One morning after talking with Uncle Bro I was praying in the shower. I was thinking that I really wanted to be used by God to help people who were unsaved or had turned away from God. I thought about some of the people that we would see when we made our trips to The Bottom to find Uncle Bro. I knew that I did not have the passport to talk to them. I did not smoke or drink, never tried any type of drug, and never been to jail. There was no way they would listen to me talk about what they are going through and how to make a change. I had never been where they were trying to come from nor did I have a relationship with them. However, I was in a position to help someone who had been where they were, and was reaching back to show them the way out. I believed that God wanted me to use my resources to help someone they would listen to and to position that person to minster to them spiritually.
That morning I felt the over whelming presence of God. It was during this time in the shower that I began to cry uncontrollable, and the thought crossed my mind that ministry begins at home. The outline of a plan began to take form. Uncle Bro knew Jesus Christ. He had accepted him as his Lord and Savior and was saved. He knew the Bible better than I did. God told me to offer the Lakeview house to Uncle Bro for one year. God was making him an offer to turn his life around because it was time for him to come home. During that year I would pay the mortgage and the utilities at the house. The rest would be up to Uncle Bro. At the end of the year he would have to be in the position to handle all the costs to maintain the house. I would continue living with Aunt Dorothy. After discussing the plan with Aunt Dorothy, I immediately contacted Uncle Bro. I told him about the house, which is nowhere near The Bottom. I took him to the house to look at it and told him that God was making him an offer. He asked that I give him time to think about it. A few days later he accepted.
