A Mechanical Breakdown is a Good Things? 8.14.18
A Work and Witness team of 36 people mostly from two states, Hannibal, MO and Miami, OK; formed together to work on the North Coast District. So how do you get a large group who are strangers to each other to bond, other than using games? God had a plan but not everyone was sure of the plan, especially Jon Fischer, the Work and Witness Coordinator who is always concerned about the safety of the team.
About an hour into the trip the truck that had all the luggage and that was pulling a trailer broke down, but at the perfect spot, 3 min from where they had just filled up with gas and snacks. They returned to the gas station and that is where the team started getting to know each other. They united in prayer and called upon God to come and be in their presence to provide what was needed. Within less than an hour they were back on the curvy, foggy road which caused illness among some of the team. The now united team comforted one another and there was no division among the two churches. By the time they arrived at the Santo Domingo Campground, where they would be staying, the WnW leaders could not tell who was from which church. God always has a better plan and His timing is perfect!
Despite the horrible bug bites and a few small injuries the team worked super hard on the District Center and also around the campground. Praise the Lord there were some mechanics on the team and they spent long hours trying to get the truck fixed.
The team had amazing times in the presence of God and 9 people felt a call to get involved in missions on their life during the week.
All too soon it was time to say goodbye and their trip home was like the beginning of their trip with delayed flights and trying to find new flights. The team always held to the promise that God's timing and His way are always the best plan.
