God moves mountains - by Paul

During our visit to the Agape Restoration Centre (ARC) yesterday, I was struck by the immensity of the operation and the resources required to make it happen. Secure buildings, counselors, teachers, communications, and much more... all brought together because God heard the terrifying cries of the girls in Cambodia, and broke the hearts of his followers all over the world. God move a big mountains to make it happen.

It was hard to connect the images of girls playing in this place, the laughing, the cheerfull greetings, the smiling faces with the stories I read in "Terrify No More". The distance between these two images seems to be so great that only God could have breached the gap and make the transition happen. He moves mountains.

Clayton told me that for a while ARC had the renovation of Rahab's House on the list of projects that needed to be done, but it kept dropping below the line of "Need to do" projects into the "Would be nice to do, but don't have the funds to do it now" list. God moved a mountain when he broke our hearts in January to commit our resources to this project, and through his bountiful goodness raised sufficient funds and talent to take this project further than originally anticipated.

God loves moving mountains, and it was a real priviledge to see first hand the work of his hands in the lives of the girls.
