Thank you all for your support!! =)
Thank you so much all for being a part of God’s answer to my prayer. Your partnership in finances AND in PRAYER is a huge encouragement for me, and it really means that we’re all venturing out to Montreal together, and we’ll all be a part of God’s work there as a team! =)I have to say, raising support for finances and prayer is a humbling experience. And also a huge way to see God work! I had a bit of a late start to my financial support raising, but no worries… “God would provide” as we ask in faith. But when two-weeks-to-departure day came and went, and I had raised only 10% of my support, I was like… oh dearrrr. But I serve a God who is bigger than I know! In the span of one week, God provided 120% of the funds I needed for the trip! I was blown away!! Praise God! It’s funny, even though I was expecting God to provide, I am still completely amazed.
I am so blessed by all of you, but just have to mention one story in particular. Auntie Christine helped me to raise more than half of my funds by sharing about my trip with patients at her doctor’s clinic. She told me about how many people had money but not the means to be take part in a missions trip right now, and so were delighted to support me! They don’t even know who I am! God really showed me that it’s not about me… in everything, He is the one that provides!
Alritee, well, here I am after a tizzy of post-exam trip preparations... all my bags packed and a-ready to go! Thanks again to each of you for your support, and I'll be in touch again soon... in MONTREAL!
Some Requests for Prayer
“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered… “I tell you, whatever you ask for it in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
For me:
o I haven’t even left yet, but I am exhausted! Please pray for a good night’s sleep on the plane, quick adjustment to the 3 hour difference, and the energy for a great start to the project!
o That I would be seeking God moment by moment starting now! The last few days have been so busy with getting things ready that it’s been a fight not to leave God behind in the process!
o My project in Tanzania in 2004 was definitely a huge picture-perfect blessing. Please pray that I won’t be comparing any aspect of this Montreal project to Tanzania, because it’s not the same trip… and God has new and different blessings for me this summer.
For the team:
o That our team would become a TEAM quickly, and that we would bond together, united in Christ, and truly love each other with God’s love and enjoy each other’s friendship.
o That we will especially be able to get along well, and overcome any hindering differences, with our roommates!
o That we would all adapt quickly to the French language and culture of Montreal.
o That we would eagerly work together and let God work through us, to bring God glory!
For the people of Montreal:
o That God would be preparing now the hearts of those we will be meeting this summer… that hearts, eyes, ears, and minds would be opened to receive and understand the Gospel of Jesus.
