It started well before Catalyst West but this story is about that conference and how God blessed us while we were there and the subsequent blessings. My wife and I while attending this Catalyst saw some things that we would love to have for our ministry. Of course being the poor (financially speaking) church leaders that we are we couldn't afford these things. We noticed that many booths were giving away iPads. We had been really wanting an iPad and decided to sign up at all the booths that were giving them away.
There was one booth in particular that caught our eye. They were giving out the iPad but they were also giving away the brand new Francis Chan curriculum, some children's curriculum, and some worship music as well in their drawing. We said to each other how great it would be to win that particular contest.
We also passed the Project 7 booth. Project 7 is a booth that sells coffee to churches and individuals on a monthly subscription basis. It is a ministry to help people, their mission, "You buy, we give." They too were having a drawing, for a year's subscription for coffee. We were actually standing there trying to decide if we should purchase a years subscription for the church, but alas, back to the poor thing again.
Fast forward to about a week ago. Tonya gets an email announcing that she is a winner of the iPad, Francis Chan curriculum, children's curriculum, and worship music!
Fast forward to two days ago. I get a call from Project 7 that I was a winner of a year's subscription of coffee!
We left Catalyst just thinking that someone else won the prizes, which never really gets us down because of the number of people we were in the drawing with, only to find out a month or so later we were both winners. God is good. He knows we need these things for the church and He is providing. He is also writing a pretty good story.
