God willing, I will have several meetings today: Johana at 7:30am, logistics at 9:00, Christiane at 11:00, and the Klassen family at 12:30.
That last meeting is unique, because it’s a direct answer to prayer. When my colleague and I began to work on our organizational structure, we realized a key piece was missing in the area of administration. So we wrote up a job description on the SIM personnel system and posted it. And we prayed. I got so desperate one day I got on my knees (amazing that I had to be driven there) and said “Lord, please, I really need an administrator.”
Then less than a month later, the Klassen family came out of nowhere. They have three years of experience working in South Sudan and really want to work in administration! So, this husband-wife duo are joining us in February 2010. I don’t think they even knew we were looking for them. God definitely heard our prayers.
This morning I read something Phillip Yancey wrote: “And I readily confess that I tend to view prayer through a skeptic’s lens, obsessing more about unanswered prayers than rejoicing over answered ones.” It is an enormous blessing when God answers – and He allows us to see it. Thanks God for answering my prayer about an administrator.
