Testimony from Benny

There's a man that has been in my life forever. He and daddy were life long friends. Benny called today to check in on our family.... just like he promised daddy he would. What flowed from his heart was so in line with the beat of the last post that I just had to share it with you......

The pastor of their church in Lindale, TX. recently rec'd a love offering. Why? He and his wife had adopted a little girl with some special needs. They needed to take her to Dallas for surgery and such. This pastor has only been there since 2005. Benny said he is one of the best preachers he has ever heard and is a great pastor. It is obvious how much Benny loves this man.

Benny is in charge of his church's benevolence fund. Thinking through all that the pastor, his wife and this little girl would be experiencing..... it was placed upon his heart to take up a love offering. The church members gave over $10,000.00. If you could see the size of this church and the town in which it is in....... Another man from the church owns an apartment complex or two in Dallas by the hospital where the surgery was to take place. He gave his pastor's family an apartment there for a month - free.

Benny said, "You know Camey, with all the bad stuff we hear about churches and their pastors not getting along... This is a testimony of one going right." Amen, Benny.
