One of my biggest concern when I decided to participate in Wycliffe's Orlando Summer Internship was the financial aspect. I was looking for a paid summer job, so that I can sustain myself throughout the summer, and also hopefully earn enough to pay for college. But clearly, the Lord has other things in mind for me. So here I am, committing myself to an internship, that is not only unpaid, but for which I also have to raise my own funds. Yet, little did I know about the blessings that God has in store for me.

I began this journey carrying on my shoulders the financial burden that I myself have attached to this internship. Partnership development, a.k.a. fund-raising... it sounds neither fun nor interesting. However, along the way, I have come to realise that I have been setting my eyes on the wrong object all this while. I looked ahead and saw $3,500 looming in the distance, but I did not realise that at the same time, I have been treading on the path of God's grace.

The Lord has promised that if I cast all my cares upon Him, He will sustain me (Psalm 55:22). How silly of me to have doubted the provision of the One who has created the Heavens and the earth! The rewarding and exciting part of this partnership development is not to have money pouring in from sponsors, but to learn to put my trust in the Lord God, and seeing Him multiply the 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread to feed my malnourished faith.
