| This past Wednesday evening, during the regular mid-week service at The Country Church in Marion, Texas, one of our relief team members, David Guion, shared needs for Hill Country flood response from an email update sent out the day before on behalf of Somebody Cares.
One of the needs mentioned was for “generators (3500+ watts and above) for families waiting for electricity to be restored.” Gary Cathey was sitting in the congregation that night. When he heard that specific request, he immediately remembered he had that very type of generator in his garage—with only a few hours of use on it.
On Friday, Gary brought the generator to the church. With Jay Rodger’s help, he loaded it into David’s truck so David could deliver it to Kerr County this weekend. That generator is now powering several dehumidifiers in a home in Ingram, Texas—helping to reduce humidity and to stop mold growth.
“Sometimes, people who want to help in a disaster feel overwhelmed, thinking, ‘The needs are so great—what can one person do?'” David said. “But the Lord doesn’t waste anything!”
He continued: “What are the odds that a man from my church would already have exactly what was needed—even before Somebody Cares sent out their email update? As my missionary friend, the late Walker Moore, taught me to say: ‘When Jesus enters the picture, the odds don’t matter. They’re always 100 percent!’”
