Pizza Delivery Mishap Leads to Heartwarming Gesture
A pizza delivery incident has caught the attention of many online lately.
Pastor Neil Seiwert from Castle Rock, Colorado, placed an order with Papa John’s for his family over the weekend.
When delivery driver Susannah arrived, she quickly realized she had brought the incorrect order. “I’m sorry, I’m getting old,” she explained, noting that she had mistakenly delivered order number 57 instead of Seiwert’s number 67. “I failed. I’m sorry,” she added, visibly flustered.
Seiwert responded with warmth, asking, “Are you feeling sick for a second? We love you and Jesus loves you. Have a great night.” He seemed genuinely concerned.
Later, Seiwert and his family, including his wife and three young daughters, approached Susannah, placed their hands on her shoulders, and prayed together. “As she was explaining herself, I really felt God’s love for her and wanted to do whatever I could to ease her pressure and anxiety,” Seiwert shared.
He emphasized the importance of compassion for strangers, believing it can be an opportunity to share love. “I didn’t want her to just feel the support from her family; I wanted her to experience God’s love too,” he remarked.
The heartfelt moment was recorded on a Ring doorbell camera and subsequently shared on social media, where it garnered over 500,000 likes and 5 million views on Instagram.
During the prayer, Seiwert expressed gratitude, saying, “Jesus, we thank you for Susannah, and we thank you, Lord, that we crossed paths tonight.” He prayed for her well-being and healing, both physically and financially. “Lord, I just pray that you bless her,” he added sincerely.
Driven by the desire to help, the Seiwert family later found Susannah and sought her permission to launch a GoFundMe campaign for her needs. Seiwert noted that the response was overwhelmingly positive, quickly reaching their initial goal of raising $25,000 for delivery drivers.
He was pleasantly surprised by the reaction from the community, with many commenting that the story moved them to tears. “There are so many people who just need some love,” he reflected.
In closing, Seiwert expressed his belief in pointing to Jesus in difficult times. “We know the situation is too big for God, but in those small moments, there’s a chance to reach a broken world,” he said.
As for the Seiwartzes, they are planning to move to Wichita, Kansas, later this year to start a church called Harvest House.
