About CAN

I (Johnathan) remember it like it was yesterday.  

I was sitting in the house and felt the presence of God.  My Brother, David, was told to sit and pray before the Lord.  I had no idea what was coming next.  I was working raising money for children with cancer and I had a paper route at night.  I remember talking to Beth Dropski at Riverside Rehabilitation Center in Hampton.  That Saturday, David and I went to visit the nursing home.  Our lives would never be the same.  On the way back to the house, God began to speak to me about putting compassion into action.

Immediately I started receiving instructions on how to do something I had never done before.  God gave me a vision of filling bags and giving them to people in need.  "How hard is it to fill a bag and give it to someone in need?"  I heard God say to me.  We then began to pray and asked, "How will we do this?"  God said "Write the vision down and I will make it come to pass." And so we did.  Before we knew it, the picture became very clear.  Step by step we received instructions on how to do this charity.  It would be a total walk of faith.  

And so it began...
