One of the best (and also most difficult) parts of this venture is trusting God for huge amounts of money. But I wouldn't want to miss seeing him at work for anything!! There are amazing answers to prayer to report already.......
I'm a part of a Jericho team (from the Bridge Street House of Prayer). Our team prays every Monday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. I am the senior member of this team and most are high school or college students. I asked them all to pray a couple of weeks ago because I knew $1,050 would be due the next week for immigration. I didn't really know where this money would come from. We prayed that night for God to release this sum of money......and I saw some possibilities in the next week of how God might be providing. But we didn't have the check for immigration yet. The following Monday our caseworker called me to ask for the check and I told her: "We will have that check for you this week." Then I hung up and wondered why I said that because I didn't know how I would get $1,050 that week. So that evening our Jericho team prayed again. We even thanked God for providing. One of our members said, "I just know you are going to get a phone call tomorrow morning about this money."
Well, I was out running errands Tuesday morning and when I walked into my house, my voicemail was picking up a message from our caseworker. She said, "You won't believe it! I came into the office this morning and there was a check for $1,000 in my box for you guys! You even have some extra for future expenses!"
I know this is only the beginning of watching God meet our needs financially.....and this is HIS idea. So he will bring Trey and Tessa home. It will be fun to watch.
