When I went to leave he said he was so sorry to have to ask me but could I help them out in any way…I gave him a $20 and he started crying. God touched us this day. Humility is of God in His presence"

We visited with an RV towing (34'). We were very fortunate that no one else was visiting at the time, because parking with a larger vehicle was tight, and if the area in front of the church would have been full there would not have been any place to turn around. However, we were glad we took the time to stop. It was a lovely experience."
