Matthew 7:7-11

Our prayer has been that our Road to Italy would be a work of God and not a work of man. We humbly acknowledge that task we have been called to is too big for us and without Him we can do nothing.

Startup costs are expensive. Prayer cards, brochures, letterhead, missionary table, mailings, the list just goes on. Startup costs are expensive! On top of that, I really want to visit a missionary to Italy while he is in the states and the best time for me would be when he is in San Francisco. Flights to San Francisco are well...yeah...expensive.

We have really made it my prayer lately that God would provide for these things and show Himself strong on our behalf. Just the other day I was in a conversation with a brother in Christ regarding him joining a ministry when out of the blue he states that he has a ton of frequent flyer miles and was "just wondering" if I wanted a free flight anywhere. When God is in it, flights to San Francisco can be...well…free!

This may seem little to others, but was a great reminder to me that God desires for us to be in Italy and is going to provide! Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of Lights with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning!

You had told me when discussing God's smuggler that your prayer is that God would do things in just that way - without asking for it and having God provide exactly - GLORY TO GOD!
That is awesome and I rejoice with you!

Amen Aaron! Asking to supply rather than asking man gives God an opportunity to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think!
