I was getting worried because a $1000 down payment is due this Friday to secure a spot for me on the plane to England in May. As of today, I had raised $0. Remember… I decided really late in the game to even go on the trip in the first place.
One of the things I have been doing is playing a few hymns every couple of weeks for the oldest Sunday School class at FBC Belton. This morning, before I played, I shared with them the plans I had for the trip but said nothing of the Friday deadline of $1000. Before preaching tonight, the class teacher came up to me and handed me a list of names who donated to a $550 offering that they took up after I left the classroom this morning. Pretty stinkin’ amazing, huh?! I didn’t know what to do except smile a whole lot and give her a hug.
It’s amazing to me that when I so often have the tendency to think that generational gaps are almost impossible to bridge, God uses a group of senior adults to work a miracle in my life and jump start the fundraising for my England ‘08 trip. Today was a great day, and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for the rest of the trip preparations. Only $1250 to go!
