Serving an AMAZING God!

For the past two summers, God has called me to work as an intern with CEFOntario. Some days it hasn't been easy to want to follow that call. With school loans and other expenses, money is tight and raising $8000 in support is no easy task. Last year God provided way beyond anything I ever could imagine.

This year was even harder to follow God to the mission field with no government grant to help with that support. But I knew I has to trust God to provide, even when most days it looked like there were going to be a lot of financial struggles ahead this fall when I got back to school. Money was always a worry in the back of my mind.

During Camp Good News, I finally gave up that worry and control I wanted over my finances to God. I knew there was nothing I could do to change it, so there was no need to worry beforehand.

So today when I went to church I wasn't expecting anything. I knew there were a couple smaller donations coming in soon, but nothing major. So when a lady I barely know came up to me and asked me about my support, I wasn't expecting more than $100. Yet, when I opened the envelope I had to look twice when I read the amount. But I read it right the first time! $2000! I was moved to the point of tears.

God definitely provides when we least expect it.
