We

We met Helen Graham at the River Outreach Center cookout, held at the Ruthville gym complex in March. Promise Land Pastures was teaming up with the ROC crew as part of the volunteer prayer team. We introduced ourselves to Mrs. Helen and spent time talking with her about her life and needs. We learned that she had been widowed since 2016, was a cancer survivor, and was a fervent prayer warrior. We prayed together for one another, and we asked if there was anything specific we could pray with her about. She mentioned that she had been praying for help with her leaking roof.

We felt the Spirit of the Lord stirring us to explore how Promise Land Pastures could assist. God truly answered Miss Helen’s prayers—and ours—as we sought to serve her. Many individuals and churches in the county stepped up to donate and volunteer. All materials were covered, and a team from four different churches came together over Easter weekend. Not only did they completely replace Mrs. Helen’s roof, but they also cleaned up her entire yard. Special thanks to Bubba Smalley and the First Simple Church rapid response team. Thank you to everyone who gave and volunteered! Mrs. Helen was greatly blessed, the team was united in purpose, and God was glorified in the community!
