How Do You Respond When Things Don’t Go as Planned?

Was your plan interrupted by something unexpected?

Christopher Franco’s goal was interrupted by an accident, but it led him to something even better.

Christopher had big dreams of working abroad to create a better future. With everything ready for his move to Saudi Arabia, he was excited and hopeful.

Just a week before his departure, he met with friends in Laguna for a farewell gathering. But in an instant, his life changed forever.

Riding his motorcycle with his friend, Christopher lost control and crashed. The impact left him unconscious. When he woke up, he felt extremely weak and confused. His friend stayed calm, but Christopher’s head injuries were serious. None of the bystanders were willing to help.

When tragedies happen, how do you respond? Do you believe that God can help you through?

Thankfully, God intervened for Christopher.

Reverb Worship artist Jack D’Preacher, drove past the accident scene along with his wife.

Jack had first-aid training, so he immediately offered to help Christopher. When his call did not connect to 911, Jack decided to personally bring Christopher to the nearest hospital.

Being in the hospital made Jack realize how our lives can be easily taken away, so as a believer of Jesus, he wanted to comfort Christopher with God’s love. He told Christopher not to worry because Jesus loves him and is taking care of him.

“Before I knew it, I was already lifting my arms as Sir Jack prayed for me. It felt like I regained my strength knowing that I can lean on someone as my Savior,” Christopher said.

The accident made him reflect on life and turn to God. He prayed, asking for strength and purpose. Each day, he felt his faith growing stronger, knowing God was with him.

During this time, Jack introduced him to his song — Muli by Reverb Worship. The lyrics spoke deeply to him, reminding him of God’s love. The song became his source of peace and hope. He realized that God is giving him a second chance to live with purpose.

Christopher’s journey is a story of faith and redemption. The experience was painful, but it became a reminder that God’s plans are always greater than our own.

Now fully recovered, He is ready for his new life abroad. His story reminds us that even in our darkest moments, God is always ready to heal, restore, and guide us toward a new beginning.

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1 NIV)
