Well, what an interesting few weeks. We had a visitor from our friend Janice who came from Florida and spent two weeks with a different ministry and then came to minister with us for a week. we went to over 11 villages, passed out soap and salt and prayed and ministered. Janice taught in three churches and did a great job explaining about faith in Jesus. We even did baptisms with over 40 people being baptized! it was a whirlwind of a week for sure, loved it so much!
Since then, the car needed repairs of $500, the power has been out for 3 days with still no end in sight, so the beef and chicken that was frozen now has to be cooked – it was enough for 3 months – about $150. The solar isn’t working properly so at night we don’t have any lights, the repair guy is coming tomorrow – another $100, construction on the bible school is continuing but the cost is about $700 more than quoted..none of this were planned events. But the Lord knows that money usually stresses me out so here is my opportunity not to be moved by these situations. surprisingly, I am steady, even though for sure I don’t have most of the money needed. I am short by $178 on the car repair, will really miss that meat and chicken over the next three months, and still have to have the money to renew my passport next month.
Here is the thing, lately the Lord has had me in 1 Thes. 5 and the Word of God is really causing me to be steady. I know that because its the life of Jesus, and God’s ministry everything will be taken care of because He is God and I am his child. I am a child of the day Jesus is coming back, so why do I need to worry about money and provision? We don’t need to worry about these earthy things, God will provide everything for His Glory.
Currently we have three live-in students for Bible school and these young men are really growing, I am so excited to see what God is doing in their lives! God gets all the glory in all things!!!
