He's like that, though. You know - infinite.
Today I'm mailing out 75 more letters. We're up to a grand total of 225 now. That, combined with the display we set up one week at church, and the chance we had to speak to our small group, means that we've now informed approximately 300 to 325 people about the work we're called to do in Guatemala.
That's a little staggering to me in and of itself.
Even more so, though, is the response that we've gotten.
It's a wee bit nerve wracking to send letters to a bunch people out of the blue. Especially if those letters include a request for prayer and donations. I've imagined all sorts of terrible possible scenarios, including irritated phone calls, snarky email replies, and even the dreaded 'unfriending' on Facebook.
So far, all we've gotten back in response has been love.
Love. Support. Prayers. Donations. Encouragement. Confirmation.
Wow. God really is that big. He really does work through the hearts and hands of His people. He really has called us (including little ol' me) to share his Gospel in a tiny country in Central America. He really does know how to provide for us, and raise up partners to join us in our work.
Again - wow.
So, for all of you who've supported us with your prayers, faith, and/or finances, I want to say thank you. It means the world (and eternity) to the people we will minister to in Guatemala. But, you're also being an instrument for God's glory and in teaching this gal more about the endlessness of humility.
Thank you for that.
