The Columbus Dispatch reported that the congregation was wrapping up a sermon series called “I was Broke. Now I’m Not” and had a monthly missions emphasis on “Random Acts of Kindness”. She embraced him and said “Thank you so much”.
“We are a caring community of people excited about growing closer to God and reaching out to others. Now I’m Not.” The church draws about 500 to 600 people each week.
“Just to know that it blessed (her) in that way and helped somebody that had a true need – boy that means so much to us and we’re just so thankful that it happened for (Boyer)”, Markle told NBC 4.
