How Does He Do It?

Well, I'm ashamed to say that when we got the cost estimate for our trip to Nigeria we were a little afraid. Okay, so it was more like the terrified feeling the Children of Israel must have felt when they looked out across the Red Sea. "God has brought us this far, but how is He going to get us through this one?" Well, while we were shaking in our sandals, He was calling us to radical faith in Him. The enemy was hard at work too, trying to make us believe we couldn't do it. And he was right! We can't do it, but our God can!

Right when we decided to move forward in faith, God met us! We made the call to our landlord (of 3 months) to let her now we will be out of our apartment by February 7th in order to save money for our trip. We don't know her well, but she got excited when Jeremy told her about our plans to serve in Nigeria for 4 months...next thing we know she was asking things like, "What are you going to be doing there?" and "Are you fundraising?" and before we knew it she was saying things like, "I'm a Christian too!" and "Don't pay this month's rent, put the money towards your trip!"

You can't imagine how much that encouraged us! God can turn the hearts of Kings and he is already using His body to send us out, not request necessary...

Praise you God! You deserve all glory in heaven and earth :)
