Praise Report!

Praise the Lord! God gave us $2,900 with the March 28th Rummage Sale! After picking up the order of donuts, I arrived at the church @ 445a. I'd been up since 330a. I went to sleep around 1230a the "night" before. I was running on a Divine energy boost! Lou & her husband, John, Margarita & her husband, Carlos, Roy (church Controller), and Anna (our stateside missionary & fervent prayer warrior) were already at the church moving the furniture into place. Shortly thereafter, Elsa & Tricia, along with a handful of the men from the church showed up to continue help set up shop. The "Ironmen" were a huge help to us. They worked together to carry out the 15, or so, tables (already filled with sale items) from the fellowship room. More team members and additional helpers came after 5a to help. We were blessed with around 40 helpers and more showed up later in the morning to work the tables. I was in charge of the toys because everything was 50¢ to $1 and I didn't have to go through the trouble of "haggling" with the customers. I am not very good at pricing things. Lou was wise to give me the "simple" table. LoL!
Another AWEsome thing that happened was:  The Spanish church, Camino de Gracia, set up an evangelism table to share the Gospel of Christ and someone was interested in learning more! Praise the Lord!

When God blesses, He blesses abundantly!
