Update October 10:
Yesterday, God sent yet another encourager! She was very excited about what we are doing and said she's been waiting on it to happen for 55 years! We were also sent another helper. God is so good to us! This is an exciting time for our family!
October 7:
Yes, everything else is worthless
when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else,
counting it all as garbage,
so that I could gain Christ.Philippians 3:8
This is an update on the situation we have shared about in the past.
Thank you to all who have been praying for us.
God sent three more encouragers!! They are very excited about what we are doing in our community and love that we are simply a family instead of an organization. They particularly mention they love that we are a big family working together as one to accomplish something big! One of these people was formerly opposed to us. There has been a complete turn around in their behavior towards us! That's the God we serve at work in the hearts of those around us.
God also sent a helper!!
God also sent a person who offered free supplies!! Their brother died and left behind a lot of things we can use for this ministry. Clint is going to meet with them soon.
In an answer to prayer for direction on how to handle a certain resource, God sent someone who wanted what we could not use. It is a big help to them and to me. I try very hard to find uses for the resources God sends. I could only think to use this particular resource to continue the nearly invisible barrier around the perimeter of my farm to keep livestock from escaping. I don't have to gather it, load it, haul it, unload it, or place it. It would have been four to six loads in our trailer. To them, it is valuable resources to use daily to make a living. I am beyond thrilled at how God worked this out for the best of both of us.
More people are waving, beeping, and stopping to talk to us!
This situation is far more exciting than what I can share here. It's also a lot of work.
Dear Reader, THIS is why we ask you for prayer. We know what God can and will do for His children! Please keep praying for us. God is at work! Please pray for our protection, that our ministry expands, that people come to know Him through us, that we are good stewards of this opportunity, for God to impart wisdom and knowledge, and for our stamina to stay strong. Please let us know how we can pray for you. For those who do not know, the email address is in the header.
You desire but do not have, so you kill.
You covet but you cannot get what you want,
so you quarrel and fight.
You do not have because you do not ask God.
James 4:2
