Whirlwind

The last few days have been amazing as God is clearly at work. It all started the week before with a number of conversations I had with people. We began to pray about location and provision for our ministry to flow in and take some steps of faith.


Monday our staff met together, Drew, Ashley and I continued to talk about the things we were working on and the need for favor in finances and in general for the ministry. Monday night I met with two gentlemen who made a commitment to us to fund a major project within the city that we had a been looking to move forward in. The commitment was for a year. Details will follow soon.


Yesterday we had an amazing outreach at Hawkins St. I will share more about that tomorrow on the blog. As we were finishing up there I had to leave to head to a meeting I had scheduled to meet with a friend who runs a Canada wide ministry from here in the city. We had talked about partnering together on things in the future and I wanted him to be aware of what we were doing.


I shared my enthusiasm about what He was doing. My friend got very excited about what I was sharing and said that he needed to bring another person into the discussion. In just a short time another person who has a passion for the same things Boaz has sat down with us. He was amazed at what we were doing and said he wanted to get on board. He asked about what our greatest needs were and I told him about housing and more permanent drop in locations.
Well to make a long story short, the second gentleman made a phone call to a high ranking government official and Ashley and I meet with him this morning. God is opening up doors to talk with not only our city officials but this time with provincial officials. We are truly excited to share the Boaz ministry and our desire and ability to meet the needs of our housing communities in a all encompassing way.


Pray for us, that we can clearly share our hearts and how the government might be able to play a role in helping us to attain properties/spaces that we require. Stay tuned I will let you know how it goes.
