There a few guys that I've met with as much integrity as Jerry Burnaman. He is a missions director, and essentially my boss. And he is one of those guys that I will credit for making my ministry possible. He continually goes to bat for guys like me, church planters that want to make a difference in people's lives. He has invested his time and money in developing me, providing all the resources we need to be successful.
I'd take a bullet for him. I'd step in front of a moving bus for him. He's just one of those guys that has committed his life to others like me, that I wouldn't think twice about it.
He called today, just to find out how things are going. He asked how Erika's doing. And then he mentioned that they would take care of our deductible for the new baby. There are few times where I'm taken aback, where I'm rendered speechless. I just mumbled thank you. I don't get too emotional either, but I felt like crying.
God has been blessing us through many people lately. I thank God for people like Jerry.

man...there is almost nothing that confirms that you're in the right place, doing the right thing, when things fall together like that...when God just does the things he does to show his love for us...through the way he uses his people to minister to us in ways we wouldn't have thought of asking. great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you and Erika! What a financial relief. God has definately taken care of all of us since we moved here!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, what a relief that is! It's so AMAZING and refreshing to see how God works through people, especially when it's not through your family, but through someone (or people) you wouldn't necessarily expect it from.
ReplyDeleteYou are both so giving and I am so happy for you for this wonderful gift you are receiving! :o)
