Forward Edge has begun sending teams to Nashville, Tennessee to participate in flood relief efforts. Our first team went in July. The trip had an extraordinary impact on both the FEI team members and the community served. Not only did the team dry-wall everything that could be dry-walled, but they built relationships anywhere they could.
During the week some team members heard about an older neighbor, named Ruth, who needed some help with an electrical problem. This problem was not flood related, but the servant’s hearts of our team members recognized that their skills could be used. Throughout the time spent at Ruth’s home, conversation flowed and a relationship was built. During the chat the team members discovered that Ruth was celebrating her 80th birthday that week.
The team leapt into action, personally delivering a homemade cake, singing “Happy Birthday,” celebrating this milestone with their new friend.
It is so encouraging to hear how FEI team members are connecting on location to build relationships. This team proved what God can do when we are flexible enough to change our plans for his!
