Where God Guides, He Provides!

The title of this post is something that Mary Geegh said in her book "God Guides." She was a missionary in India in the middle of the 20th century. She had many experiences where she was guided to do something extraordinary and God came through with his providence. This Monday we received some surprising news that shows how God is providing for our missionary journey.

One of the owners of the company where I work, Extol Inc, came up to me and told me that they just ran the numbers and found out that for the last fiscal year we turned a profit. This was a surprise because I had talked to him before and it sounded like we would just break even for the year. Thankfully the fiscal year ended before some not so good months, so for that time period there was a profit. Since Extol is a Christian company they give a tithe on any profit, so they decided to support us with a financial gift.

When he told me how much I was floored! They are going to contribute $5,000!!! WOW! This will cover a pretty big chunk of our start up funds that we have to raise before we leave. I have been praying for miracles lately, and this is certainly is an answer to prayer. All Glory to God, he continues to show us that it is indeed his will for us to go on this journey. He will provide everything we need to make this happen. Amazing, isn't it?

I have to say a huge thank you to Extol for donating this money, it will enable us to minister to the orphans in Romania. What an awesome group of people we have at this company, that they would make a donation like this is really outstanding. Above all, thanks to God for providing this for us. We continue to pray for more miracles like selling our house and raising the rest of the start up fund and monthly commitments. God is so faithfull and we are looking forward to more surprises!
