God's heartbeat for mission - another testimony

We want to praise the Lord for a young church plant in Buffalo NY that just partnered with us in bringing the gospel to the Philippines. The pastor is a wonderful man that was recently ordained to the ministry. The church is young and may be small in numbers but not in faith and heart. There is a fire for God and for missions there that wont soon be quenched. He is working full time and holding services on Sunday and Wednesday. He has seen God already do incredible things in the establishment of the church and this testimony is no different. He contacted me and shared the story of how they were burdened about beginning to support some missionaries and that to do that, it might mean foregoing the rental space that they use for the Wed service. They felt they could meet in a home on Wed and just rent the space on Sunday in order to support missions for now. The Lord blessed this missions heart by orchestrating that they get the same space they have been using on Wed night free now as long as they keep renting it on Sunday. Praise the Lord. We are excited to hear what God continues to do in that work and the relationship that we have with them in the gospel ministry.
