought in by his office staff, there were other physician offices that sent money to help. "The staff at Stone Crest Family Practice did everything" said Susan, "I should have counted the number of gifts but it loaded the back of my mini-van (that has a very deep well) to the ceiling. This family had been living with a relative. When I delivered the gifts I saw the tiny room the entire family shared. The wide-eyes of their children when they saw the gifts was such a blessing. The office manager at Pete's practice also commented on the positive impact the project had on their employees. Everyone loved working together to support this family and felt a strong sense of community by doing so. It was great and I know they will be looking to do something similar next year."

WOW....isn't it amazing how many lives were touched & how God was at work via both of these small groups. Thank you Berkey group for sharing, thank you Cobb group for facilitating & thank you Stone Crest Family Practice for being so generous & loving on this family during such a tragic time in their lives. This is true community….working together to bring life-change to those who are in need around us.
