Answered prayers

We are finishing 48 hours of continuous prayer, focused on the Philippines and outreach, this afternoon at 6 pm. Thanks to all of you who have been praying for us as we get closer to the time of departure.
One of the areas we have found opposition has been in our housing arrangements. The hotel where we were to stay basically gave our rooms to another group...this left the leadership to find last minute housing for 120 people! BUT...God is FAITHFUL! Just this morning the hotel contacted Maged and has decided they have room for us after all. What a blessing!! We thought we may have to rent houses which would require more money and more items to purchase for the trip...towels, bedding etc... Thank you again for your prayers in this and many other areas. This is wonderful news for the outreach!
A few of our team members have been ministering to a group of elderly people at a local church. They share meals and fellowship once a week...it has been a blessing for all. This week, as they were leaving the meeting, one of the women said she wanted to give some money towards the outreach. They were all grateful and expected to receive 20 - 30 pounds....she wrote a check for 2000 pounds!!! WOW...we all were in shock but so excited to see the Lord provide. Only 4250 pounds left to reach our needs as a group!! It has been so exciting to watch the number drop from a need of 14,500 pounds to where we are today...THANK YOU LORD!!!
