Interestingly, one of my long-term goals had been child sponsorship, and it was during my recovery that I had the joy of sponsoring Jovany Christelle Ringui through Project Hope and Charité.
I have seen the barometer of my generosity rise and fall—a reliable indicator of whether I am trusting myself more than God at any given time. I can look back at the little I had that stretched far; now, I need to focus on using the resources He has entrusted to me in a way that glorifies Him.
Even in difficult times when there is only half a penny or a little bread left to share, if it is given with complete trust, it is more than enough for Him to accomplish His purposes in us.
We encourage you to prayerfully consider taking a step of faith by adopting an orphan through Project Hope and Charité or a Bible student family through The Timothy Project. More information is available through www.gbim.org/ministries.

…a Journey of Trust by Anna Boze
May the God of peace … equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 13:20-21).
My journey toward trusting God with my finances began with His provision: the gift of redemption and everything needed for living according to His will. Through every unexpected turn, I see evidence of His mercy and faithfulness because His purposes are always higher than my own.Tough experiences often demonstrate God’s faithfulness more clearly than when everything appears to make sense. Four years ago, I began losing weight rapidly without any clear explanation. The process of seeking a diagnosis and completing treatment took over a year. I left a summer job to return home for medical tests and so suffered financial setbacks. Through it all, every need was met.
