Our summer was filled with work at Stone Soup Cafe, five shifts each weekday, working in the large garden in downtown Fairbanks, as well as four shifts a week at the food bank. Yet, something was pulling at our hearts and we didn't know what. Then we were led to call home to our dear brother in Christ, Jeff. We said we feel strongly that he needs to pass a hat in his study hour class at our church and we didn't know why. We asked to please send the money to Stone Soup Cafe.
When the money arrived Hannah asked "what is this for? We used the money you gave for garden and kitchen upgrades. Where do you want this money spent"? We said "we don't know, that's for you to decide". Three days later we arrived for work to find out the boiler had went down. Abby said " we're on a shoestring budget and don't have the funds to repair now. We're able to cut corners in the kitchen but the homeless won't be able to shower. May we use the money for the repairs"? We said "we told you, that's for you to decide". A repair company was called and the boiler was repaired late that evening. And wouldn't you know the repair invoice came to nearly 1872.00, which was what our Discovery Class had sent from our church in Indiana. PRAISE THE LORD for laying this on our hearts.
