Some of the community gathering to pray for Reed (one of Warren and Julie's five boys) who was sick



Acts 2:42 “And they devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers…44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common…46 And day by day attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number…”

This brief story exemplifies the type of community God gave us this past month. Dan and Kim have three children under the age of 5 years old. Their second child, who is 2, fell off the chair and cut her head open around 6am on morning. Dan was standing on my porch which was about 200 yards away from his apartment. When the baby fell Kim yelled for help Ryan, who was right next door came to her. He then ran to my place to get Dan ran back to his place. I called for Humberto who speaks Turkish he was out of his apartment in less than 3 minutes. He then picked up Dan, Kim and the baby and they were off to the hospital then Julie and I began to pray. All of this took place in under 15 minutes. The baby actually got to the hospital, got stitches and was home in less than two hours. What a powerful example of community living.
