this happened yesterday

I was walking on the sidewalk from the Harambee Prep School side to my office on the corner. A woman was driving by in a van. She screeched a greeting out the window, pulled over the van, jumped out of the vehicle, and hurried over to me. She hugged me, said it’s been a long time, then pulled out her checkbook and started writing. She stopped and said, “The Lord told me to come up here, but he didn’t say who I should write the check to,” she confessed. “I’ll write it wherever you say, Rudy. Do you and Kafi have a need?” I checked myself. “Write it to Harambee,” I said. “I’ll show my staff the check and tell them what happened here right now.” Ok, she said. And that’s what happened.

Oh, it was a thousand bucks.

    Maybe that same woman came down to Los Robles today. Someone anonymously dropped off $100 for any unexpected expenses for our coming baby. It is much needed and following prayer for provision!

    Dont dismiss the angel angle. I recall a story years ago of someone in ministry in a tight financial spot. They were driving home after a hard day. While waiting at a light, a jogger knocked on the window of the car (it was dead of winter), and said “this is from the Lord.” He gave them an envelope with about a thousand bucks in it. When they looked up to thank him, he was nowhere to be found.

    The Lord works in mysterious ways….

    That’s encouraging! The faith walk can be a weary one sometimes.
