A couple of days ago I told you about Pastor Rick Warren’s plea for nearly a million dollars in donations for his church to continue doing ministry; the money was urgently needed by the end of 2009. Today he announced that he not only got the 90,000 dollars that they needed…WOW…2.4 million dollars came in from that letter announcing the urgent need.
Not only did more than twice the number of dollars come in, but he also says that none of the donations was more than $100 and it came from every day people…not from huge wealthy donors. In my earlier post I said that if a mega church like his was hurting then surely we all knew that smaller ones all around the world were in the same situation. The results of his letter with the plea is nothing short of a miracle and of his church members committment and dedication. Congratulations to them for being obedient to the call from their pastor.
This is also and encouragement at the beginning of a new year for every other church out there that is struggling…hang in there and be bold and strong in your belief that God is in control and obedience to God’s word is a big part of the equasion. Blessings!

Hey, Rainy!
Kinda renews your faith in humankind, doesn’t it?
We cheered when we heard the news and we had to think how interesting it was for the miraculous event to make the national news!
I betcha God is sitting on his throne, nodding in approval and grinning.
