Unexpected Help

A member of my church asked for my help submitting an online application for her son to attend a popular citywide activity camp program. The program is free, the children have planned activities and games, and meals are provided. I was with her all morning, assisting and advising her on which documents to upload and how to do each step. Unfortunately, her son’s application was not accepted. She had really wanted her son to attend the camp, because she is a single mother and her son would truly enjoy it. We prayed and waited.

Later that afternoon, someone in a group chat that I’m a part of offered up a spot at the camp. It came as a great surprise to me since the online sign-up process was already closed. But he explained that because he was a state employee, he was offered a certain number of slots. He had an extra one available for anyone who wanted it. Our prayer from earlier was answered quickly in a way that was almost impossible to believe. I was blessed to be able to connect these two people. Thanks be to our God who listens to our concerns and works for our good.
