An Epic Journey

I just got back from a lunch with a good friend at BCC.  I was telling him how the funding that we had been hoping to get had fallen through, see this post, and how bummed out I was.

He started to tell me how his kids had decided, after my last sermon, that they wanted to support Epic Church.  I was blown away.  To have kids dig deep and give to the Kingdom like that is truly one of those awe inspiring things - and entirely humbling.  He then proceeds to tell me that he and his wife have been talking too.  They had just yesterday, found out about a sum of money that they had attained from an investment - a rather significant amount of money.  They decided to give it to Epic in a lump sum.  I just about started crying right then and there.

I had been so bummed by the funding we had lost the day before - it was significant enough that I wasn’t sure how we could even make it.  On the same day we lose it, God moved my friends to give their significant amount.  I honestly am tearing up thinking about it.  God has used so many people on this journey to encourage us to continue the fight.

Another good friend told me yesterday afternoon that he is going to be supporting us on a monthly basis at a really significant level and not only that, but that he would add Jenni and I to their cell phone plan so we wouldn’t have to worry about a cell phone bill.

All of this right after we had some pretty crushing news.

I’m telling you, I believe more firmly than ever that God is the one who provides our needs - He is faithful, even when we are not!   Praise God!
