We have been in Idaho for the past week. When we drove over the border from Utah, I almost felt like I was coming home, since, of course, I spent my first four years in the U.S. at Boise Bible College. We have been staying in Boise, and will continue to do so for the next couple weeks.
We spent this past Sunday two hours away in Buhl, ID. I spoke at Buhl First Christian Church. I was given the full sermon time to speak. My best friend and her family used to attend this church, and so I had been there multiple times before. I was glad to see so many familiar faces, and catch up with those who I knew. At the end of my presentation, I challenged the congregation with donating enough money for a travel generator ($800). Since there is no electricity in the rural areas where I will be ministering, this small generator would enable me to do many things that otherwise would not be possible. However, the congregation was so generous, that it gave over $1,000! There were also a few people who said they would send a check later, which means that the church has a potential to give enough for a house generator ($1,200)! God is so good, and His people have been so generous. We are extremely thankful for these friends in Buhl, ID!
In addition to that, a high schooler in the church is doing her senior project on JM2Z, and announced that to the church after my presentation. She has decided to help raise money/supplies for back to school packs. The children in Zimbabwean schools are not provided with any school supplies at school, and these items can be very costly for the parents to provide. These back to school packs include pencils, pens, erasers, rulers, etc. The senior who has taken on this project is very much appreciated!
We have several other churches and many individuals we are in contact with in the Boise area. Please pray that all of these meetings and conversations would go according to God's will. We thank Him for His provisions, and trust that we will continue to see Him through those we come into contact with.
