If you ever think God is not concerned about details then I have a story for you. God called Children's Hope from Montgomery, AL to purchase land in Jacmel, Haiti which included a tractor and backhoe. The tractor and the backhoe seemed like a bonus but neither worked. God called Martie and Charley Elgin from Waveland, MS to build the orphanage in Jacmel. The Elgins knew Kim from Atlanta that came on a mission trip to Jacmel and brought a Delta mechanic who could "fix" anything which meant he was able to repair the tractor and backhoe! Guys who belong to a ministry out of California borrowed the tractor and backhoe and rescued homes in a tent city in Jacmel that were being flooded! What an opportunity to share with these tent dwellers about the love of Jesus! Wow, isn't it great being a child of God and a member of the Body! What a privilege it is that God uses His children to help each other. As Jay Wolf says "we need Jesus and we need each other." God supplied just the right person/people at just the right time. We or should I say, Charley, had been waiting for months to get the tractor and backhoe working. We are so grateful to everyone who God used to bring Him glory in this story.
