Well Mischief

God is full of mischief. Several weeks ago, our church secretary and I met our pastor as she entered the door. She hates to have people meet her when she enters the door. She wants to get her coat off and get settled. We told her we needed to pray about the wells. She looked at our faces and said, is something wrong. I said yes, we are in a recession and only $2,400 came into the wells last Sunday. She thought that was good. In cooperation she proceeded into a fairly long prayer as we both bowed our heads and listened. Then I added, thank you God for the $2,400 in the wells but bless you for the $8,000 in the collection plate. You now have $17,700 for the wells. She looked up, she looked so startled and just couldn't believe it.
That was a Tuesday.

Thursday.....I received an email from Mary, asking if I would meet her fifteen minutes early on Saturday. She needed to ask me a question, get a response but it was not serious. For two days, I thought oh my what have I done now. I met her and we walked into Walgreens. She said there had been two letters that came to the office. She said not everyone was in support of the wells. One letter was for her and the other for me. I probably should read the letter before tomorrow as I might meet the person at church. Oh my....we have a few people from the community that felt we should support local agencies not international ones. So I told her that not everyone would go along with this and that was ok. I was given the letter, I read the letter and said, well that is ok, then I read it again. It said ask your pastor about how much money came in as she is standing right next to you. She held up a sign of $28,080. Almost 3 wells. I just screamed. Not only had we earned the well money but she had really gotten me back, right in a public place. Since that day God keeps providing and enough money for four wells has been accumulated.

I had a prayer followed by a vision.............I was in a body and looking out. I couldn't tell if the body was mine but there were Uganda people all around the body. Nothing more. About a week later, I asked God if we should send someone to Uganda and please show me the face. I was wide awake. I climbed into bed and immediately I had a vision. The face of Jesus showed up bright and clear. Yes we would be sending Jesus. Whoever goes will have Jesus inside of him so much the Ugandan's will know that and if no one goes Jesus will be so present they will fill him.

Money is pouring forth. God has his own plan and he is managing the project. Two and a half weeks into the water well project God had provided enough money for three wells, a half a week later, he had provided money for three and a half wells, AELC has just received enough money for four wells. This God stuff is amazing.
