On Saturday, as we were preparing our second newsletter mailing for the Liberia Mission Trip, an amazing thing happened. We met an older gentleman, probably in his upper 70s, and we were telling him about our desire to serve the orphans of Africa. We talked to the man (whom we had just met) for probably 5 minutes.
15 minutes later, this man walked up to Brooke and handed her something. It was some money to go towards our mission trip. She looked down at the wad of money and saw a $100 dollar bill! We graciously thanked the kind man. It’s really difficult to know how to respond when a total stranger hears your story and then unapologetically hands you money, only saying “when God tells you to do something, you do it.”
Later that night, on our way home, we took the hundred dollar bill out of our pocket, only to realize that there wasn’t just one bill….there were FIVE one-hundred dollar bills!
Wow.
A older man, whom we just met, just gave us $500 cash towards our Liberia Mission Trip.
That left us speechless.
Tears of gratitude seem like the only fitting expression.
This process is incredibly humbling.
