Some More Stories From the Lower Room

Here are a few more stories Margie shared with me about how God is working through her and The Lower Room. These events are from this fall 2014.

  • A Mom came for winter clothes for her 2 children. She said she and her husband were staying with her parents and could find no place to live. I was able to pray with her for that, plus their other needs.
  • A woman came for her 3 grandkids (her daughter had left her 3 grandkids with her... refusing all care for them). This grandmother goes to Autumn Ridge and is now going to be taking the grandkids there with her as well. I am so glad for these opportunities to pray with, talk with, and encourage Christians who come to The Lower Room.
  • A young woman attending the Community College in the school of Social Work came to the Lower Room. She is Mormon, has 2 children, and calls often to help me with getting donations. She stays longer to talk. We've been able to pray twice and she is becoming a friend. I invited her to the single mom's dinner [at Rochester Assembly of God] and she accepted. I treat her with respect for her Mormon church attendance and pray for her eyes to be open to the truth.
  • I was able to have a long conversation with a mom, who was struggling with her daughter, age 2. This little girl is a special needs child. Also, we talked about the mom's salvation and how she could get into a MOPS group. I invited her to Assembly Church for this. She was quite open and said she'd like to come.
  • A grandma brought a single mom to The Lower Room. This mom had 2 children who had no clothes, as she had a fire which destroyed her home and clothes.
  • A single mom single mom came to the door in tears... said she had a tumor and wanted prayer. She had no winter coat. I prayed with her after a long conversation, and found her a coat. She gave her life to JESUS.
"JESUS is the Savior... He SAVES people. I am a "seed planter".... I plant seeds and let them see JESUS. ~Margie

I just wanted to share how The Lower Room continues t show the love of Jesus. Margie is planting seeds in the lives of so many. She truly shows the love of Jesus.
