We Got Wheels...and a bed

As you know we have been praying for a camper, a truck, the house to sell, and financial supporters and prayer supporters for our ministry to Bolivia. Now, you might ask why we need a camper and truck....are we driving to Bolivia??? No! But we are driving through the United States until the end of September meeting pastors, preaching on the street, and ministering in churches to raise support and partners for the mission in Bolivia. The three of us have to live somewhere while we are driving across the U.S. And about a month ago God dropped it in our spirits to get a camper and a truck. So, I began a search, finding a few trucks here and there and a few campers that seemed the right fit. But, without any finances I simply said to God, "Hey, this looks good, don't you think?" And I also reminded God that the clock is ticking (more about that in a minute).

So, two days ago I get a message from my friends that they have a camper that we could use. I said, wow, how generous but I need it the whole summer until September and he said, "I said you could use it as long as you need it. Come by and look at it." So, we did and its even more than what we had been asking God for. It has a bunk bed for Sam...under my plan Sam was sleeping on the floor (just kidding...no angry letters please). Sam would have slept on the couch that converts to a bed. Now he has a place that is his. God is more than we could even ask or think.

As for the clock ticking....In November I was asked how our ministry development was going and I answered with , "I'm just waiting on God." In December friends started delivering messages to me from the pulpit and in sermons saying God is waiting on YOU! During the first week of January I received a word of prayer from my own Son saying the same thing---the sixth time! Another said that I would hear it again. A few days later, I heard it a seventh and then I heard another word from a friend who said, God wants me to tell you this and it doesn't make sense to me, but he says, "The clock is ticking!" Then she asked if I knew what that meant. ----only too well! So God and I have had this thing since then. He reminds me and I remind Him, "the clock is ticking!" Now we are at work everyday getting everything ready and receiving more and more ideas about the ministry. We are locking in arrangements in Bolivia as well. STAY TUNED GOD FANS, SAME GOD TIME, SAME GOD BLOG! (I'm feeling kinda Batmanish, Supermanish...ummm, God's manish? I hope so) {Ok, for you young people the Batman TV show used to say Stay tuned, Same bat time, same bat channel----sheesh, it loses something when you have to explain it!} - RON-

We love you all and thank you for your prayers and support. We are going to try and keep you posted on what is going on with us via this Blog. God is doing such amazing things so quickly that we have a hard time keeping up. Please please please keep us in your prayers. -RHONDA-
