Today I received some wonderful news from the Vice President of Advancement at the National Office for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. Over the past few weeks I have been in conversations with the Vice President, along with my Area Director and the Regional Director regarding my decision to leave staff for financial reasons. While I had turned in my resignation, I also communicated to all three that my deep desire is to remain on staff and continue serving university students in the state of Georgia. Since these conversations began, I have been praying like crazy for God to provide a way for my job with InterVarsity to continue. I felt I had done all I could and the only thing left to do was pray. This is when I asked all of you to pray with me.
Well today I received some INCREDIBLE news! The Vice President has heard about my work on staff and is committed to keeping me on board for at least another year. Towards that goal he is contributing $15,000 towards my support!!!! This sort of gift is really unheard of, and even the Regional Director was amazed. I am still in blissful shock that God has opened a door for me to walk through. He is good, and He is in control!
I still have some additional money to raise, but this is a tremendous help and blessing. Please praise God with me for how He intervenes on behalf of His children!!!
Thank You Jesus!
Wow! What fabulous news!We are so excited for you. So what are we praying for next??
