Hey guys! I have video update for you and I have a thought. As I have travelled around the world I have seen many things. When I go to new squads and meet new people they always ask me to share a story with them. So I figured I will start sharing different stories with you guys 🙂 I’m not sure what you all want to here about so I’ll just post a story and you can comment on what you would like to here next. This will be separate from my updates. 

This video gives a short recap of my last week in Florida. The Lord allowed me to help a man that just got into a car accident. I was also able to connect with some old friends and bring some love and encouragement.

 

I wasn’t planning on sharing this but it’s been on my mind and heart. – I got into Quito Ecuador this morning. As we were driving to the house there was an accident. A car hit another car and hit a telephone pole. It was upside down and I couldn’t see anyone inside. There were multiple people all around trying to help. I was thinking of just jumping out of my car and seeing if there was anyone trapped inside. But I didn’t. Instead we my kept driving and my friend called the police. The police had already dispatched an ambulance to the accident. I couldn’t help but think “I should’ve gotten out and checked, what if….” This thought ran through my mind all night and I didn’t get much rest. It was an eye opening moment, that I will remember. I think there are people all around us who might be in a similar position. Maybe we see a need but then decide to simply let others handle it. Maybe we feel unable to handle certain situations. I know I regret not getting out of that car but I won’t let that stop me next time I see someone in need. Let’s be the type of people who go out of our way to help those around us. I know that’s the person I want to be. Bless you guys this week and please keep Gap A and my travel buddies Noah Roach, Philip Wilson and Matt Blair in your prayers. Love you guys

 

P.s. Don’t forget to let me know what kind of story you would like me to share this week. Just comment below.

  1. Hi Louis, I haven’t clicked the video yet but I read the short article about the car crash. I think any good human being has had a similar experience. I pray that the people in the crash were OK, sometimes an accident that looks horrible is not as bad as it looks and vice versa. The important thing is that you and your friends did do something by calling the police, and often times emergency responders do not want people in the way… That said, you should always follow your heart and go with what God is telling you. In this case you wrote about it.. That has affected me and I’m sure many others and we will all be better people for it. God bless you for the good works that all of y’all do & the example that you set. ????

  2. PS the?’s at the end of my comment appeared because I put a couple of emoji’s I guess I won’t do that next time..

  3. OK, I guess I should’ve watch the video first LOL now it all makes sense! It sounds like the Lord is watching over you and guiding your actions and heart. I’m sure the man whose hand you held and prayed with was touched by Jesus and that it aided him in his healing even before the doctors could get their hands on him.. I look forward to your next post.

  4. Hey Bro,
    It’s so nice to hear your voice. I’m learning a little more and a little more to love and breath while drowning in the love and authority of my Father and my Savior. You helped me start moving forward in this. Your in my prayers.
    Thanks for updating, I like to keep up with you.

  5. Hi my friend, so glad you are the kind of person that runs into a bad situation to bring Jesus to a lost world. You are awesome. Keep the stories coming. You always encourage me. My mission is accomplished through you. Can’t wait for you to be home with us again and hear more about your travels. Blessings!
