Reconnecting a Family

Having enjoyed a short, but pleasant time with family over the holidays, I was reminded how blessed I am to have family to be part of and to have in my life. There are many who spend this season adjusting to the loss of a loved one. Many of the Outdoorsmen we serve at Impact, those who live on the streets of Houston, have not seen or had contact with family for years.
This past month, the ministers who work with the homeless were blessed to help one of our regulars receive quite the Christmas present. This particular man was suffering with some medical problems and needed care, yet without any identification could not receive any help. With some persistent investigation, Doug Williams, who has worked at Impact from the beginning, made some important discoveries. After over 30 years of separation, a family was reunited with a simple phonecall. The joyous connection also led to information that opened unexpected doors of available help. Praise God for the help and happy reuinion. Pray that we keep connected to and serving our Father.
