God can do incredible things when we get out of His way and let Him work as He wills. After several weeks of these ongoing Sunday afternoon fundraiser sales, I have witnessed the people rearranging how we set up the church each Sunday, scrubbing the one couch we have in the front, and letting me know where they wanted me to sit now. At the beginning of the after-service fundraiser, children began coming to me with coins in their hands, wanting to buy the bottles of bubbles we had from Donna’s gifts.
Surprisingly, as the auctioning of items for sale began, we also had people coming to the front of the church for prayer! So in the middle of an auction, with children blowing bubbles over the congregation, we had prayer for various needy members: a retarded new mother, an elderly man with a heparin lock (an intravenous access) in the back of his hand, a woman newly recommitted to Christ wanting to be filled with the Holy Spirit, several sick children…
