New Convert and testimony of God's miraculous provision

The Lord has been meeting with us faithfully in our services. This past Thursday night a lady came to Bible study and gave her heart to Christ!

Sunday morning the Lord met with us in a special way. Lissette, pictured with her family on a recent post (sister-in-law to pastor Euddy) gave a tremendous testimony of how the Lord helped her this past week.

She had to schedule a check up for her little girl. She scheduled it so that it would be after her husband got paid. Something happened and he did not get paid on time. When she arrived at the doctor's office, she only had 90 pesos. The checkup cost 200 pesos and she needed 40 to get home. Evidently they let her pay 50 pesos and she can pay the rest later.

After leaving the clinic and on her way to a public transportation stop, she was telling her son, Davy, to help mommy pray because they only had 40 pesos to get home and that was it. They had run out of gas for the stove and she didn't have anyway to cook and they were also out of food. She didn't know how she was going to feed her family.

A lady pulled over in a truck and asked Lissette where she was going. Lissette told her and she said, "I can take you part way. Get in." Lissette got in and was thanking the lady telling her she didn't have enough money to get home, but that this ride would be big help.

As Lissette got out of the vehicle, the lady handed her 120 pesos. Tears came to Lissette's eyes and the lady said, "Don't cry. It's nothing."

Lissette happily walked to the next public transportation stop. She was waiting for the next car or bus. A little bit later, the lady in the truck came running after Lissette, saying, "I was on my way to the bank and something told me that the 120 pesos wasn't enough and that I should give you more. Here take this." The lady handed Lissette 1000 pesos! She told Lissette to go buy her and the kids a "pica pollo" (a Dominican "fast food" from a stand usually consisting of fried chicken and rice or plantains). This gave her enough money to feed her and the children for lunch, plus buy gas for the stove and enough food till her husband got paid. Isn't God awesome?!!
