This past weekend in Osage Beach, Missouri, God showed up in a powerful way, as over 500 people came together to grow in their marriages! Seven people (that we know of) prayed to received Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives! It was awesome! And what was such an added bonus was the stories that got these people to Osage Beach in the first place. One through the selling of a violin!

A couple wanted their friends to come to the conference and offered to pay their way. However, after offering, the husband lost his job and they were afraid that they could no longer pay to get their friends to the conference. They remembered, though, that they owned a violin that was no longer in use. A buyer came along and they sold it and got enough money to pay their friend's way to the conference. Their friend prayed to receive Christ as Savior and Lord of his life on Sunday morning.

God is intimately acquainted with all of our ways (Psalm 139) and cares for us so deeply. He orders our steps (Psalm 37:23) to get us right where we need to be to accept Him. And He does abundantly more than we could ever ask or imagine, when we simply listen for His voice and follow in obedience (Ephesians 3:20).

Praise our great God!
