Pastor William Devlin, the missions pastor of Infinity Bible Church in the South Bronx, New York, had faith that the Lord would provide the means to deliver rice to Christians in Gaza.
The pastor, who has traveled to Gaza over 30 times to bring aid, worked alongside Samaritan’s Purse, the charitable Order of St. John of Jerusalem Hospitallers, and the Israel Defense Forces to deliver the 23 tons of rice.
Devlin told The Christian Post, “I knew that they could do it for the glory of God, and they did.”
Over 225 families have been sheltering within churches in Gaza since October 2023.
Devlin likened the task of delivering rice into Gaza to a scenario from “Mission Impossible.” When he contacted over 30 faith-based nonprofits and spoke to over 50 people within those organizations, each one turned him down, saying the task was impossible.
In response to objections from the nonprofit groups, Devlin recalled a Bible verse from Luke 18:27, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
He called it – “A God thing, because 35 organizations and some 50 people within them, they said the rice will never get to the intended place. Well, guess what? The rice was delivered to the two churches untouched.”
