While we were engaged in preparations for various retail establishments, a woman affiliated with the CEO's church extended an employment opportunity to my wife for the position of bookkeeper at a newly established shelter. This development marked the commencement of a new chapter for our family, as the organization was also in need of a carpenter to undertake necessary repair work on the facilities.

We transitioned from collaborating with the home school group to engaging with the Chief Executive Officer, ultimately directing our efforts towards addressing homelessness within the city. Our involvement included participation in fundraising events and various other functions.

During the renovation, I commenced the removal of the second floor of the large structure. While standing on the decaying floor, approximately 20 feet above the concrete base littered with fallen trusses, I reached to untie the next truss. Unfortunately, I lost my footing and plummeted headfirst through the deteriorating plywood, landing directly on the trusses that rested on the concrete below. Had the compromised floor not given way, the fall could have been fatal. Instead, I landed on my side on a section of the floor that had broken off, cushioning my descent. Remarkably, I sustained no broken bones and was able to return to work within a week. My survival became a topic of conversation within the homeless assistance community, as many were astonished by the circumstances of my escape. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) established a connection with the municipal administration, which proposed an abandoned building for renovation to serve as the new headquarters. I volunteered to lead the redevelopment initiative. My past experiences had been profoundly transformative, as I increasingly found myself drawn to a spiritual connection with God through fervent appeals. This marked the commencement of a process through which God began to refine my reliance on personal achievements, subjecting me to trials that resulted in the loss of all I had accomplished. In this context, God was guiding me towards a deeper desire for His goodness, overshadowing my attempts to mitigate my losses.
