We began fundraising for a tractor back in 2006. It may not
seem like a very big need, but we were plowing our 24 acres of land with a
bullock cart and wooden plow and were dreaming of leveling land and starting
construction. We began sharing the need and looking at tractors. Our prayers have
continued all these years as have watched the price of tractors increase
rapidly.
My daughter, A, who was 4 at the time, began to pray daily
during meals times for the tractor. I began to wonder if she would ever see the
tractor she was praying for. When Titus Women was started it inspired her to
start making glass bead earrings to sell to raise money for the tractor.
She
would work for hours on them daily and even hung them on her bedroom door for
people to see and purchase to raise money for the tractor. Still to this day
she has them on her door. In 2010 she also began to make India necklaces. Her
faith inspired me when I felt like giving up. She also inspired others to give
to this need.
One of my relatives sends in money monthly for “Abigail’s Tractor
Fund.” Another youth group got on board and did a fundraiser to help her out.
Last year we had money donated to buy a bulldozer and half of the money for a
tractor. This week we finally bought the tractor for the campus development and
maintenance!
THANK YOU for giving to this need. Thanks for not giving up, and I
am thankful for a child who has taught me to keep on in faith. May you be inspired today for what you are
holding out in faith for!
“I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of
the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.” Ps. 27:13,14
