Hosting visiting groups this summer was a joy for our staff. Glorifying God by sharing the ministry’s progress and partners with the team was an immense privilege and a reminder of the Lord’s provision over the past 12 years.<\/p>

George Muller famously said,<\/p>

“God is pleased continually to vary His mode of dealing with us, in order that we may not be tempted to trust in donors, or in circumstances, but in Him alone, and to keep our eye fixed upon Him.”<\/p>

This scenario has been true of Empowering Action as well. We thank the Lord for His varying means of sustaining EA, particularly your prayer and financial partnership, and keep our eyes focused on Christ, remembering the words of King David in Psalm 37:5, “Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.<\/p>

Spurgeon said of this passage,<\/p>

“The ploughman sows and harrows, and then leaves the harvest to God. What can he do else? He cannot cover the heavens with clouds, or command the rain, or bring forth the sun or create the dew. He does well to leave the whole matter with God; and so to all of us it is truest wisdom, having obediently trusted in God, to leave results in his hands, and expect a blessed issue.”<\/p>

And so we leave EA’s continued spiritual protection and financial provision with Him, who can do what we cannot.<\/p>

Finally, Carey and I appreciate your prayers as we grieve the reality of today sending our Molly off to her last first day of school.<\/p>
