God’s Amazing Provision
One of the exciting / challenging things that we experience serving in missions is God’s amazing provision. Since we are full time volunteers we rely fully on financial and practical gifts given to us by friends, family, churches and other organizations that believe in the work we do.
In the last week or so we have seen God provide for us in two rather unique ways…
A few friends of friends heard that we had just moved to Calgary from Australia and were setting up our house from scratch. They contacted us through our friend with offers to go through their surplus stuff and take all that we wanted! It was amazingly generous and we ended up with a van full of quality stuff to help set up our new home.
Through another friend we got invited to their church garage sale with a difference. The difference was that it was open to families in need, and everything was free! Wow! We filled the back of a pickup truck and my dad’s sedan with gear to help us out even more in setting up our house.
God is good…
We take posession of our house here in Calgary on Monday, June 1. The house is about 120 years newer than the one we left in Australia, and needs WAY less work done to it. I am looking forward to seeing how God continues to provide in His own unique way.
I love the testimonies we are accumulating of God’s goodness, faithfulness AND promises as we set up our life all over again as missionaries in a new country….I hope others feel the blessing too in knowing how much they have done to serve God’s through blessing us.
This brought tears!
That is sweet, thanks for sharing. I needed my faith to be built.
