We were confined to the capital for the length of our stay. When our team arrived in country we were placed under a travel restriction. I prayed, throwing out a fleece to God, “If you provide the funding Lord, I will go.” The next day I received an “unsolicited” check in the mail from a friend for $2,000, enough to cover the full cost of my trip. It was a dangerous area, but the need was great, and a close friend had made the request. I was asked to bring a small team to build a rudimentary clinic for doctors serving villagers that had been effected by the war.Īt the time I did not have the money to go, and was battling fear. Several years ago I was invited to lead a mission trip to a war torn village in North African. There have been several times in my life when God has emphasized the power of giving.
