Today, as Adan and I pack up and prepare to leave Washington and Idaho for the magnificent Midwest, I count my blessings as to how God has blessed this project, even before reaching Ohio:
- Emily Rose (MVA class of 2012) and the Stillwater SDA Church (Dayton, Ohio) that graciously offered to donate books to the MVA Devotional Book Library
- Alden Thompson's WWU Sabbath School class that donated approximately $500 of devotional books to MVA
- Paul Torchia, MVA's chaplain, with his leadership and willingness to let us come in and work with him to make MVA a spiritually nurturing environment
- Dan Kittle, MVA's principal, with his amazing leadership and willingness to let us to come in and work with him to make MVA a better place
- The incredible staff and faculty at MVA
- The awesome prayer support from MVA alumni and staff, Ohio church members and MVA constituents, WWU students and staff, Camp Sunset Lake Staff, and others all across the nation
- The amazing willingness of people like Adan Rodarte (WWU student) and Ricky Woodruff (MVA class of 2009) to step in and lead in making this project a reality, and, in the case of Adan, being willing to fly all the way from Idaho to volunteer his time to serve MVA
- God and the way He has lead in making this project come together piece by piece
"Nothing is impossible with God. Every good and perfect gift is from above."
(Luke 1:37 and James 1:17)
Aaah, this is all so cool! I'm happy that everything is working out so well, and I can't wait to come in September and see how I can help! WAIT WAIT WAIT, does this mean that Adan is with you in Ohio now? If so, HI ADAN THANKS FOR BEING LANCE'S FRIEND.
ReplyDeleteYes, Adan is here. I showed him what I could of the campus in the dark tonight. Tomorrow we head in and start talking with faculty and staff about what needs to happen.
