This past month we had the privilege of partnering with Servants Heart Ministries, an organization that provides highly efficient, wood-burning stoves to families in need. I had very few expectations heading into this ministry, but man did it end up having an impact on me. We installed a total of 10 stoves to different families. The impact these stoves had on the families’ lives was immediate. Prior to having these stoves, the families were cooking in their homes over open flames. Not only is it dangerous for the children living in the homes, but the smoke and ash from the flames is horrible for the families’ health.
At every home where we installed a stove, we were greeted with the biggest smiles and tears of joy. These smiles and tears were a reflection of the realization that their Heavenly Father had not forgotten them and had provided for them. Many of these families had been praying for years that God would provide them with a safe means of cooking food. Not only had he provided for them, he allowed me to be a part of the experience. He allowed me to be his hands and feet. He allowed me to see that he delights in providing for his children. What an amazing Heavenly Father we have. He really does love us.
