Tornadoes that recently hit Kentucky destroyed homes, buildings, and businesses and even took many lives. But amid the chaos, testimonies and miracles are also making headlines. One particular story is Tommy Jackson’s Bible that survived the storm.
Tornadoes Ravaged Kentucky
Tommy Jackson lost everything when the twisters ravaged Mayfield, Kentucky. But despite his loss, he held on to his faith at this very challenging time.
Apparently, the 65-year-old saw how the twister hit and destroyed his home. He was inside his home when the tornado ripped his house apart. According to the report, he also lost his identification cards, money, and credit cards in the storm. On top of that, the tornadoes also brought down the bank where he gets his money. Hence, he doesn’t have access to any necessities.
Hopeful For Better Days Ahead
However, Tommy remained hopeful. Moreover, he found something precious after the storm—their family’s Bible. Seeing that treasure assured the 65-year-old of God’s sovereignty.

“The presence of the Lord was watching over me,” Tommy told the Associated Press.
He found the Bible still intact even after five tornadoes hit Mayfield. It reminded Tommy that God was with him. But what’s more surprising was what he found inside the Bible. He found his birth certificate, one very important document he could use to iron things out to get back on his feet in the coming days.
Traumatized
Tommy currently stays at his brother’s house for shelter. He is safe and sound, but unfortunately, the horrifying experience haunted him. According to his brother, he was shouting while sleeping. The incident traumatized him. But despite it, he says, I trust in the Lord.”
Let us continue praying for the tornado victims that hit the eight states. Let’s also help them in any way we can.
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” -Psalm 46:1
