More Open Doors

I am always so amazed at how God is so detailed. He is a God of order and detail. I am so glad he is because if left to my own person the details would never get done. He has once again showed us that he is leading others and us in this path to Uganda.
A couple of weeks ago, Steve and I were talking about what to do with our house. We talked about where we could live if we sold sooner rather than later. If we sell that will be a huge burden lifted. We tossed around some ideas, but just weren't sure what we were supposed to do, but we waited. Prayed. And remained patient to God's leading. We really felt like selling would be our best option, but didn't know how it would all work.
Steve went to Timothy Leadership Training in June and he loved it. He left with all kinds of ideas and things he can't wait to get to Uganda to figure out how he can use all the training. But one of his ideas here was to start a community garden and he thought an open field in our church parking lot would be a perfect place to do this. (If anyone is interested in heading this project up, contact Steve) Anyway we were talking about the logistics of this with our pastors wife and Steve asked if she thought that the house next to it would be open to letting us use water from their house if we paid for the water. Anyway, she said the house is empty so we would have to see and we kind of left it at that. The house was the Reformed churches empty parsonage. Steve started thinking and God was working.
We were camping and we were talking to some people about our idea and they told us the people to contact.
Steve contacted this person as soon as he got a chance too. He then started having phone conversions with a deacon at First Reformed. We met with them on Sunday afternoon and we had a great meeting! God had been preparing them without us even knowing. They were praying about what to do with the empty parsonage at their last meeting and then we called them! I love how God works. We had went through the house and then we sat outside and visited. They listened to our vision and stories about Soroti! I know God placed these specific men in our place for a purpose. They have such a passion for expanding Gods kingdom and for youth. Two of Steve and my biggest passions. It is so hard to describe how the meeting was, God was present. They really want to share their empty parsonage with us and they really want to share in our ministry!! We are going to get to share with more people from Byron Center our calling!
Please pray that our house will sell quickly and that God will bring the right people to our home!
God is a God of detail and he knows all things from beginning to end! We are so thankful that we can rest in that and we are so thankful that he is showing us slowly how he has this all planned out!!
