Mark and I had been planning to make a return trip to visit
our friend for which we had found a safe place to stay. On this trip we wanted to try and
bring supplies to bless him and the organization that took him in. I was not sure what we would bring or where we would even find it.
The morning before we were scheduled to leave, a few
situations came up that made it look like we would have to reschedule our visit
for another time. As I was about to walk out of morning prayer
I was asked by leadership if we were going to visit him that day. The
next thing I knew we were offered the opportunity to search the XP
storage room to see if there was anything we could bring to the men’s center to
bless their organization.
As we looked through the supplies that visitors had so
generously donated it dawned on me how God had provided more than I could have
ever hoped for. There were bags of men's clothing, children's clothing, cleaning
supplies, personal hygiene products, and even coloring books and crayons to
give to the kids. Thank you for all that you have given, it makes a difference!
We loaded up the Tuk-Tuk and there was barely room for Mark
and I to sit! As I reflected on the goodness of God in this situation I realized
how He had provided more than I had ever hoped to bring them. On my own I
would have had only a small bag of goods, but through partnership with everyone
who is sowing into what we are doing at XP Missions, there was more than enough!
I want to take this opportunity to encourage any of you
reading this that are looking at your circumstances and don’t see the provision
that you need. The Lord is faithful. He knows exactly what we need and when we need it. Search out
promises in the Word and declare them over your life right now! Many times I
have waited right up to the very last minute before a breakthrough came, but He
has never let me down. Even when we least expect it, He is still making a way
that’s far more amazing than anything we were previously able to hope, think, or
imagine! (Ephesians 3:20)
I also want to encourage those of you who have sowed your
time, finances, and prayers into our Cambodian missions. Without you we would not be able
to do anything that we are so blessed to be a part of. I greatly
appreciate all that you do; let us never forget that we are all one body
working together towards the same goal of expanding the kingdom.
Thank you all so much,
God bless you!
