In the past week I have had several considerable contributions toward God's ministry in Vienna. I am now very happy to say I have half of my monthly support raised. On Wednesday I went to a service in Indianapolis with my former pastor. It was great getting to see them and getting to see the little church they're building. It's little now because they have a congregation of 50 but they have already put a plan in place to put a larger building on the land and have the current building that is going up be a working building for another ministry.
I also had some friends who wanted to sow into missions and I was the lucky recipient.
And the final straw over the 50% mark came from a last minute service I booked for a church that is functioning without a pastor right now. They have a ministry that is working with them sending in preachers and they went ahead and brought me in. For a little flock they have big hearts and gave more than I really imagined possible for a congregation of 13. I wanted to hug every one of them and thank them profusely and then lead them in a little 50% celebration dance. I'm fairly sure at some point in there the line of professionalism would have been crossed. I wish they had taught us these things at my prefield orientation way back in June.
On Wednesday I also had three more services scheduled for the upcoming two months. It makes my schedule a little hectic but I'm really thrilled with it.
