I got to be a part of an amazing meeting this week. Recently, our church body had come to an end as people were leaving the church, and then the elders stepped down. Normally, this wouldn’t be a sign to rejoice, but in this case it led to incredible blessings. Over the past 6 months, we’ve been working to sell the building because it was free and clear. We got a buyer, closed, and this week we met to distribute $420,000.
Have you ever given away $420,000 to bless ministry? Yeah, it’s pretty rare. I mean, think of how good you feel when you give your kids something as simple as Speed Racer gifts, High School Musical jewelry, or some other toy. Now, multiply that good feeling by about 400,000. I mean, it’s incredible.
What I am most excited about is that we were able to bless a local ministry that has been a huge part of our life with $100,000. We’re giving this to Southeast Cincinnati Young Life to carry on the work of spreading the gospel to adolescents for years to come. Plus, I’ve convinced the delivery of this gift to be in a form of a big check, which is going to be priceless. Got the idea from Michael Scott. God is good, and this is a moment to celebrate his abundance.
