God continues to hook it up in ways and through people that I would have never imagined. While we are still far off from the money we need for Italy, He is slowly and surely bringing it in. I have been praying and thinking about why this has been so hard for us, and what keeps coming up is that He is testing our faith. Today, I think I have finally made the breakthrough! (‘Bout time, eh?) I also think maybe He is preparing us for the time we will one day spend fund raising to go on mission trips to Africa. Our heart is so planted there, and I know that God will use our experience now to give us faith and fruit then.
Please don’t forget about the wonderful HPC lady selling Mary Kay and giving us all the profits for the trip. Check it out here and here. We will also be having a garage sale August 4 to raise money, so be in prayer for that (…and donate stuff, too, if you want!)
Lastly, Dan Ohlerking has had some really amazing posts lately with updates from our missions teams all over the world. Go there… just do it… you know you want to!
Where will the garage sale be…at church or elsewhere? Praying for your funds and your faith as you wait!
