We spent the first day meeting people and talking about the ministry and selling a few pieces. The next day we got to sit in on a session and worship with Christy Nockels. It was so powerful, what a voice and heart of worship she has!
At the end of the day before we headed home, we decided to count the money that we had raised. We were so excited to see how much we and to give Project Rescue. Before we counted, we praised God for opening doors. As we counted the money, we praised God for his provision. After we finished counting, we screamed and rejoiced for God's blessing and goodness. We had raised... drumroll please.... $1,115 to donate to help the women that were rescued my Project Rescue receive shelter, clothing, food, and an education. God is soooo good!
We won't lie, this weekend called for a lot of caffeine! |
In addition to Women of Purpose, Inspire was asked to do a live painting at Glad Tidings, a church in Reading PA. It was to celebrate the CD release concert that they had that night for their new album Our Song Will Rise! It was fantastic and the worship was so authentic and beautiful. The worship team did a great job, as well as all the behind the scenes work done by the staff. This weekend just reminded us how wonderful God is and how great community is when we're all striving to see the same things happen.
