Trails End

A few weeks ago I went into a business on South Treadaway. Ricky, the man behind the counter said, “I have wanting to talk to you, tell me about the Trails End.” Seems folks in Lawn were talking about it and knew of our involvement. What a blessing it was to be able to share the journey God is taking us on. It occurred to me in telling our story how initially we had thoughts and ideas of how this would look, how it would run and what the outcome of it would be. How with our plan in mind, hours of operation posted through out Buffalo Gap, we sat down on the porch and waited for customers. By the end of the third week disillusioned and still waiting for the first person we were ready for plan B--except we didn‘t have a plan B. What we had was Anay’s health restored and the Carrillo’s to share the next six months with us was a much needed place to live. Could they help us establish the Trails End while we partner with them in seeking a new place for their church was the big question. To tell the truth, we were skeptical at best. But here is what we handed the Carrillos---The Trails End had no master plan, it was not to be a church ministry, it was to simply be people helping people. Then how the community sees the Carrillo’s pouring out their hearts into this it became contagious---many give who can’t afford to give---We see over and over the widow’s mite being offered---Not just money, but giving of self for the sake of others---It is infectious this offering for the sake of others--The hungry come to be fed, while others who hunger spiritually come to be fed--God turns this upside down; having started with us ministering to people in Mexico, now people from Mexico are ministering to us. Today we are on a new beginning seeking God’s will as we go forth. Praise be to God.
