Dear friends and family,
STOP GIVING! WE HAVE ENOUGH FOR THE CAR! "Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” And so the people were restrained from bringing more, because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work." (Ex 36:6-7)
While in the States a few brothers and sisters asked us about needs that we might have and I sometimes mentioned a need for reliable transportation. In a previous blog (a month ago) I wrote about how God was beginning to provide for this need and that brothers and sisters from different churches had sent us about $9,000 for a new car. I also mentioned that the car we were looking at was about $20,000.
We didn't know how God would work or how long He might have us wait so we just prayed and put it into His hands. We didn't ask anyone for money or try to twist anyone's arm on this, we just tried to look to God "who owns the cattle on a thousand hills." When we received last months CMML statement we were amazed to see that God moved different people (some that we don't even know) from different places to provide $11,630! That made our grand total $20,630 .... the exact cost of the minivan we were looking at!... The Lord provides!
We now have a 2011 JAC "refine" 12 passenger minivan that will help us immensely as we make our cross country treks between the jungle, mountains and coast. We want to thank our great God and all of those that He used to bless us with this helpful ministry tool.
"The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord." This time He has chosen to give and we want to Bless His holy name and give Him the glory.

Praise The Lord! We know that He answers all prayer. Yes, No, And Wait. But when we see Him answer in the "Wait" then we see more of His Power, Love and Grace! We also see He rewards those who wait in long suffering with extra touches to the need! I am praising Him for His love shown to you. Love You and God Bless you all and will see you again here in Battle Ground when you return home. Lord Willing.
In His Love.. His lilrose/ Roselee and Kaya. - At November 3, 2011 at 10:14 AM Anonymous said...
