Edith Schaeffer writes about how she and her husband, Francis Schaeffer, came to begin L'Abri Fellowship, a community where people can come and wrestle with their questions about God and spirituality.
One of the hallmarks of this community is that Edith and Francis aren't official missionaries and don't receive traditional financial support. They also don't advertise their needs widely or ask for funds. Instead, they pray and trust God to provide for their needs - and He has.
As with other accounts of God's provision, this was an incredibly encouraging read. Something that really struck me is that they also prayed for God to keep people away, those people who would only be taking advantage of the free accommodation near a skiing area (they are in Switzerland), and not actually interested in spiritual matters.
"If God exists, He is the One with infinite intelligence, infinite wisdom, infinite knowledge, infinite judgment. He would know how to plan a work, how to use lives, beyond any human being. We felt then that it would be possible to place our individual lives, and our 'work' of the future, into His planning. We felt it would be possible for Him to communicate day by day, week by week, month by month, this plan of His to us." p 127… (plus d'informations)
