The Flores Journey

We had reached a sort of an impass. It felt as though either we needed God to give us an obvious sign that we were to stay the course, or we had to give up. We had been support raising for a few months, working really hard at it--with no result. We felt defeated, disappointed and confused.

After several weeks of crying out to God for an answer, we gave up. Not that we gave up on God, but we gave up on being in control. We told Him that we couldn't do it anymore. That our support raising journey was completely in His hands. And then we sat back, and waited.

That same week at church a friend of ours handed us a check for a couple hundred dollars. It was a sign from God.

Bryan had a dream a couple months back about a truck bed full of apples. The back of the truck was opened, and a couple apples fell out. After those few apples, it didn't take long for the whole truck to dump out. He felt this was a prophetic dream about support raising.

After that first check, the ball kept rolling. We received monthly pledges that blew us away.

God has taken control. And it's a much better game plan than ours!

We are blessed to now be at 9% of our monthly support and 30% of our set-up fund. It may not seem like much, but to us it's monumental. It's God's assurance that this is indeed the path He has set out for us. And we anticipate the great things He will continue to do along the way.
