God-incidences

I previously posted a picture of the bookcases in the lobby that contains first edition New Testaments which have been worked on by folks associated with SIL International and/or Wycliffe (https://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2019/04/bible-translation.html).

This past week, on one of the days when I was volunteering at the Welcome Desk, Barb from Archives came to shelve some of the printed books that had not yet been put into the bookcase.

Barb coming with the new New Testaments to shelve... God provided that a couple of ladders would be there (the IT folks were pulling cable above the ceiling tiles).

Barb placing a New Testament while Vanay looks on...

Another one placed...

About then, one of the new volunteers on campus, Doug, came in. He was interested in what was going on, and Vanay showed him one of the new New Testaments. Doug was **so** excited (can you see the blur of his finger as he is pointing and explaining?)...

He went on to explain to Vanay (and Barb and me) that, when he first heard of Wycliffe Bible Translators, it was from a man who came to speak at the college church where he and Joy were attending. The man went on to the Philippines to do early language survey work with the people group about whom he had shared and Doug had heard. Now, after the work of multiple teams have been invested, there is a finished New Testament for this people group!!!

It "just happened" that Barb brought this particular New Testament this week, and it "just happened" that Doug was walking through the lobby when she was shelving, and it "just happened" that the translation that was instrumental in Doug's interest in Wycliffe was being placed when Doug was there!!! Is that not a God-incidence?!?!?!?

Barb was able to complete her task of shelving, while we all rejoiced in what God has done!

Dallas area friends - we can always use volunteer help on campus!
RVing friends - there's an RV park on campus where volunteers can stay at a reduced rate...
Wouldn't you like to come here and volunteer?!?!? Then you can see what God-incidences God has planned for you!
