Good News Story: God's Delivery

 
 

And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
- Luke 2:10-11

Arkansas

On March 31, 2023, a tornado swept through Little Rock, AR, leaving destruction in its wake. Because of connections through the local church, ARDF was able to send funding for relief efforts and to help survivors. One woman, Margaret, reached out to us after receiving support, sharing her powerful testimony of how God transforms chaos into compassion through the local church. 

I don’t know your exact name, but in a way, I do know you. I know you through your helping action that shed light on who our Father is like . . . It turned this second disaster in the past two years in my life into something else; something from God’s voice, divinely loving and gentle. It’s not flood, not storm, not hail anymore. The transformation comes from God’s delivery, and God’s delivery is being carried out by the hands and hearts of you all. 

We are inspired by Margaret’s Good News of God’s transforming power through difficult circumstances!
