When life gives you lemons...

It was a Thursday morning and I got a call from a Trip Director or the mission trip to Toronto. The group was scheduled to leave 48 hours later on a Saturday morning.

"Steve, I'm in a bit of a crisis. The group who we were going to work with in Toronto just called and told us that they don't need us anymore."

"What you mean? Do they know that we have 9 women who have been planning on going to Toronto to do service work for months and have paid a lot of money to do this?"

"Yeah, there is nothing they can do."

The Trip Director and I spent all day Thursday and half of Friday calling every non-profit in the Toronto area looking for volunteer opportunities for 9 women to fill up 2 1/2 weeks. After dozens of phone calls, we were able to get enough work to fill their time in Toronto.

I do not know why this happened. I do feel, however, that the Lord is going to dramatically change someone's life out of this. The group gets back on the 28th of July and I am excited to hear the stories of the trip and all hey encountered!
