East Coast Thunder Rally
Car Show and Food Drive

Sponsored by Eastwood Company

Hundreds of custom cars and trucks, over 2000 lbs of food collected, close to a $1000 in donations and smiles from kids were priceless. The theme for this special community event, car show, food drive and open house was “Friends and families helping friends and families” and was truly shown through in everything that happened at the event. East Coast Thunder Rally, co-sponsored by the Eastwood Company and Thunder Outreach, again proving what a community can do when their focus is on blessing and positively touching lives in our community.

Custom cars and trucks were lined up to drop off their food donation as they moved into the car show field to spend the day just fellowshipping with other car and truck enthusiasts. Each vehicle stopped by the food donation tent of Thunder Outreach and was given and special personal thanks and blessing for their vehicle.

Kids where standing in awe looking up at the hug monster trucks and brightly painted custom vehicles as people walked through hundreds of vehicles and displays on the front lawn and parking lot of the Eastwood Company. TV Channel 69 News stopped by to do interviews and many friends and car clubs got to enjoy this special day that will also bless local families in need. Speaking with the employees from the Eastwood Company who hosted the event and volunteered their time you could feel how personally they were touched to be part of this special event.

What a great day to be at the 3rd annual car show and community event at Salem-Berne UMC church in Hamburg, PA.

Team Thunder got to see some old friends from last year's Car Show Blessing and meet many more. Many people told us about stories that had happened to them since last year and how God had been touching their lives. They proudly have their 2006 car show plaques with their show cars and were excited about us praying for them again.

We even had a man send a friend to find his wife who was walking around at the event and bring her back so we could pray for them as a family!

There was also a great story from another husband and wife team about working on their Camaro project car as part of helping her heal from a cancer surgery. We took time to talk and pray with them and she was in tears and thankful that we cared to stop, talk and pray with them.

God was moving through His people that day in many ways and even people from other churches who were there and saw what we were doing stopped us to ask us to come to car shows at their churches and pray for people there! We will see where God takes us next!

What a great way to spend a day blessing people's lives.
