November 10, 2011, was payday for our fourteen employees. We needed 37,476 lempiras; our bank balance was only 26,767 lempiras. Then, I remembered we had 4,000 lempiras left over from car repairs. Now, we were short $354.
I called our finance person in Oklahoma to see if perhaps donations had arrived. A check for $300 had arrived the day before; now, we were short only $54. The very next morning, I learned a check for $50 had come in. We had all but $5.16; we could manage the $5.
However, there's a little more to the story. Next day, Nicholas and I went to San Pedro to do our banking. When we were ready to come home, we were almost out of gas and $5.16 won't buy enough to make the trip. Neither of us said anything, but I think we were both thinking the same thing: "How are we going to get home?" We were driving through our old neighborhood when Nicholas got a call. It was Nelson, our computer teacher. He had just collected 5,500 lempiras from his students for their tuition and wanted to know what to do it. You can probably guess. We borrowed 5,000 from payroll and bought gas. God is good and His timing is perfect!
This "Answer" journal comes from a list of 25 pages of answers to our prayers I began recording at least as far back as 2008. They are reminders which serve to strengthen our faith, and bless others.
That is why I say, every Believer striving to know God, will experience these same kind of miracle answers from time to time. Believers should record the answers and be prepared to share them. This will be an encouragement for both their faith and other's faith as well.
