Listen: Ben McEachen chats with Daphne from Mount Druitt about the unexpected gifts God has given her

Have you lived through a lot of tough stuff, like medical issues or family problems, and are unsure how you’re going to get through it?

Daphne has. The Mount Druitt mum has had long-standing health battles. She has also known the enduring pain of relationships which are not as close or uplifting as they should be.

Recovering from double foot surgery, Daphne spoke with Hope Afternoons about something she is still trying to process.

Before her expensive operation, she was unsure how she would pay the $11,000 bill. Then, her friends from church offered to cover the cost. In full.

They told her that God had put it on their heart to help out.

Such incredible generosity is something Daphne “still can’t fathom”. But this is not the first time Daphne has received support from God, through other people.

This is not the first time Daphne has received support from God, through other people.

She shared some incredible wisdom she received years ago. A life-changing perspective that shows the ways God might be helping us, too. Right now – through those he has placed in our lives, instead of those we think God should be working through.
