"Yesu ndi wabwino nthawi zonse" = "God is good all the times!"
I just had to take a few minutes this morning to give a little update. Last Saturday was the long-awaited Reach Out & Touch Banquet which was intended to benefit Save Widows & Orphan Foundation in Ntcheu, Malawi (see my last post for more on this story). I had never planned an event quite like this before in our ministry. I'd been told many times that it's a huge undertaking, but never gave it much thought untill half way through the planning when I realized that I just couldn't do enough follow-up and finalization of plans. In the last weeks of planning that could have been a full-time job on its own!
As the date, 16 March 2013, rapidly approached, I honestly wondered what in the world I was thinking! But, when the day came and the banquet was under way we were so outrageously blessed. We had planned for 75 - 100 people to attend including the help. The event help very well immitated the planing staff...us and our family. About 35 close friends, some new aquaintances others life-long encouragers, made up those in attendance. I was initially discouraged by the low attendance but quickly saw that God was in it in a huge way! From those and four corporate table sponsors almost $1,800 was realized that evening. Since Saturday, as a result of The Moving of The Almighty that number has nearly doubled! I never would have guessed that that kind of life-saving impact would be seen from such a few. Out of our discouragement God exceeds all expectations!
That's the God that I serve!!!
Nthawi zonse, Yesu ndi wabwino!!!
