The Open Door, still in the same location, serving a free meal Monday
through Friday, along with a thrift store that helps to fund it.
The next day, I called two help centers and left messages, hoping to talk with them about
delivering soups, etc thru their facilities, but neither called me back. I later realized that the
Lord wanted a soup kitchen in Haywood County and didn’t need any snarl-ups from us humans!!
On Thursday night (24 hours after talking with Rob) Connie White called me. She had been in
Rob’s Disciple class where they talked about needs in the county. Connie was working in a
capacity to know about these needs. Rob suggested she call me and as the saying goes”THE REST
IS HISTORY”
I won’t say it was all clear sailing from there but things moved along in a hurry. I believe the
Lord went before us working out every detail There were many, many hours of planning and
working out details but it all came together very quickly and very RIGHT!!
I sure am thankful that Connie couldn’t cook. If she could have made soup, the Lord might not
have needed me and I would have missed out on the greatest spiritual experience, and blessing,
of my life. I thank God for that nearly every day of my life. Also for Connie and all the hundreds
of volunteers that have made this ministry a beautiful reality. PRAISE HIS NAME!!!!!!!!
