Extravagant Provision


Tonight we had one of our weekly all campus services.  Before the speaker came up a missionary from Kyrgyzstan named Jeff came up and shared a short testimony of the work he is doing.  There is a remote people group in Afghanistan that is unreached and he wants to take a team of ten people to go and give them the message of the hope of the Gospel.  The physical needs in this people group are immense but the spiritual need is even more significant.  Imagine an entire people group that has never even heard the name of Jesus!!!  Crazy! 

We took an offering tonight to fund Jeff’s trip.  He told us that he needs $10,000 for their trip as a whole.  At the end of the service one of the YWAM leaders came up and announced the amount that was raised in tonight’s offering… $10,000.07!!!!! 

God loves to give us even more than we ask for.  Tonight it was seven cents more than Jeff asked for.  Just enough to be extravagant, but not too much that we missed seeing His hand on the offering.  He is soooo good and will provide to those who are faithful and want to do his work.


"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” –Ephesians 3: 20-21
