Pastors from all over headed toward Orlando Florida for the 27th General Assembly and Convention for the International church of the Nazarene. This occurred from June 21 through July 3.
Two days went by with no problems and no Pastor Jacob. Then the third day hit. The Victory van breaks down. Something wrong with the catalytic converter. What do we do now? No van and the kids can't get to church. The family of God to the rescue.
North Royalton State Road Community lends us their red van and we have it until July 3. That's okay Pastor Jacob should be back and help us figure out what to do.
Oh no! Pastor Jacob doesn't come back until July 7 !!! He directs us to Mike Pelley, a board member for Cleveland Victory but they don't arrive home from Florida until Sat July 4, late. Off to church Mike goes on July 5 and guess what the new van sitting in his driveway won't be ready until Tuesday--no plates. What do we do for Monday?
The family of God to the rescue! Again! Bedford Church of the Nazarene sends their 17 passenger shuttle and Mr. Ries, a BedNaz member and CDL certified down to Victory to pick up the kids and returns at 12:30 pm to take them home. No air conditioning? Guess what the kids didn't care and in the words of Miss Katie, our normal van driver, " Air conditioning? We would never have gotten those kids out of the van!"
Praise the Lord for family!
