Watching God Provide..!

This is a time of waiting upon the Lord and watching how He provides in amazing ways. I’m always surprised at who He touches to provide for the work in Argentina. Often times, I make my lists of people who I think will support this ministry but often times my own plans fall through. God uses the unexpected people and does so in His own timing.

This time of waiting can become discouraging but I am learning to trust in God and wait upon Him a little more each time I go through it. I started looking for God’s provision in the little things. One of the times I was discouraged, I received an envelope from 2005 when I was raising support. Someone after years of holding onto my support letter sent me $5. It was not the amount that mattered to me, but the fact that God was showing me that He was faithful and would provide for my every need; whether it be financially or the encouragement to be faithful to the calling He has placed on my life.

That is the most important part of this whole process. It is God’s ministry in Argentina, I am just the one He has called to participate in the work. And because it is His ministry, He will provide the way. As I take walks, often times I find a coin on the street. I pick it up and am reminded that it is “In God we Trust” and I need to trust God. In this time of waiting, I can trust in God’s faithfulness. That is the choice I am making.

I am so grateful for the friends and family that God has surrounded me with. I am grateful for family of believers who has supported me throughout the years through prayers, encouragement, financial gifts and even challenging me along the way.

Thank you to those who are continuing to support me. I’m excited to see that some have already returned their slips. Many more have told me they are praying about how much they are going to send in. Others have told me they are praying for my ministry. Each of you plays an important part in the work God is doing in Argentina. Thank you so much and may God continue to bless your lives and ministries here in the States!
