God's Favor Through Friends

This ministry in Cape Town is wonderfully supported by friends and family in the United States and here too in South Africa. Today, thanks to my friend Amelia seen in this picture, I took possession of a chest freezer which will make it easier for me to cook and store healthy food for my class. Amelia too is a missionary here in her home country. Called by God, she left her work as a banker to help feed the homeless and destitute in the communities around her. Thanks to her, Evangeline is included in the food donated by the local food stores and this has helped me hugely to make it here. When I first expressed a desire for a small freezer I was amazed when Amelia said she would try to raise the funds for it, but I should not have been at all surprised since I have seen her faith go to work many times to meet ministry needs here. So thank you so much Amelia we all say. And as if it were not enough, Evangeline also received a big gift of sewing materials and small equipment from a man who closed out his sewing store. I see all of this as God's favor, unmerited and undeserved blessing from the gracious hand of a Heavenly Father and I am humbled and enormously grateful.
