Thank you!

"What you are doing is much more than a service that supplies God’s people with what they need. It is something that will make many others thank God. The way in which you have proved yourselves by this service will bring honor and praise to God." - 2 Corinthians 9:12-13a CEV


Through the generosity of my prayer partners, the Lord has blessed me with the FULL funding required for this work! Even in spite of a $350 price increase, my biggest problem is remembering the many people I should specifically thank.

A few years ago, I went to hear the evangelist Perry Stone preach in Oneonta. The sermon came from Genesis 22 and Acts 27. Perry taught that when God calls you to something, He gradually gives you the four P's: the plan, the place, the provisions, and the purpose. I am so grateful that God has always been with me since His called me to missions. He originally gave me the plan and the place; over three years later, the Lord supplied the provisions!

With God, all things really are possible. What faith do we have if we believe in the resurrection but doubt the Lord will provide for us? Trusting the Lord is a hard thing to do. In spite of my initial doubts, the Lord has raised up many brothers and sisters to fund His work. I am very thankful for God's provision as well as for my Lakeside family and my friends whom the Lord called to fund this undertaking.

  1. Andrew,

    You know the place, Germany, and you know the purpose in Christ.

    God has provided. His plan for you is unfolding.

    I join many more in prayer for you that God will use you this summer for His glory in Germany.
