Our pastor often mentions a missionary friend of his (Wayne Myers – no, not the voice of Shrek!) who really lived to give, and despite being on a missionary’s income, would often fly through where our Pastor was on the mission field at the time, phone from the airport and insist he come on out to collect the hundreds of dollars that he had for him.

If you want, I can email you my pastors contact details as I am sure he would be happy to give you info on this.

Thank you for bringing up this important subject, Janet.

Someone I know raised five children, ran a home school academy and a Christian bookshop and was a partner in a dance school by living each day ‘laying out the fleece’ without knowing where the next penny would come from, and by keeping true to the words of Joshua 1:8. For a good part of that time the seven had to live in a caravan on someone else’s property and had to live without a car. But the whole family always stayed true to God’s leading and have always been the happiest family you will meet. And the children through learning self-sufficiency, are an inspiration to their peers–one became a school captain! The verse is “Do not let this Book of the Law depart form your mouth; meditate on it day and nigth, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”

Blessings,

Wendy
