A Kentucky family that lost their home last year in a flood was moved to tears after they were gifted with a new home built by over 150 volunteers from seven states in only 11 days, thanks to a Christian charity’s efforts.

After she saw her new home, Jamie Smith, the matriarch of the Letcher County family that lost their home, told WYMT, “In what time that they’ve been here that they could do something this beautiful, it’s remarkable.” The funding and volunteers for the new Smith family home came from the efforts of the nonprofit crisis response organization God’s Pit Crew.

According to their website, the organization “aims to become one of the most effective disaster relief organizations in America so that we can continue responding as God leads to hurting people in times of crisis, whether it be across the street or around the world.” Randy Johnson, who founded God’s Pit Crew with his wife Terri in 1999, told WCHS, “We just felt compelled to try and do something to help them get their lives back together. So after all of our interview processes, we chose them, and we’re thankful we were able to raise the funds.”

Their website says that God’s Pit Crew is also helping with the disaster in Winona, Mississippi, after 26 people died in a tornado that caused widespread damage. They’re also responding to emergencies in Adamsville, Tennessee and Little Rock, Arkansas, where residents suffered tornado damage. Shortly before giving them the new keys to their home, Randy Johnson told the Smith Family, “We’ve built a lot of houses over the years, and they’re all special, but I can’t tell you how many volunteers and people have said there’s something different about this one. And we don’t know what it is, but it’s special, and I say it’s because of you all.”

“It’s more than we could have ever dreamed of, and we are forever grateful to God’s Pit Crew because from the beginning to the end of this process, they have been absolutely wonderful,” Smith said of her new home. She said her husband is an instrument maker, and they saved some from the flood, and she was touched by how the builders included the preserved instruments in their new home’s design.

“He makes instruments, and these instruments he had made, we saved them from our house. They didn’t get in the water, and we were able to save them, so that meant a whole lot. Just the little touches that they’ve put on the house. I mean, you know, they just think of everything,” she said.

“When you’ve lost everything, you wonder where to go from here. I could have never dreamed we would be here today,” she added. “God is good. God is amazing, and we are so blessed.” As Smith stated, losing all your possessions can be devastating, and you wonder what will come next, but God always has a plan in place. He’ll never leave or forsake you, and He’ll always ensure you have everything you need.
