Moments of Hope: Storms without Warning
Oct 1, 2026 • Pastor Andy Searles
Aaron and Clare Walenga were holding hands on a walk in Winter Garden when lightning struck. As Aaron lay injured, unable to reach his wife, strangers rushed to help and began CPR. Both survived, and as they recovered, they spoke of the people who cared for them and the presence of Jesus that sustained them.
Their story reminds us that faith doesn’t mean we never feel afraid. When pressure comes and we cannot see what happens next, we can bring our fear to Jesus and trust Him for the next faithful step.
“Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” — Matthew 14:27
