A genuine miracle

Today I received one of those phone calls that changes your life. My good friend Jack Hutchins from Winston Salem, NC called about the 2010 Africa Mission Trip he is setting up to find out if I was interested in going. Jack and I have been friends since he and a mission team came to AK several years ago and we have stayed in touch. Some reading this might remember that Becky and I went to Africa together in 2008 - see the slide show below. I shared that I was interested, but that current circumstances were proving to be a problem for getting that kind of money together again. What happened next is the miracle that only God could do though and in His people. Jack told me that he had seen the connection in my eyes and knew Africa had touched my heart and then said, "if you are still interested in going someone has provided a scholarship for your costs and it won't cost you anything to go..." I began to weep as the realization of his statement set in. Four hours later I'm still on the verge of tears to know that God does provide, even before we ask and more than we ask or think - Eph 3:20-21. What an amazing God we serve - don't ever let money or any human thing stand in the way of doing God's will. So, next year I will be back in the awesome African continent, in beloved Kenya, sometime in June. Start praying now for us and Africa that God would use us mightly again.
