Providence

It is a constant comfort to know that God is in complete control of our lives. If we do not keep this in the forefront of our minds it is easy to get discouraged. It is especially encouraging to know that God is in complete control over our ministry this summer.

I shared in my first post that one or our team members could not travel with us because of an illness. After our service tonight we shared prayer requests. Two different team members asked that we pray for two different ladies that they had been able to talk to on the plane. I believe they were both able to share the Gospel with them. One of the ladies lives in Nuremberg and we gave her the contact information for a church there. She may even come to one of our concerts.

We were all encouraged that we were able to witness on the plane until one member spoke up: “You know, I was thinking . . . We were seated alphabetically, and those two ladies were sitting where John would have been sitting if he had been able to come with us.” And we all praised our God. What a kind God to show us so soon one of the reasons for the circumstances that did not seem good to us. We still do not know all of the reasons John could not go, and probably never will or need to, but we can trust Him.
