After a very entertaining first "faith promise offering" provision, we did not have a faith promise offering in June, though in July and August, God has again surprised us. This summer, I've had the opportunity to preach in various local churches, including speaking one Sunday at the PTC. as our church offers pulpit supply to congregations in our local region. One of those honorariums we decided to give as our July faith promise.
As we were planning for our vacation, it became apparent that we should purchase small cargo/utility trailer, probably 4X6, to transport my wheelchair. We shopped around and the lowest price we could find was $2700. As our departure date approached on Wednesday we had talked and researched lots, but not actually purchased anything. Another connection led me to call our friend Paul Nigh (also the PCAS board chair) and he thought he might be able to access one for us, even to rent for a couple weeks. However, the one he thought might be available was not but he just "happened" to be at the UFA in Red Deer on Thursday and while waiting, looked through their retail lot and found the perfect trailer... for just under $2000. He phoned me and I told him to buy it and when he delivered it to our house we paid him back. But not only was the price a great deal, it was a perfect match to our car in terms of colour. So our August "faith promise" will be a gift to the Lord's work from the amount saved on this purchase.
