~Randy and Courtney, We are forever grateful for God having brought you into our lives to help us. Ms. B of Birmingham, AL.
*GOD MEETS OUR NEEDS!
~Randy is truly a man of God. I was sure of this within minutes of He and Courtney being in our home. I've never met anyone like Him before. You can just sense the presence of God when He is around you. Very kind, very gentle, so so kind! I was so pleased with all that He and Courtney did for us. I have recommended them to my friends and would recommend them to anyone. Mrs. B of Pelham, AL.
*GOD IS WITH HIS PEOPLE IN AN UNDENIABLE WAY!
~Randy and Courtney care about me. God has sent them to me and made a way to help me. Ms. L of Birmingham, AL.
*GOD PROVIDES!
~Randy and Courtney have given their life to show mercy to people like me. To me that is the very picture of who Christ is. I do not see myself as disabled, this is simply the vessel that God has given me to show His love to others. Ms. P of Birmingham, AL.
*GOD IS MERCIFUL AND CARING!
~This is the first time in 20 years since my mom has had someone reach out to her and engage her in fellowship.This is what we have been praying for and I am so thankful for what God is doing through Mr. Randy and Mrs. Courtney. Mr J of Birmingham, AL.
*GOD SETS THE LONELY IN FAMILIES!
~I was overjoyed to see hope because of dedicated friends such as Randy and his wife, diligently doing things necessary to help this family. I cant ask for any better friends than this. I thank God for Abiding Hearts. I will keep the faith and rely on positive results. Mr. D of Birmingham, AL.
*GOD IS OUR HOPE & OUR HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!
~Randy and Courtney are my friends. They are my family. I believe that God sent them to me to encourage me and to help me. Sometimes I ask God if they are even real. Its like God has sent me some angels to take care of me. They pray with me, they help me with my house, they always come and check on me, they bring me food and groceries, they read the Bible with me. I know that they care. They are some real nice folks. Sometimes I just feel like I want to cry I am so thankful to God for sending them. Mr. H of Ensley, AL.
*GOD IS SO GOOD!
~I truly do love them. Randy and Courtney always come just when I need them most. God sends them on just the right day and they always make me smile and lift my Spirits. Ms. B of Fairfield, AL.
*GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US!
~I am overjoyed by the glimmer of hope that I have because of my new dedicated friends, Randy and his wife-Courtney. They diligently do things necessary to help my family. I can not ask for any better friends than this. I thank God for them and for all of their volunteers at Abiding Hearts. It is not in our character to overlook what God has done for our family through their family. So before retiring for tonight we extend to them all our appreciation for His provisions being made manifest through the Christian faith. In closing, we thank this organization and it's affiliates for each and every effort which have been made, and is being made to help us. Amen and good night. God bless you! Mr. D of Birmingham, AL.
*GOD IS OUR GRACIOUS PROVIDER AND OUR HOPE!
~I thank God for bringing Randy and Courtney and their ministry friends to me and my wife, to help us and to serve us in our time of need. Its like a picture of that early first church we read about in Acts where everyone shared with each other whatever they had been blessed with. They took care of each other and loved each other. My whole life God has affirmed for me that He will never leave me nor forsake me and He has always been right here with me. And He is now. Even when I lost my young wife and my two little boys in the late 1950s because of a tornado. I was only 30 years old and my young wife was 25. My boys were 5 and 2 years old. We had just lost my brother in law in a horrible mine accident the year before. Horribly difficult time in my life. But then and even now at my ripe old age of 86 I cling to and I know that Romans 8:19 is true, "that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." Mr. D of Sandusky, AL.
*GOD IS OUR REFUGE, OUR STRENGTH, OUR HOPE, OUR EVER PRESENT HELP, OUR ABBA FATHER!
~I am so thankful that my neighbor attended the prayer gathering that Randy and Courtney were at so that she could put us together. After they came to my house the first time and I knew that they would be coming back, my heart was just so full of joy that I couldn't hardly stand it! I just feel so blessed. Ms. P of Irondale, AL
*GOD FILLS US WITH AN INEXPRESSIBLE JOY & THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH!
~I knew immediately when Randy and Courtney stepped into my home and we began talking that the Lord had brought family to me. He knew how desperately I needed hope and encouragement and that is what they brought me. I am so thankful and excited to have them begin visiting with me on a regular basis. Ms. G of Birmingham, AL
*GOD IS THE GOD OF HOPE AND HOPE IN HIM NEVER FAILS!
~There are certain people who the Lord calls to be there for others in their time of need and to love in a very real way. A special way that takes very specific and special people to encourage, to help and to take care of those in need. Randy and Courtney and the people that serve with them have been given this calling and they have become my family. They bless me every single week and do so much to help me. The Lord sends them on just the right day with just the right words of encouragement. I know that they will come and that they will be here for me. There are no words to describe how much they mean to me and how thankful I am that the Good Lord has brought all of them into my life. Ms. J of Fairfield, AL
*GOD SETS THE LONELY IN FAMILIES!
~I have never seen real genuine love poured out to our family the way that you have loved and served ours. You have treated us with love and dignity every single day. You are the real deal and truly beautiful and I know that God is with you and sent you to us. Ms. H of Hoover, AL
*GOD IS FAITHFUL AND PRESENT!
~I just cannot say thank you enough. You are truly an angel and we are so thankful for everything you've done for our family. You are just amazing. Ms. B of Pelham, AL
*GOD IS AMAZING AND WORKS IN US AND THROUGH US TO WILL AND TO ACT ACCORDING TO HIS GOOD PURPOSES!
~You guys have been a blessing to us in so many ways and I just want you to know how much we appreciate y'all. Mr. T of Warrior, AL
*GOD IS SO SO GOOD!
~When I see Jesus I'm going to tell him everything that you both did to help me and serve me and take care of me. You bless me. Mr. T of Indian Springs, AL
*GOD IS THE SERVANT KING!
~We are so so thankful for all that you do. You go above and beyond every time. Ms. M of Hoover, AL
*GOD IS ALL POWERFUL!
~I just don't know how we can every repay you for the outstanding love and care you gave my mom. She loved you and new that you loved her. You always went so far above and beyond. You are very very special. Mr. K of Alabaster, AL
*GOD FREELY AND ABUNDANTLY POURS OUT HIS LOVE ON US!
~Thank you is not big enough to express what you have meant to this whole family. You have loved us so well in so many ways and I just do not know what we would have done without you. You are a gift from God. Ms. P of Hoover, AL
*God IS FAITHFUL TO PROVIDE ALL THAT WE NEED & POURS OUT HIS GRACE THROUGH US!
~We could not have made it through the last 3 years without you. You have cared for each one of us, not just our sick loved one. I just cant imagine what it would have been like without you there to walk this with us. Mrs. F of Hoover, AL
*GOD IS THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT & COMPASSION AND HE USES US TO SHOW THAT TO OTHERS!
~It's been 3 years since dad passed and 2 years since mom passed. When I think of them I often think of what a blessing you guys were in our time of need. My dad truly loved y'all's visits. Bless you both and may God continue to bless your ministry. Mr. T of Hayden, AL
*GOD IS THE ONE WHO WORKS IN AND THROUGH US TO ACHIEVE HIS GOOD PURPOSES!
~I know I sound like a broken record, but I truly appreciate your gift of time. It’s priceless to me. I enjoy and grow with our Bible study. I appreciate you keeping up with my blood pressure. When God sent Abiding Hearts, He sent angels, He answered prayers. For 4 years I have struggled with physical and mental health issues. You all are willing to help me in any way needed. Thank you again for your priceless gift of time. I never thought I would be alone at 61. I have 3 surviving relatives, all out of town. So, Abiding Hearts are my christian family. I don’t think a lot of people realize how valuable this ministry is. Thank you! Ms. M of Birmingham, AL
*GOD SETS THE LONELY IN FAMILIES!
~You will never know how much I appreciate all you do for me and what an answer to prayer your friendship is. It's not just the health care you provide for me, though that has helped so much, but it is mostly the Christian friendship and spiritual support you give me. I now have a friend that I can share anything with and I know you truly understand me and that you care. Mrs. W of Jemison, AL
*GOD IS LOVE and He loves through us!
~I had my stroke 4 years ago this week. As I think back over the last 4 years I realize that before my stroke I knew everyone at church and in my little community, but in the last 4 years not one person that I knew before as come to visit me. Except, Randy and Courtney, and I didn't even know them before my stroke. But they are the only real friends that have cared enough to come and see me, and they keep coming back, and they help me in so many ways. Now that is Jesus to me, that's the real church of Christ. Ms. H of Montevallo, AL
*GOD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKEN, LOWLY, AND AFFLICTED!
~In the last 7 years that Abiding Hearts Ministry has been coming to see me and care for me, God has drawn me so close to Him and the family of God. I use to say that I have 1 child, my only son, who I only get to see a couple of times a year. But now, I say I have 4 girls-Courtney, Whitney, Leigh and Cathy. They are my daughters, they are my sweet girls and I love them. Ms. B of Fairfield, AL
*GOD SHOWS THE WORLD HIS FAMILY BY THE WAY WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER!
"Blessed be the Lord God, for He has visited and redeemed His people."
