I just want to PRAISE JESUS for His Marvelous Grace and Mercy. This year of 2010 has been one of our most challenging and yet most blessed of our 21 years of marriage. God has been so good to us. No matter what we have faced, even when I've been much discouraged at the circumstances around us; God has always made us stronger and brought us through all of our trials. As we grow closer in our walk with Jesus, we are more encouraged to continue on in the calling He has put in my heart. God has shown His faithfulness time after time in ways that I could never have dreamed.
I am most thankful for Jesus loving me and saving me from a sinner's hell. I thank Him for bringing me and Pat together. And again today for protecting Pat from harm when a dear struck the front of her car. It just came speeding out of nowhere. Fortunately there is only minor damage to her car and Pat was not hurt. Praise Jesus.
All year long I've been seeing people much less fortunate than myself. I hope you'll watch the videos of some of these people. Please continue to pray for us that we can continue to grow in God's will and serve more of the forgotten elderly and home-bound. If we ask God, He'll show us that they are all around us.
May you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
In Christ's love,
Bro. Rondel Story

Ministry Update Oct. 2010
God has been so good to us ; most especially this year. He has seen us through many challenges and blessed us beyond measure. What a joy it is to serve Jesus. We're honored that he chose us to help those who are in great need of getting to the Doctor, but are so often forgotten.
Jesus said He would never leave us nor forsake us.
Many blessings to you all.
Love in Christ,
Bro. Rondel

Happy Thanksgiving! Praise Jesus for His marvelous grace. We all have so much to be thankful for. I am extra thankful to be back on 3rd shift again. For over 2 years I've been working 2nd shift while our grandchildren have been growing up without seeing much of Paw. The Lord has blessed me indeed by moving me back to a similar job in the dept. where I started over 3 years ago. This will also allow me again to share our Vision in other churches on Sunday and Wednesday nights. Please pray that I will soon develop a consistent sleeping routine that is critical to my well being as a Bi-Polar patient. Thank you also for remembering Pat in the many sacrifices she has made for my service to the ministry. Both of us have many health issues, but praise Jesus, one day we'll have a new body! My long-range goal is to eventually return to full-time Ministry Service. God has given me a great passion for this ministry and my heart longs to be with the people in need.
We've seen many prayers answered this year and we've been touched with so many blessings from those we serve. There are hundreds of stories I could share from over the years. Today I'd like to tell you about Mrs. Willie Mae Strickland in West Point, Ga.
I first met her in the fall of 2008 as I picked her up in a wheel-chair going to the wound clinic in Newnan, Ga. Both her legs had been amputated, but the left leg was not healing. After waiting there about 3 hours, the staff told me they were calling for an ambulance to admit her to the Hospital next door. I told them I brought her this far, that I could also take her next door. As I left her at the admissions desk, she asked me to call her family to let them know.
I left a message on her daughter's voice mail. In just a few minutes she called me back. As we were talking she said, “do you know who this is?”. To my pleasant surprise, I was talking to a co-worker from the West Point plant (Twanda Winston). This was the beginning of a wonderful friendship with Willie Mae.
Many times over this past year we've transported Willie Mae to Doctor and Hospital trips in LaGrange and Newnan concerning this bad leg. Finally it had to be amputated again. One night at work, Twanda hugged my neck saying, “thank you for helping my Momma. This is the only way I can repay you.” I told her that hug meant so much to me. It was an honor for me to be there for her Mom. I had no idea what Twanda was dealing with. As her mother was recovering from the latest surgery and doing very well, Twanda went into the Hospital again in Opelika, Al. After a few short weeks, she lost her battle with cancer. She came home from the Hospital on a Tuesday and went home with Jesus on the following Sunday morning Oct. 4, 2009.
I had the great honor of transporting Willie Mae to Twanda's funeral. What a great testimony was proclaimed about the life of her sweet, young, loving daughter Twanda Winston. Please pray for Twanda's 3 daughters also. Twanda poured her life into her children.
Willie Mae is very special to me. She's still doing very well with her leg. We're all thankful that Twanda didn't have to suffer a long long time. I can only imagine the pain of losing a child and then add that to the loneliness of being home-bound. I am blessed whenever I get to visit Willie Mae.
God has been so good to us all. I can't praise Him enough. What are you thankful for today?
Love in Christ,
