Collection multiplied in the bag.
The Lord works in mysterious and wonderful ways as experienced by members of Trinity Community Centre on many occasions back in the days when the Church was located in Jalan Maarof, Bangsar. He intervenes especially when His children are at the end of their tether with no other source of help except Him, often at the very last minute. Here is one testimony of God's faithfulness.
It was the Chinese New Year season and the church attendance was poor (about 40?). Moreover, the church had to settle the last installment of payment for the purchase of the building the following week, failing which it would be subjected to a penalty clause which would set the church finance back quite a bit. The amount needed to satisfy the owners of the building was quite a sum. Still, we proceeded to take the collection after committing the problem to the Lord.
By faith after the collection, Pastor Collin prayed over the bag and then asked a relatively new member to count the amount before the congregation there and then. Imagine the incredible moment when Pastor announced the sum which amounted to what was needed for the building PLUS an extra of RM 68,000! (Later, it was discovered that the lawyers fees amounted to exactly RM68,000.) |
