FREEDOM! This past December Christine and I paid the last payment on my student loan. With that payment we marked a new chapter in our lives of freedom! We have NO debt!!! We are totally excited.
I need to testify that this was made possible because of God’s great provision. I remember two specific times, in our preparation to come to the mission field, when I was praying/worrying about our students loans, a voice told me “I will take care of you! Do not be afraid!”
Both of those time I knew that this was reassurance from the Lord. In keeping with His promise, a few years ago six families from our sponsoring church (Homewood Church of Christ, Birmingham, AL) gave us a generous gift to finish off these loans.
They had asked me if we had any special needs and at that time our remaining debt was on my heart. We wanted to completely finish off our loans by the end of our time in Togo, but just couldn’t do it. I told them what I could do in the next two years AND THEY RESPONDED BY MAKING UP FOR THE REST! Praise God!
Christine and I just cried and cried when they presented us with the check. God came true on his promise by providing through these generous hearts!
We put the gift towards our student loans and began to diligently pay down what was left. As of December 31, 2006, we are FINISHED! Praise God, for He truly is the great provider!
