Are you amazed at how often God sends just the right SOWERs to just the right project at just the right time? Here's an email from the director of Camp Utmost (MT-386) that was received by a SOWER couple months after they had been there -
Greetings from Camp Utmost where the water in bathrooms flows without leaks! I couldn't help but think of SOWERS as we did a reverse order of turning on the bathroom water system and what a great feeling to have everything work perfectly. Thank you so much for everything SOWERS did last fall and for blessing us so greatly. The bathrooms will always be on our minds because of the shock of so many leaks this time of year last year.
Here's an amazing part of the story. When the insurance cut us a check for the repairs, they gave us over $10,000 beyond the cost, knowing full well all the labor was volunteer. The adjuster told me it would have cost the insurance company that much to have it fixed professionally which is what our insurance covers so we should receive the benefit for doing it as we did. Praise God and what an added blessing all the volunteers were to us! Our winter activities had us constantly over running the capacity of the dorm for lodging this year and we really wanted to fully winterize some of our cabins to handle the overflow so with that money we are able to finish two of them. That is one of several projects we've been able to add to our list.
Anyway, hope all is well with you as you get going on your summer travels and ministry. If you are in the area, please stop by and we will continue praying for the SOWERS ministry.
We look at the map, we pray for direction, and we choose our projects. Or so we think! Thankfully, we have a Heavenly Father who REALLY does the choosing!
The mind of man plans his way,
But the LORD directs his steps.
Proverbs 16:9
