Hey friends, I am so excited to share with you some of the good stories, some of the great blessings that have been happening through not a needy person because of your generous donations.

I want you to think for a moment about the times when you have been at your lowest, when you've had obstacles and things coming against you that seemed overwhelming and seemed like there was no way out of the situation.

In those times, when God comes through in ways you never expected and from sources that you never would have dreamed would come to your aid, that is a pivotal turning point for you.

In your faith, it helps you understand God is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all we ask or think or even imagine as a book of Ephesians says in chapter 3.

And that to me is what many of these not a needy person stories represent. They represent pivotal moments in the lives of people who have submitted their need to not needy person just prayerfully hoping that something could happen to help them in their situation.

And many times the generosity that flows out of donors to meet these needs becomes a turning point for those people. It draws them more deeply into their faith, it encourages them that God is real, that he's powerful, and that he is for them.

And that's what not a needy person is all about. I want to read to you first an email that came from someone who had put in a need request on behalf of her sister who was going through some surgeries

and was trying to get custody of her kids after a very difficult situation with her children.

And here's what it says, it says, good morning. I wanted to give you an update on my sister.

She was not able to get her surgeries in December due to having high blood pressure. However, I believe that will no longer be a factor going forward.

As you know, her divorce was finalized in October last year. And now as of last Friday, her custody case has been finalized as well in her favor.

She has joint custody of all three children and she's the primary residential parent. We are so happy that this part is finally over and that she and the children can continue to go about their day's joyful and content.

And I would like to thank you again for helping my sister when she was at her lowest.

Y'all are truly blessing people with the ministry and the nonprofit organization God bless you and your families.

Friends, I don't read these to you to pat myself or the not a needy person team on the back. I read these to you to let you know what generosity does in the hearts of people.

I want you to feel the dramatic change it is in their lives because someone from across the world who doesn't even know them cared enough to generously give and help them meet their need.

Let's listen to another.

This one is from a brother in Africa named Frank who's given his permission to use his story and Frank says I received the sum of $900 today.

Thank you for this love you have shown to me in my family.

I'm grateful to God for showing me so much mercy. He saw my pain and worries and answered my cries for help.

I've paid off part of my debt with this and I will pay more. I am grateful to you for allowing God's love and grace to flow through you.

Right now I'm relieved and if you're free and feel light and happy.
