God's Orchestration pt 2

Raising up a team of partners for our ministry with FamilyLife has opened a new dimension in our awareness of God’s hand. We get so busy we sometimes don’t even slow down enough to see God at work.

Over the past month, God has placed in our path friends from the past. One couple was at a restaurant sitting at a table next to Harold and the other showed up in a class Harold team-teaches in Tulsa. Both have become part of our team. Again, the world sees this as coincidence, but we saw both as divine appointments God orchestrated.

The last thing, which took place the last week of February was the appointment of our family as missionaries representing our home church of 28 years. It was an exciting half hour of sharing and Q&A, then a 100% affirming vote approving us as missionaries to FamilyLife. The most humbling part was the time of prayer at the end where the Elders gathered around us, laid hands on us and prayed. It was overwhelming to hear how God has, once again, affirmed our call into ministry through these godly men.
