Praise Report for March

The Yard Sale today went very well as God had His Hand on it. I made it a point to also give free material through the Voice of the Martyrs (Special Issues from 2011 and “Blanket and Bible” trifold) to everyone who bought something.
It was God Who invited those who drove and stopped by to buy something. I had the opportunity to share about how the profits from the sale fundraise for an upcoming Missions Trip, and as well give to World Missions.
I also had the opportunity to share about the Gospel with a few individuals. One lady in particular is a neighbor of mine across the street and lives in a dysfunctional home life, making her home difficult to reach. But oddly enough, she out of her own volition chose to walk down the street, introduced herself, and actually bought much of what I had to put up.
At one point she even helped me hang clothes.
I told her about my desire to help pastors in other countries where being a Christian is illegal.
Later in the afternoon she came back to purchase more, and gave me a bag full of Bibles. I asked her, “Why are you giving me all these Bibles? Shouldn’t you read the Bible also?”
She wanted me to send those Bibles to those who have need of them.
She responded with her rough voice, “I got four Bibles of my own already.”
I told her, “The Word of God is timeless and it is good for me, and it is good for you.”
She said with a degree of annoyance, yet still with some appreciation, “I know. I know.”

It was God Who raised $54.62 in today’s sale!
And as I wish to keep my Covenant with God about raising the money to go on Missions, I will divide the profits the ministries as I promised. And I will keep a portion of the sales made today to put toward the trip to India.
I was able to sell the Enemie Skate Board, the same one I posted on Saturday, February 25. However, it only sold for $10.00, nevertheless as promised 100% of that money will go toward Gospel for Asia.
Another $10.47 will go to the work of Win All for Christ.
$13.65 will go help an undisclosed family in my home church as they are seeking to adopt.
This leaves me with $20.50 to raise funds on my travel to India.

As the Spring Season is just beginning, I wish to continue fundraising, not only for my benefit, but for other workers in the Kingdom. And I look forward to continue sharing the Gospel in my community.
