OurMinistry

It all began when I lost my job two weeks before Christmas without warning or reason. At that time I was a Christian and knew God but would soon know how little I did know about Him. I did as any normal person would. I searched high and low for a job when jobs just were not there. After some offers and many many prayers I soon began to learn that there was a feeling that had not been there before. A feeling that soon led to a dream. A Dream literally. I dreamed of a Horse mailbox in which I had never seen anything like. It was the most significant dream I had ever dreamed and the only thing that stood out in the dream was the Horse Mailbox. So the next day I shared it with my wife. She said she was going to Walmart and I asked her to get me a mailbox if she could find one for a reasonable price. At this time we did not have much money but I knew and felt that I had to do it. She came home with a mailbox. I took it out to our then just little barn and only a jig saw and some screws and I went to work. I soon came up with a horse mailbox. With the finished product in hand I came into our home where my wife and children were watching TV. They looked at it and said WOW, That is very nice. I said now we have to figure out what to do with it. I worked with a farrier so I could learn the trade to do our own horses. So when I went with him I took along our new creation. It sold pretty good. Everyone loved the idea and so we sold quite a few. Well not knowing what would soon be a small business I asked God. What do I do with this and the answer seemed not to come. After fasting and praying it soon became evident. I was on the computer and thought well maybe I should take a look at E-bay. So I did and saw some mailboxes on there and so I asked the Lord if that is what I was to do? That answer came quick as I felt in my spirit that He led me to E-bay to begin with. So I listed a few. Not knowing what to expect and not having any tools to accomadate many orders I began to pray not for tools but if I was doing the right thing for Him to provide me the things I would need. I soon started getting tools left and right. I would come up on just phonominal deals and sometimes they were even gifts. Soon I had more tools that I knew what to do with. He had truly provided everything we would need to prepare us for what was about to happen. We sold a few on E-bay and had a ton of requests for differents designs. We began to design whatever our customers wanted. Still not quite enough to make a living I prayed "Lord I don't know what to do. I am at a stopping point and do not know where to take it from here. I need your guidance and wisdom Lord. I pray if this is what I am to do now that you show me the way. If not Lord then what ever it is I am supposed to do then just show me." Well that was a prayer that He answered very quick and directly. He told me specifically and personally. "Build A Website" I said Ok Lord but how???? No answer this time. So I set out to what would soon prove to be a disaster. After 100's of hours we finally came up with something. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I was beat my wife was beat and needless to say we were both feeling a little down. You see all the HTML code and programs needed were just litterally killing us as neither of us had any Education on Web Design or HTML code. I kept Faith that we were on the right track and knew that God would show us when He was ready. Then a few weeks down the road I was working in the yard and it became very clear. He put this upon me. "I am going to provide you the same tools as I did for you to build them. Now I am going to provide you the tools for the Website and from there you will use it to help with your ministry." I was flabergasted. Now I was truly overwhelmed. I had no idea what was in store for me at all. The very same hour I immediately got onto the computer and connected to the World Wide Web. As soon as I connected ther it was. A pain in the neck, what we all hate to see, bothersome, irritating and down right aggrevating thing happened. A Pop Up Window appeared. It said "Complete web site designing tools and web hosting available. Everything you need to start your own business." Well I had seen a million of these by now and had the mouse over the close button and I heard in my spirit. Don't Close this one out. So I stopped, Clicked the site and would build our web site the way God had promised just an Hour ago. So my Beautiful wife in which the Lord blessed me with has basic knowledge of the computer and enjoys doing different things on the computer. But what was simple for her was still unconceivable for me. So She began to work with me on the basics and I soon was able to take it and run with it. You see God truly does bless us. He sent me a wife with brains cause he knew I had little! I love her and dedicate my life to trying to give her what she so truly deserves. Well back to our story. We built our site and things started to go very well. But the search engines were not picking us up. What do we do now???? So we once again went to God and asked for His advice. "God we have built the site and now we are trying to reach the world but it is really expensive and we do not have the resources to go forth. We know you will provide with all of our hearts. We just want to make sure this is what you want us to do before we do it." The next day a company out of Washington State called us. It was a web site promoting company. We do not know how they got our number nor did we ever ask. We just said "Message heard loud and clear Lord" Now we were going to truly be where God wanted us to be. We had done what we were led to do. But we still needed to know what He meant by we would run our ministry with the help of our website. So we just kept on going. Sales went very well and we now have over 300 designs along with 4 other affilliate websites that carry our products. But still did not know how our Ministry would evolve. Well today it became clear. We are going to run a world wide Ministry for the Poor. All donations will go 100% in check form to families around the world. You see God has blessed us with a living. So we have no need for any cut backs or percentages on the dollar. If you donate a dollar then that dollar will go entirely to a family. We will pay the postage out of our pockets. Today in our Church "The Lords Table of Goldsboro NC" I felt a moving on my spirit for big changes coming and to get ready. We were on our way home and I told my wife what I felt and right at that moment The Lord spoke to me and said. "I have many in need and I am going to provide you with the tools and resources to help them." This day of 02-15-2004. We will reasearch and find families in need from our Church to the Missionaries all around the world. The monies will be sent directly to the families in need. We are a true non profit organization and 5% of all sales of our business will go towards the Ministry as well. Every dollar donated goes to these families and nothing else. If this is something that that God puts on your heart to contribute to then please contact us. Thank you and God Bless you and your family as He has ours. We will be adding additional information soon.
