So yesterday us staff were meeting with 4 individual students who are on the DTS to tell them that we needed to buy the plane tickets for our outreach today as the prices were going up and we leave in two weeks. In order to buy the tickets we needed $1,700 from each person. We had it from most the group but 4 people had either no money towards it or a very little amount.
So we asked them to pray and speak with friends and family and if they got the money by the evening then we could book their tickets too.
By the time it was Dinner 2 girls had pretty much all the money for the tickets which was incredible they had people calling them to donate and others just sending donations and pledges on line. Some were gifts from Students to Students too which was amazing to see the love between the group. Another student had about half the amount needed and one girl had none!
Another student had no pennies at all, She also earlier in the week had to go and try and get a passport as she hadn't one due to some difficult circumstances but for a month or so it has looked as if it would be a really hard process to get the passport, but on Tuesday this week she walked in with a passport!! Oh we were so excited and screaming too!! It was amazing to see this happen for her!!
After this hurdle was jumped, i knew the money would be the easier part. Anyway by 8pm that night she still had no money we prayed again and then someone walks up to her and says they will give her $500 then someone else donates a $100 then someone else $250 this was within 30mins!! We were crying haa haa and so amazed at how God had provided and was continuing to provide!!
We then got some annymos donations and could use that for the flights so that night we were up to midnight buying the whole teams flights all the way to mexico City and Rio De Janiro Brazil!!
We were laughing all night and so thankful to God's provision for our team!!
