What an amazing closing program to our VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL! It was an amazing week and the exclamation point was placed on Thursday night. First of all, we had a full house as we met in the Worship Center before heading out to the back field for fun and games and food. Our kids and parents were challenged on Wednesday night toward an unheard of offering goal of $3600 to build a home for a needy family in Haiti. We had already "blown away" our goal of $1000 and were sitting at $1500+. We met our missionaries, prayed and began to sing our hearts out with "Fixin My Eyes on Him" and "Everlasting Love". Holly then headed toward the stage and handed me a piece of paper. WOW! It was a great closing night offering of $664!! That put us over $2000 and became the highest VBS week offering in the history of LCC. Once again I brought up the missionaries to praise the Lord with them and give them the opportunity to say thanks. However, even I was not prepared for what would happen next. One of the missionaries came over and whispered in my ear..."someone has promised the rest". WHAT? Did I hear Rosa correctly? Yes, I did! An anonymous donor promised over $1400 to bust through the $3600 mark! WOW! The place went NUTS! I began to cry, lots of people got slimmed and most importantly, a needy family in Haiti will have cement floors and walls and 2 rooms! GOD IS GOOD...ALL THE TIME & ALL THE TIME...GOD IS GOOD!!!
The really cool part was that our VBS was one night shorter this year and we are in one of the toughest economies in years. Remember, God can do more than we can ever hope, dream or imagine!
I can't wait to see what he wants to do at church tomorrow!
B. OUT!!
