It's the start of a new week and a new month. Karen and I have spent the past month volunteering at The Great Passion Play and have had a variety of ministry and personal experiences which have impacted us tremendously. The past week was a tough one for all of us. There have been a host of health issues, accidents, broken equipment, and other challenges, three volunteer couples leaving for other obligations and a four-performance week with less than encouraging attendance. I'm sitting in the Emmaus house on TGPP set looking out at the empty 4000 seat amphitheater after returning from church in Cassville, MO. The other day while walking the amphitheater to sweep it for the next performance I found $21 on the ground. The next day on the same sweep, I found $.07 and yesterday while picking up a bruised body after having an accident on the Zubota riding mower, I found $.26. Today while walking to open the gate to come down on the set I found a $20 bill lying on the ground. "Found money" has always gone into a jar at home to be donated to The Alpha Center, a Christian Pro-life counseling agency. The money I find now goes to this Passion Play outreach ministry. Every cent counts and I praise God for how He gives to us, that we may give to others. It may only be $41.33, but we serve a God who provides and multiplies, and can, and does, provide beyond anything we can pray for or imagine.
Karen and I have been drawn to this ministry and we pray continuously that people will fill the seats, support the vision to reach this area for Jesus Christ and encourage donors and sponsors to step forward with the funds and materials needed to prosper TGPP and bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to northwest Arkansas, southwest Missouri and beyond that to this whole country and even the world. We serve a Great God and when we ask, seek and knock with expectant faith, we will see our prayers answered and indeed know that are prayers are already answered. $41.33 tells me so. Praise The Lord.
