Kristen in Ecuador: Living in God's Provision

God's provision. It's something that we talk about, something we've read about, but honestly, something that I have rarely experienced. Growing up in a fairly comfortable life, in a responsible home, I honestly never really had to look to God to provide many things. Don't get me wrong--I always knew they were God's blessings and was so thankful for them. However, it's a different situation when you KNOW that something only exists through God's provision. That is something that I have experienced lately. Throughout this entire school year at HOH Christian Academy, we have been a little shorthanded. We have had to make changes and adjustments all year long, and just about the time that we are feeling like we are getting on our feet, we find out that two (out of three) of our fluent English speakers suddenly have to go to the States for the rest of the school year. As soon as I heard this, I began to pray hard that God would provide for us somehow, however He saw fit. Then the people started pouring in. First came Deisy, a fluent English speaker who couldn't find work in Quito. Second came Enrique, a volunteer who wanted to practice his English. Next was Jill, a beautiful girl with a heart for God that has an awesome story of how God worked to bring her down here so quickly. Last, but certainly not least, arrive four college summer interns (Chelsea, Casey, Hannah, and Sean) to live in the Hacienda and help us in the school. Wow, how God has provided for us, and so much more!! This extra help really makes a huge difference for these students, since this is their only shot at this school year. Thank you to all of those who have been in prayer for this project, and I ask specifically for prayers for this upcoming school year, that God would provide the school with the teachers it needs. Praise be to God!
