Andy's Journal entry for January 20, 2010

God in His great mercy, grace—in His sovereign will—in all His goodness has blessed us with another huge memorial.  He has brought us to 100% of our financial need.  Wow!!  God is so faithful.  We have spent about 3 years 9 months on pre-field ministry.  It really doesn’t seem like it has been that long. 

We have prayed so long for 100%--it just seems unbelievable that we have reached this point-- that it has come. We have visited around 112 churches across the Midwest and out East.  We are so thankful for God’s supply of our living trailer, Dodge Ram, tool trailer, and even our van!  God is so good, faithful, and gracious.  We have never been in need!  We don’t always have what we want, but we always have what we need!  We Praise God for this.  From here we look forward to hearing from our building director on where we will be going for our first building project.  When we hear, you will be the first to know!

Thank you, God for calling us to this ministry.  Thank you, God for supplying us with a presentation that was so good; it was God-given.  Thank you, God for supplying me with the ability to speak.  I try to inform all that it is only by your grace that even one word makes sense that I speak.  Thank you, God for supplying churches to present at.  Every meeting was from your hand, for your glory.  Thank you ,God for those that you have called to partner with us in prayer and finances.  All of them have been called by you to serve you in this fashion and we praise you, God for supplying us with these partnerships.  We thank you, God for the joy that you gave us in pre-field ministry. We didn’t know how you were going to use us at each church.  We prayed that we would be used as an encouragement,an aid, a yielder of the gospel, a challenger, and able to meet specific needs.  We have seen you use us in these ways and ways that we may never know.  Thank you,God for choosing to use us for your glory. Thank you, God for your faithfulness. Thank you for 100%.  Amen.

By God’s Grace,

Andy
