As a missionary family of eight with a multicultural blend, we have learned what it means to walk by faith and not by sight as we have ministered in Africa for many years. God has always shown us His great faithfulness. This could not have been more apparent than recently when we had a substantial financial burden for one of our children. In faith we prayed that the Lord would provide.
Never knowing how or who He will use to meet our needs, as Isaiah 26:3-4 says, we simply trusted and had perfect peace in His eventual provision. Then God brought Melissa Haynes and More than Sparrows into our lives through a series of circumstances that we could have never foreseen. Melissa shared with us the vision of More than Sparrows and then asked if she could share our need with the board. Eventually we learned that the board had approved the donation to help with our expenses.
We were overwhelmed by God’s goodness through More than Sparrows to provide for this cost that we had no ability to pay. We rejoiced as a family once again that the Lord had used His people to care for us. More than Sparrows was a blessing beyond words to our family and we cannot thank them enough!
