Meet Daniel and Jason. Both serve as volunteers for our ministry. The two of them were complete strangers from very different backgrounds. Yet God brought the two of them together over furniture.
In November of 2019, Daniel arrived to serve with FFM as part of his church, Lugo Alto. Jason also arrived to serve as a part of his church, Victory Church. They met while loading their truck for the day and served together. Throughout the day, they got to know each other and became fast friends. In Jason’s words, “they just hit it off.”
Daniel, Spanish speaking with little English, asked Jason if they could start hanging out so that he could practice his English. And so they did so a few times over the next few months. These two men of God, from very different backgrounds coming together over furniture? Only God could orchestrate that.
“It’s more than furniture…furniture is just the vehicle God uses to show us all His love, grace, and mercy.”
During the pandemic last year, the two friends lost track of each other. Earlier this month, Daniel, needing furniture himself connected with me. While talked he also asked me if I knew of Jason's whereabouts. I contacted Jason and the two friends reconnected.
Through furniture, God has something for all of us. The volunteers, furniture donors, and yes those we bring furniture to. If we listen with our hearts, God is talking to each of us as we engage with one another and share what we have with one another. Perhaps it looks like furniture, but is so much more.
