“MY SMALL REQUEST, GOD’S ANSWER”

Just recently I (Molly) have been in the process of raising $40,000 to allow us to do the set-up work to take our outreach sports camp training to 12 new countries in the next 12 months. I started praying that God would give me the courage to ask folks to give toward this and that He would provide the money.
The day I set out to do this, the first check of $1,000.00 arrived from a gentleman that was on my list to call to see if he would repeat his gift from last year. I called him right away and told him how God had used him as an encouragement to me that if I was faithful to ask He would provide the money we needed. God sent this gift before I even had time to ask.
So, I kept praying and asking everyone I have met with this fall and God surprised me again. One of the couples who gave a gift of $5,000 last year sent in an amazing gift. I was trying to get a hold of them to ask about a repeat gift, but kept missing them, so I decided to just ask them to pray about a repeat gift towards the $40,000 we needed in a voice mail message on their answering machine. Not even a week later, I showed up at a staff meeting and our operations guy told a story of how a couple days before UW had hit a day where there was no more finances in for our “TLC” journey and they were deciding if we would have to postpone ministry in 2010 until more money came in..that very day a check arrived in the mail from this couple who I had just left a voice mail message. Not only did they repeat their gift, they doubled it to $10,000 which was just the amount we needed to move forward for our next step of ministry.
I now have $29,000 of the $40,000 either in or pledged to come in by the end of 2009….I can’t wait to see how God is going to bring in the rest!!! Maybe He’ll even choose you to help??
