Personal Testimony on February 27, 2022

My Name is Lindsey. I am 42 and a hard worker, but I find myself a mother in an unexpected and undesired divorce. As a single parent, I am currently struggling financially. When my hot water heater went out, I didn't know what to do. Some people describe me as a determined and capable "fix it gal" out of necessity. However, a gas heater is not something I have the know how to change. Due to health issues, I can not lift heavy items. Despite this, I still was trying to figure out how to afford to replace the heater and how to do some work myself.

I called Open Vessels, because it appeared there was not a shut-off valve on the unit itself. I needed help trying to find it. I found a brochure for Open Vessels at Ground 4 Compassion during a meeting. Open Vessels came to the rescue and said, "We are going to buy you a heater and install it." I was blown away. They didn't know that I literally had less than $2 in my bank account.

The Lord has provided all my needs after an abusive marriage, when I was terrified at how I was going to provide for my daughter. The men of Open Vessels are the hands and feet of Christ, and I thank them and every donor who makes their work possible.
