This blog will never let express fully my love of what I do and the blessings I receive each day. I am blown away by who God chooses to support what I do. The relationships I have made with those I work with are one of the greatest gifts. On my very first trip here My friends and I met a young lady named Jenny. She was there to help the local Pastor take care of us missionaries. She would wake each morning and prepare our breakfast and tend to our needs. She would go with us out in to the field and work right along side of us. She would fix lunch and dinner each day and at night she slept in what was basically a shed outside the church where we were staying. She told us one night that she felt the calling to be a Pastor. We were so happy for her. We would chat every so often via Facebook and I would ask how she was. She would always say " I am well Thank God". One of our later trips we were able to get her a study bible for her to use while studying to be a Pastor. She wept so uncontrollably that we all ended up tearing up. She is one of the sweetest kindest people I have ever met. When i arrived for this trip I was told about the condition of her home. It was in pretty rough shape and needed repairs. Better yet she needed a new house period. The cost was figured up at a bible study group one night and then presented to other local Pastors to see if they could help. I wanted to help as well. My funds are limited to put it nicely but I thought maybe my friends could and would want to help. I posted on social media the need and what I got in response blew me away. The Pastors had already come up with half of the money needed to build Jenny a new home of concrete. The house she currently resides in is nothing more than four poles and some scrap tin and wood. Her new home would be made of concrete. The day after I put the word out she needed help a friend from my childhood whom I least expected to help sent word through his dad that he wanted to help. Not only did he cover the cost he gave more so jenny will now get a few other much needed things for her new home. I have learned never to doubt how much God provides and when he provides it. I do however get amazed by the ones he uses to bless me and this ministry. God is so good.
