As a Missionary on the foreign field in Mexico, my life has been a life of giving. Giving the gospel message of Jesus out to the people of Mexico but also living a life of faith, through giving and trusting God to provide.
One Christmas, my wife Lynn and I were visiting her family in Brownsville, Texas and we had gone out for a meal with her brother and sister-in-law. As we were talking around the table about the ministry and all that God was doing, Bobby (Lynn’s brother, who also is in the ministry) shared that they were going through a hard month. Right then the Lord spoke to me and said, “Give him your Rolex watch and tell him to sell it and pay for all their urgent needs.” Now let me tell you that this Rolex watch was given to me as a gift and I wasn’t wearing it then, but had it locked up in a cabinet. So, because Lynn and I also had ministry needs during this Christmas season, I asked the Lord. “Can I sell it and give him an offering and then we both can pay for our needs.” But the Lord repeated what He said in the beginning. So, we all returned to Lynn’s Mom’s house, and I gave Bobby the watch and he quickly sold it, and their urgent needs were taken care of through this miracle for them.
So, the next morning Lynn and our boys returned to Mexico still needing a miracle for us. We had just unpacked the car and there was a knock at the door. I opened the door and a woman said, “are you Bobby Crow?” Then she said, “my husband and I wanted to give you this” and she handed me a brown paper sack. I stood there having no idea who this woman was, and it all happened so fast that I watched as she and her husband drove away, and I was thinking; “I have no idea who that was!” I came in the house and Lynn asked me who was the woman and what did she want. I told her what happened and that I had no idea who she was. So, I’m still holding the brown paper bag and we looked in and there was CASH! IN FACT, $6500. ONE OF OUR GREAT MIRACLES ON THE MISSION FIELD! I SOWED BOUNTIFULLY AND IN ONE DAY GOT A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST! GOD IS FAITHFUL!
“But this I say: He who sows sparingly will reap sparingly, and
he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." II Corinthians 9:6
P.S. TO THIS DAY WE STILL DON’T KNOW WHO THE GIVERS WERE! DON’T YOU KNOW THEY GOT A HARVEST!!!!
