In 1988 when we started our church we came back from Ministry Training in Queensland and pioneered a work in Narellan 60 k out of Sydney. At that time my husband Bill was working four days a week then it became 3 then 2 as the church grew. Then the Lord said to him go full time and we looked at each other and I said "Ok darling, we may never go to Tasmania for a holdiay but the Lord will always take care of us."
Then two weeks later it was Easter and we had the meeting in our home, as the council needed our venue that day, and a couple came up to us and said "The Lord told us you need a holiday and we thought you might like to go to Tasmania. We want to pay for your flights and hire car and lend you our video camera."
Psalm 37:4 (NKJV)
Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Since then He has taken us to the Ukraine 6 times to South America 8 times. God is no mans debtor. This life of faith is certainly challenging as everything within us wants to be in control of the wheel nevertheless when we let go and let God what a ride He takes us on!
The world needs your footprints - where will He take you?
