How God Filled His Years of Emptiness

Shannon McNeal grew up abandoned by his single parent mother and looked to impress his older brothers who had turned to sex, drugs, and violence as a means of survival. Having joined them for over 20 years in this lifestyle, Shannon experienced a night and day turnaround of self when he met a woman who had a loving heart. Realizing this was what he always longed for, he asked God for help and received more than he ever expected.

Will this be the storm that blows her house away?

Esther is a single mom. She lives with her two children near the Amazon rainforest in Peru. Every year when the rainy season starts, her greatest fear is that her house will not survive the high winds. Esther describes the vulnerable home saying, “We suffer a lot in this little shack. When it rains the house gets flooded and the roof lifts up.” 

Every time a storm approaches, Esther’s older daughter, Lexy, tries to plug any new holes that have appeared. Esther shares, “I don't have enough money to fix the house. The wood is rotting, and my children get sick from exposure. I suffer a lot when my little one suffers. When the rain and winds hit, my 7-year-old screams and says, ‘Mom, I don't want to die.’” 

Esther supports her family by weaving and making flour. Unfortunately, she can only make flour twice a month because she has to borrow a neighbor’s oven to dry it. 

When Operation Blessing learned about the situation, we built the family a new house with sturdy walls and strong roof. We added a bathroom, kitchen, bedroom along with furniture and a solar panel for power. Esther enthusiastically says, “I am so happy with our new house. My kids now feel comfortable and safe.”  

And thanks to you, we also were able to build Esther a new brick oven so she can make and sell more flour, of which Esther gratefully shares, “All of this is a wonderful blessing for me. Thank you!”

You Comforted Little Girl after Disaster

Category 5 Hurricane Otis was a nightmare that ripped through communities in Acapulco, Mexico. Eight-year-old Kenia remembers what happened to her that night. She recalls, “We were wet. I thought the wind was going to blow us away. It pushed and pulled us, and we could not stand up. We had nothing to eat, everything was destroyed."

Kenia’s mom, Pilar, said, “We barely escaped with our lives. The minute we left our house, it collapsed! We went to my neighbor’s house to take refuge. I thank God for allowing us to survive.” 

During the crisis, Operation Blessing’s disaster relief team was on hand. They worked with Pastor, Pamela Morales, to provide emergency food, clean water, and milk. “For them, even powered milk is a blessing because they can drink it with some bread,” shares Pastor Morales.

To help kids with the emotional trauma caused by the hurricane, Operation Blessing showed episodes of CBN’s Superbook in nine different communities, including Kenia’s. She watched the story of Daniel and learned how he trusted God during scary situations. She prayed, “Lord, I ask you to take care of me and my family, to take care of all of us.” After watching the Daniel episode, Kenia also prayed, “Lord, I ask You to come into my heart.”

Thanks to CBN partners, two hundred children prayed to become Christians after watching Superbook episodes, just like Kenia. “Thank you! Because you have supported us, we can move forward,” shares Kenia.
