A Family Reuntied: Ms. C

There is a lady who had been coming every week for food.  She and her boyfriend came every week.  One week they asked a person on our prayer team to pray for a air conditioner. By the next Thursday and a friend of theirs who was homeless was yelling out their window for them.  Mr. C came to the window and saw their friend had an airconditioner on his back that he had been carrying 8 blocks for them. 

After that Mr. & Ms. C just asked for our team to pray a prayer of thanks.  It wasn't until one day she and I were talking that she mentioned they had been homeless and had lost everything in a fire including her childrens phone numbers.  They didn't have a cell phone and do not know anything about computers.  She had not heard from her 3 adult children in 2 - 8 years.  I asked her why had she not asked us to pray for that.  In tears she said because I didn't want to cry.

I said lets pray right now. As I was praying for God to restore her family the word Facebook popped in my head. After I prayed I asked her for her kids first and last name and where they had been living last time she had spoken with them.

I went on Facebook that night and sent out 4 messages to possible prospects. 2 for each of her sons but no sign of the daughter.  Within 2 days the oldest son wrote to me and told me that was his mother.  And gave me a lead for his youngest brother to look on Instagram. But still no sign of the sister.

I went on Instagram and sent two more messages. Both responded back and one was the youngest son.  He was able to communicate through email. 

I wish you could have seen the look on Ms. C's face when she talked to her oldest son for the first time in 8 years. And then sent an email through her speaking and someone else writing.  She was bawling the whole time. So happy to be back in communication with them.

Since then her youngest son has written back and sent pictures of him.  It is so exciting to be able to see what couldn't be done in 2-8 years God did in less than a week.

I encourage you to pray about everything and then watch God work in your life.  Nothing is impossible with God. 

If you think about it please pray that the family would be able to find the middle daughter. They all still are looking for her trying to find out where she is at.
