Well, hello there, elusive blog followers!
It’s Rachel here, Elliott’s wife.
As Elliott pointed out, I will now be joining alongside him in ministry to college students. I have to admit, it was a huge step of faith, but God takes seriously the “Here-am-I” prayer. Although I was initially fearful of support-raising and our unknown finances, God suddenly showed up with the “peace that surpasses understanding.” You can read more about this “jump of foolishness” here, at my personal blog.
So what’s on the schedule this week? Support-raising! I have been so nourished by the encouragement of the saints! Although not everyone has been able to pledge to give monthly, we have been supported through prayer and love. The thing I love the most about support raising is the opportunity to connect and reconnect with people we would not normally have the time to see.
Our culture is a very independent, task-centered society. Our lives revolve around the immediate, and leaves no time to dwell in the periphery. Well, support-raising allows us to dwell and linger in the periphery. I love the relationships we are forming and maintaining, and look forward to see how God will provide for us in miraculous ways that point directly to His power!
Waiting upon the Lord,
Rachel
