God leads us to a church


February 5


 

  A pastor in Connecticut gives us a couple’s name to look up when we arrive
in Sarasota, Fl. We lose the note. Weeks later a Sarasota attorney tells me he and his wife are helping people start a church.  He hands me a calling card for South Shore Community Church with a map on the back.

The next Sunday after the service we meet Bob and Anne Gamble and become friends. That summer in Connecticut our pastor friend as if we met that couple. "We lost your note," we confess. The Pastor writes the name again, “Bob and Anne Gamble.”
God gave us a name, then a calling card with a map to find His church. We have been serving that church now for 19 years this week.

 "In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:6)
