Spain | Divine Provision in the Nick of Time
Novo’s missionary care branch, SentWell, is located in Malaga, Spain. Two years ago the team felt led to purchase a property that would enable them to better care for missionaries in crisis who come to them for healing, and also host trainings and retreats to keep them healthy in the first place (both essential to keeping missionaries on the field long-term). They would need to raise 1,500,000€ (more than 1.6 million dollars), which felt like an impossibly large goal. But they jumped into the steep fundraising campaign, and God provided over and over, more than they could ask or imagine.
The last payment for the property was due on July 1, 2023. About a week before the deadline, they still had $150,000 to raise. They watched as one gift after another came in. But the day before the deadline they still needed $74,444. The team continued to pray. They gathered together on a Zoom call to all pray together, and the team leader Alex Galloway started off by reading an email he’d just received: Dear Alex, we hope that you and your family are well. We are happy to let you know that our board has approved a second grant for the La Morada project, in the amount of $75,000.00. We pray along with you that other donors will provide the remaining funds that you need.
The exact amount needed was provided the day before the deadline! The SentWell team was overcome with joy at what the Lord had done. He had raised all the money needed in just 18 months! This facility is already serving as a blessing to many missionaries around the world, and all the glory goes to God for his guidance and provision.
