The End of the Dream
and the Birth of Hope
May 17,
2005
The goal was 25 computer centers and
100 schools being fed. It’s getting late in the game, but we had one more big
chance. Some friends invited us to share after their church service at their
large church in MN. I had this hope that the right people would hear the
message, and we would hit the goals.
And then the pastor, who had been at
the church for 17 years, announced he was resigning from the pulpit to go on the
mission field. He was going to have a meeting right after the service; the same
time as our meeting. I leaned over to our host and said `I want to go to his
meeting too!’
So did everyone else. We had a few
people show up, but I realized that there would be no way that this church would
close the gap. And the most wonderful thing happened to me: I felt covered in
His peace like I have never felt before. It was a wonderful weekend of
fellowship with dear friends that was refreshing and
inspiring.
My dream ended, but He birthed a
hope in me. I don’t have a clue how big this thing should get or will get, but
my hope is in Him.
We’ve attached our most recent snail
mail because we don’t have snail for everyone.
We also wanted to let you know that
we are going to be at Colleyville Christian Fellowship this Sunday, May
22nd from 2-4 pm. We will give a short update on our work and show a
video from 2-2:30. The rest of the time is just for fellowship. Please
stop by and say hi if you are in the area. The address is
God bless you
all.
Love
Steve, Nancy, JT, Matthew, Ben and
