God's Faithfulness

A couple weeks ago, I was calling churches, trying to find places that we could speak to the congregation in hopes of garnering some financial support.  Of the many churches I called, only 1 or 2 pastors would even agree to meet with us to hear about what we're doing.  Don't take that the wrong way.. pastors get called all the time from missionaries seeking support.  They can't possibly hear us all out.  Nonetheless it was frustrating, and it planted a seed of doubt our minds. 

After some much needed reminding that God is in control, and it's not me "raising" any support, I sought Him in prayer.  That was a few days ago.  Yesterday we got a call from Jess's mom saying "Oh hey, I talked to a friend of mine and their church wants to support you."  It was yet another reminder that God is faithful, and our financial burden is not really ours, but His.  We had never contacted that church or done any "work" to garner support there.  But the Holy Spirit had been working behind the scenes on our behalf.

Today I spoke with two pastors who were more than glad to have us come and speak at their churches, offering as much time as we need, and possibly support from the church.

God is good.  Good and faithful.  And in control.
