Israel Partridge is an ordinary person

who was available to God for extraordinary duty on April 27. He came upon this Huddle House in Alabama right after a tornado had wrecked it. He went inside and pulled 25 bodies from it.

God had prepared Israel for this day all his life.

What hard thing has God asked you to do?
