May 17, 2005
The goal was 25 computer
centers and 100 schools being fed.
It’s getting late in the game, but we had one more big chance.
Some
friends invited us to share after their church service at their large
church in
MN. I had this hope that the right people would hear the message, and
we would
hit the goals.
And then the pastor, who
had been at the church for 17
years, announced he was resigning from the pulpit to go on the mission
field.
He was going to have a meeting right after the service; the same time
as our
meeting. I leaned over to our host and said `I want to go to his
meeting
too!’
So did everyone else. We
had a few people show up, but I
realized that there would be no way that this church would close the
gap. And
the most wonderful thing happened to me: I felt covered in His peace
like I
have never felt before. It was a wonderful weekend of fellowship with
dear
friends that was refreshing and inspiring.
My dream ended, but He
birthed a hope in me. I don’t
have a clue how big this thing should get or will get, but my hope is
in Him.
We’ve attached our
most recent snail mail because we
don’t have snail for everyone.
We also wanted to let you
know that we are going to be at
Colleyville Christian Fellowship this Sunday, May 22nd from
2-4 pm.
We will give a short update on our work and show a video from
2-2:30. The
rest of the time is just for fellowship. Please stop by and say hi if
you are
in the area. The address is
God bless you all.
Love
Steve, Nancy, JT,
Matthew, Ben and Katie
