Episode #169 is PART ONE: The Idea. Chris Dortch and Rodger Lenhardt join Matt to discuss how each of their separate desires to help swiftly became the idea now called PROJECT: Thanksgiving in Marshall. The Idea As the winds of Helene hit Marshall hard, God’s hand ignited hope where lives were scarred. A spark was born, in each of us three, To serve His will and help the weary. Rodger, Chris, and I all dreamed, Of lifting hearts where Helene had screamed. From separate paths, God made one, All focused on Marshall, His work begun. Together, with love, we stand side by side, To bring hope and healing, far and wide. Through merciless storms, let their spirits ignite, In the heart of Marshall, hope shines ever bright.
