Virginia donates car to Pastor Brenda from Chauvin!

Administrative Bishop, Dr. Michael D. Baker and State Youth Director, Bishop J. Patrick Wright were instrumental in arranging for the delivery of a '98 Cadillac Deville to Pastors Brenda and Lucious Thibadeaux yesterday in Chauvin. This vehicle is the donation of Brother and Sister William Hatcher of Virginia. Brother Hatcher reported to his pastor and Dr. Baker that God spoke to him about giving the car to a pastor who lost a car in the hurricanes. In that same week, we had posted the update on the church and pastor at Chauvin. The decision was made in Virginia to provide this car to the pastor.

Upon receipt, Sister Brenda shared her testimony that 10 years before during another stormy time, God had spoken to her to give her car to a pastor in Texas who had lost his car. She shared with me that her husband questioned her and said--"are you sure God is telling you this?" But God gave her a confidence that He would provide for them and when she gave the car away, she shared with me that God spoke directly into her heart and said -- "one day I will bring this back to you!" She feels this gift from the Hatchers is the fulfillment of God's promises 10 years ago.

The automobile is in excellent shape with leather interior, 68,000 miles and new tires. The Church of God in Virginia arranged for insurance and transport to Baton Rouge through Pastor Riley from Tazwell, VA.

Pastor's Randall Baugus (Abbeville) and Kenny Flaming (Wardline) along with Reverend Kenneth Browning, were with me for the presentation and shared in the prayer time we had there in the church yard. How God touched and blessed us there!

We thank God for all that is being done by so many in the Church of God for the pastors and members of the Church of God in Louisiana!
