Here is a throwback post from 2014:
While serving at the Ministry Table at Jubilee, an elderly gentleman came up to the table with three children. “My name is Robert* and these are my three grandchildren. Can you tell me about camp this summer?”
I reached for a camp brochure and began to explain the various options that the children had. The more I explained, the sadder he looked. Sensing there was a problem, I inquired, “Are finances a problem?”
Robert explained, “These grandchildren are my life. I have custody of them. I really want to send them here this summer for camp, but I can’t afford this on my Social Security income.”
I explained about our Campership Fund. “But, they won’t approve me! Not with three kids to send!” It was exciting to share with him that we have never had to turn a child away. God always provides for every need. I was able to introduce him to our camp registrar so she could assist him.
When he came back to me after registering the children for camp, he grabbed one of my hands in both of his and with tears streaming down his face said, “Thank you for your help today! You’ve just made my entire summer! I believe God sent me here today for a reason. I prayed that there would be a way I could do something special for these kids and God answered that prayer for me today! Bless you all!”
It’s moments like these that show others just how powerful God is! He prayed and God answered! Many people find themselves in similar situations like Robert, but how many take the time to take their needs and concerns to God? Have you trusted God today to provide for your needs?
