When the Lord called us to serve in Haiti, He was asking us to make a faith promise to go to Haiti no matter what we needed to do to keep that promise. We know that the Lord will not ask us to do anything without His help.
A faith promise is when we say Lord I trust you to provide for us during this time that you have ask us to step out in faith. We do not know how it will all work out but we do know that the Lord will make it happen and that we are safe in His hands.
Today we are moving out of our house. Our renters will move in on Saturday. We do not know how long we will be living with our daughter as we raise support for the Lord's work in Haiti. We do know that each step is a step of faith. We trust the Lord, He has a plan and we are part of it. We understand that every step our faith grows because we become more and more dependent on him.
Friday we will be sharing with the students at Bethel Christian School. Then on the 19 we will be sharing our work with our brothers and sister at Grace Church. The Lord has spoken to our hearts about teaching the family on how to win souls for Christ through a faith promise. We will present that work to our families for the first time that night. I wish to teach my grandchildren the same lesson.
God asks faith promises from all of us. Some it is a faith promise of time others of money, and others of both. We are learning ourselves just how God honors that. A true faith promise is a promise we make not of what we have extra of, but what we may have to make scarifies in order to be able to give it.
