First Supporters!

I love it when God works through others to bless His people.  Sometimes we are the blessee and other times we are the recipients of that blessing.  For some people it's more difficult to be the recipient than it is to be the vessel.

Greg and I have decided that we are going to approach financial support for this whole endeavor by trusting in God to provide what we need at each juncture.  Our efforts will focus on praying in support and not soliciting.  Not that we won't do what need to do to make people aware of our needs, but we are going to let the Holy Spirit work to move people to give. 

Our first financial goal is to raise money to be able to visit Japan in Oct.  We are looking to God to be faithful to provide. 

I had an interesting interaction with a dear sister in Christ.  I offered her something that she needs to pursue what I would call a career, but she may consider a hobby... (she's that good!) and asked that she not pay me, but consider contributing to our "Watts to Japan in Oct. fund".  Amazingly she responded that her family would rather not give a lump sum, but give on a monthly basis.  I giggled when she asked if we are prepared to accept that and thought... gee, we haven't even gotten there yet!

God is so faithful He is already preparing people's hearts to contribute the work He wants to do through our family.  I'm very thankful to these dear family friends... they are most certainly a family always desiring to do the best for their Lord.  Just having them pray for us will be exciting!  I have heard story upon story from this dear family of how God has always provided for them when they need or even want something.  They are faithful to ask, God is faithful to provide.

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.   1 John 5:14-15
