God's provision

I have been in awe of how God is working through every little detail. The little things that we oftentimes don’t even realize are occurring, God is working through. His provision amazes me every day.

Thursday we gave cloth diapers to the moms at the dump to use for their babies. We had prepared bags with several covers and inserts. When we got to the dump, I had the exact amount of bags I needed. No more, no less. God provided.

 

Friday we went to the orphanage with a suitcase full of shoes. I had shoe sizes for about a third of the kids but I had no idea if I would have enough shoes for all the kids. To my amazement, we had the right amount of shoes and the right sizes. Not only were they the right sizes, but every pair of shoe seemed to fit that specific child’s personality perfectly. I was yet again in awe of God’s provision.

Today we helped with the construction of the special needs school again. The two men working on the school have been so appreciative of our help the past several days. They were so appreciative that they offered to install the new roof of our ministry contacts house, which we were able to buy with the funds we raised. I went to the store today with Paul and Hilda to buy all the sheets and supplies, and it will arrive on Monday. That was a great need for them, and I am so glad we could help. They said they have been praying for months that God would provide for them. Again, I am in awe of God’s provision.

We were also able to buy building supplies for the special needs school. When Hilda called and told the director we were able to buy the remaining supplies, she was so happy. The teachers have been cooking and selling food to raise the money to buy the supplies. It was a big weight lifted off these teachers shoulders.

There are so many stories. So many ways God is working in this community. Along with the roof, today I bought a Rotoplas for the garbage dump, which will provide access to clean water to everyone at the dump. We will be installing it on Tuesday. So many projects, so many ideas, so little time. But I have peace knowing that, although this trip is almost over, I will be back again. My contact Paul asked me last night, so are you coming back in October or December? J God is so good, and I am so grateful that He allowed me to come back to my “home away from home.”
