Every year I start a new journal, with a new theme, to record the events of my ministry. This year, I pasted the image above on the cover of my new 2025 journal. I had just committed to a new project to build and furnish a new church in Kenya. Since I had organized several projects before, I was starting to believe that I had exhausted my own available resources, as well as those I thought I could raise from my friends and acquaintances. I thought it might help me stay focused on the possibilities that only faith can produce.
Here it is May, half-way through the new year, and this newest project is almost completely funded - a new stone, fully furnished, St. Veronica Church in rural Kenya in west Africa thanks to a few generous benefactors and some of my retirement funds! I am so very close to the finish line now! I am only $8,450 away from finally finishing this entire project - inside and out. I believe that even this last amount will show up somehow because Jesus was right, "With faith, even mountains can be moved!" Just like the poor parishioners of St. Veronica Parish in Kenya, I consider this project a "miracle" as well! This "miracle" will serve to remind me throughout 2025 "Not to be moved by how impossible things look!"
