Just the Way it Happens...
I got my weekly phone call from WHM yesterday regarding my support. I'm supposed to have 50% raised two weeks from Thursday. The call was a little discouraging. I didn't have it yet. I needed to call, email, whatever I needed to do to get more in. And obviously, I definitely needed to pray.
So...I had to go up to the Missions office after I got off the phone to drop off a copy of my support letter for them. I was a little bummed about my support statement and immediately began to think the worst, even though just an hour before, I had been thinking about how excited I was to get this opportunity. On my way to the Missions office I ran into a friend of mine. He asked me how I was and I told him about my phone call with WHM. Almost immediately he said "I'll give you $100!" I thought at first he was just joking around (we are all poor seminary students after all!). He wasn't kidding. He was serious! And that happened literally 5 minutes after I'd been wondering what I was going to do if I didn't get all of my support in. Yep, that's how God works. That's exactly how He does things. When we least expect it, He steps in and provides.
I leave you with 2 links to 2 videos. One is a slideshow on the website for the Vienna Team and the other is a short video Brie found on the Greater Europe Mission website. I encourage you to view both :)
