Using his chains, ropes, and four-wheel drive, over the course of two days, Ryan Sivley helped rescue about 150 people stranded by the side of the road in Austin, Texas. A brutal winter storm was battering the state. Sivley told KVUE, after thinking about what it would be like to be stuck outside in the freezing temperatures, he knew he had to do something.

Well, put yourself in their shoes. If you were sitting on the side of the road with your wife and your kids and you're freezing in the car and it's not running and you don't have anywhere to go and you don't have anyone to call, what do you do? I've seen wreckers turning people away because they won't pull them out due to liability. What? You need to stay in your car and just freeze to death? I if I was in that spot, I would beg and hope that somebody would help me. So that's what I'm doing. I do a lot of off-roading with different groups in Austin, so I had recovery straps and chains and I have two trucks that are four-wheel drive.

In addition to pulling cars to freedom, Sivley has also helped get stranded nurses to work and has also driven patients home from the hospital. His rescue service is free, and everybody he encounters is "really happy," he said.

Possible Preaching Angle:

When we have the opportunity and resources to help those in need, everyone becomes our neighbor (Luke 10:25-37).
