To God be the Glory!
I was just distributing the "brochures" out today in church and was really thankful to God for the results. At first, I was so worried about the support raising part, esp. on money matters. Afterall, it's a sensitive issue and well, it's a tough environment to live in afer all. Then at the support raising seminar, there were testimonies about how God allowed support to come in through people you don't even know! I was like, wow...Okay, so I must approach my church people first. Afterall, my groups of friends are in church. So I told my choir. Well, since most are still studying, I can't expect too much isn't it? Then the older ones, I don't really dare to approach them... coz not so close to them... but I still told them...
Then two of my friends said they would offer to support me. I was so stunned! Coz I know how much it means for them to support me. It would mean that they are short to renovate their new flat which they were planning to do so. So I said, hey, I don't really expect too much from you all, you know... I can't really take from you. Then the reply came... "Well, we are not doing it for you, you know. We are offering it to God through you."Thank the Lord!
At this time, the brochure wasn't very settled yet since there are so many changes to the destination and stuff... so what I did was to update this group of people what was happening. Then after one service few weeks back, an senior sister came to say that she would like to offer and hence asked for the cheque addressee. I thanked the Lord once again!
So now, I had met 50% of the amount. Wow, God really send forth His army. There are only 4 of them yet I've met 50%... then, I began to ponder...Erm... so, my resources like used up already... no more responses already, next 50% how?Well, I began to worry abit again... but God's plans are just so unknown to us... and who knows what God will do next... I told myself that just leave it to God...!
Okay, so today I went to church armed with 30 brochures... was wondering how many people would response... the first response I got was "So, I don't like Crusade, was just talking about it." I went ??? Next response was "So, I read finished already, here, you can have it back..." I went ??? again.However, I still continued to give out. I was debating whether I should give out to some people. You know, you just have this feeling that the person won't be interested... or stuff like that...
Anyway, I went to talk to my sunday school's teacher's husband... then he was like "You are going TOKYO!!! WOW!!! My heart has always been with Japan. I have always wanted to do something like that! They didn't have it when I was in Uni! Do you need financial support?"Wow! Thank God once again!
Many times I have missed out people which I think would not be able to offer and I just kept approaching people that I think would offer.
But the result is really unexpected. People I approached are more reluctant than those I thought I would skip over.God really showed me that I should judge people on my own expectations.And to God be the Glory, for the great things He hath done!
So to my team, continue to trust upon the Lord for He will show miracles. >_<
