FUNdraiser Update

My how our God provided last weekend! We are so thankful for those that God used in the last few days. So many participated. Thanks for partnering with us by:
  • donating items both large and small.
  • organizing the items
  • helping "man" the garage sale
  • stopping by and showing your support
  • shopping for our items
  • donating to the cause
  • praying for us and those we rubbed shoulders with

Regardless of our unbelief and/or lack of faith, God did provide every penny we asked for, and then some. Different team members have different stories of how God worked during the garage sale. Here's two quick ones:

  • One guy who likes to garage sale and bargain had various conversations with one of the team members. Bothered by the lack of price tags, Tamara told him to pay what he thought it was worth but reminded him that they were fundraising and would be appreciative if he wanted to donate in addition to his purchase.
  • Another guy who is not the type to garage sale came in and proceeded to check out what was on the various tables. As one of the team members watched him, he knew full well that the guy wasn't interested in anything we had to offer. Was he scanning each table, or counting to 10? We'll never know. But we do know that Rhett got to witness God working through this man as he eventually walked over to the donation box and put a wad of greenbacks in the box.

Lord, You are the Provider. Go we know that you are capable but didn't even begin to imagine how quickly you would provide. Thank you for working in the hearts of believers and those in unbelief. Continue to use us and prepare us to be your hands and feet!
