"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21
This verse has certainly been proven over and over to our team. God has certainly done exceedingly and abundantly more than we could have ever imagined! The generosity of people that donated items for our auction at Chick-Fil-A was so overwhelming, there was no physical way we could have displayed it all. The Texas team members had done an online auction via Facebook, so we took our cue from them and used all the extra items we were unable to have at our Chick-Fil-A night for a silent auction on Facebook as well.
We had about 25 items up for auction with items varying from various gift cards to football tickets to original artwork. Every penny went straight to benefit our mission trip.
The Raleigh team gathered together at Cindy's home and spent the afternoon taking pictures and uploading each item to our Facebook event. It was so exciting as the evening went on to see all the bids people were posting! It was a great way to allow people to be involved in our mission trip that might not have been able to otherwise.
Through each fundraising event we have been able to do, God just blows me away. I like to think He is smiling up there and laughing saying "Courtney, why do you think I would call you to this and then not provide for you. Trust me!" I am daily in awe of all He has provided our team, and I am thankful for all the friends and family that He has used to do so.
