God faithfulness to hear our prayers
Posted: March 17th, 2008, 1:49 pm
Today as I was driving, I was praying. We recently took on a project to provide a well for pure water for a village where we have an orphanage with 120 children. The church and oprhanage building were completed. While there recently the elders of the village showed me the water sample and share many stories of the children being sick and getting worms from the water. The worms grow under the skin and get quite large and nasty.
The project will cost about $12,000 ( this is not an appeal, it is thank you to the Lord ) As I was praying I simply spoke and said to the Lord, We just don't have that extra lying around. They are your children and you have called us to help but the need is there.
When I got home, Nancy said we had a phone call from a couple that I served as their pastor in the mid 70's while pastoring in the cogop. (PG, this is where Gary and Bonnie saw the miracles he talked about)
They told Nancy that they had heard of what we were doing and they wanted to help. nancy told them about the water project and they are sending the check for half. They said if the rest did not come in they would be good for the whole amount.
Once again, look at what God has done. 30 years later. Every day I am reminded of God's awsomeness, and how much He is constantly aware of our needs and how He is always there to meet them.
1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
1John 5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
A side note: This man was one of the healing miracles when Gary and Bonnie Holcombe held us a revival at this church. He was crippled and God healed him and he walked into the arms of his wife. We just learned that he never had to use crutches or a wheel chair for these 30 years.
PG do I need to tithe to state or general hq on this
