Its always easy to believe God when things are going right and especially when things are going as planned. But when things seem like its going downhill, it takes a whole lot of faith to believe in God's promises.
Take me for example. Last month as I was doing my retreat, I was talking to God about my concerns about having a venue for project lives. I've done all I could, we started out early, sending out requests and all 6 months and yet there was nothing. Its worrying. And at just 1 and a half months away from the event, God prompts me to trust in Him and he will provide.
Now almost a month passed and nothing is heard, I start to fret. Did i hear wrongly ? Is the whole project going downhill ? 3 weeks to the event and no venue. My faith was simply tested and pushed to its limits.
Project LIVES! is one of the most critical campaigns for RADION. Its a campaign to raise awareness and raise support. And this year, everything hung on having a venue for 15 & 16 Oct.
After so many sleepless nights, proposal writings and appeals. Nothing worked and I was at a total loss. And just 2 days back, we had a meeting to decide what we should do. There was no updates, no replies and we were going down.
Yesterday, suddenly Shirleen messaged ! She told me that one of her contacts replied and they are keen to support the campaign ! That was just one day before our final cut off and there it was, given to us free of charge !
SCAPE YOUTH PARK !
Amazing how God works and how he pushed us little faith in Him.
So yeah, I'm terrible exhilarated and looks like project lives 2011 is a go !
Hi Eugene,
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord for His faithfulness and timeliness! Not sure if you remember me, i went on one of the Radion STMTs in June 2009. Doesn't matter but i was really touched by this post and reminded how the Lord who calls is faithful to see His people through ANY and EVERY circumstance. :)
ps: and gosh, SCAPE is a great place for campaigns, honestly couldnt have hoped for better! He knows best eh?
In Him,
Rachel C.
