I love to see the body of Christ at work. Living and working at a Christian ministry full time we get to see God orchestrate His plan and work in peoples lives on a daily basis. If we take the time to slow down and look we can all see God at work everyday.
Last year hay prices went through the roof. We were paying over $7.00 a bail at times. We need around 3,000 bales each year to feed Camp Living Waters horses. We are always looking for hay. This past winter I had a friend approach me from Mount Hope UB Church and said that they have a field that is not being used and that their small group from church wanted to plant and bail hay and give it to camp. There was a slight problem no one in the small group had equipment to mow, rake and bail the hay. They sought out local people to help with their project and bailed around 450-500 bails of hay. Then came the next challenge, moving 500 bails of hay from Carson City, Michigan to Camp Living Waters. I prayed and God put our friends from Kilpatrick Church on my mind. I called and asked if they would have trailers we could use to haul hay. A little while later I got a call that they had 3 trucks and trailers and 8 guys to come and help load and unload the hay. Everyone working on this project donated their time, talents and treasure to make this happen. It was all about honoring God and being good stewards of what he entrusts us with.
God took one man's idea and brought over 20 people together to provide hay for horses that will help over 80 campers this summer grow closer to God. While freeing up $3,500 of God's money to keep prices down so more campers can come to Camp Living Waters.
So, if you feel God nudging you to do something and you start to doubt you can make it happen. Move forward share your dream and your needs, and God will provide what you need to reach your dream.
