Packing for our trip

Tonight we packed supplies for our trip. Amazing things happen when you get out of God's way. We have been collecting items for a couple of months now.... So we started packing and when we finished we had 18 supply duffel bags.... the exact number of team members. 1 supply bag for each of us. AMAZING!
That's not the only way God has shown up... We had some issues collecting the hoodies and shoes... so again God provided us a connection to Soles for Souls who supplemented our collection! That connection came from Vince making an announcement at his Wednesday youth group and one of his friends whose father works for Soles for Souls told the Dad..."Vince needs help".
We have had a great deal of support from local churches and church families, and for that we thank you.
We have had enough money donated for 18 of the 20 food boxes which means the money we earned at the other fund raisers will go for some other things we can provide to the kids at the City of Children.
God has provided over $20,000 to make this trip possible.
I do know this...it is no mistake we have 18 people with 18 supply bags and God providing everything needed to make this an unforgettable journey for all of us going.
We are vessels used by God to provide for the needs of the world... it's his party and we are here to celebrate with him. We all need to stop and thank God for opportunities provided us.
