I have not been posting very often to any of my blogs. Frankly, the past five months have been very unsettling, beginning in April when our ministry finances were turned upside down. We have not received a check from TFC since March, when we got a check to reimburse us for our February ministry expenses.
Since that March check God, through many wonderful individuals and churches, has miraculously provided for our personal needs plus covered our ministry expenses. Praise the Lord! We believe God has affirmed to us each month that he wants us to serve at the chapel in Elkton.
We fully expected this month to be authorized to resume being able to submit our monthly ministry expenses for reimbursement. Unfortunately, this latest expense submission was again denied. And, as before, we were not informed that it had been denied. Margaret found out that it had been denied after the expected check did not arrive and she called to find out what the delay was.
In my mind I keep coming back to Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians 14:33, "For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints." (NKJV)
This entire process has been incredibly draining, distracting, and disheartening! Our personal relationship with TFC has been strained to the breaking point on more than one occasion.
Please continue to keep us in prayer. Our only desire is for us to be in God's will.
In His name,
Chaplain Sam Houchins
