ZACH'S FINANCIAL TESTIMONY (GOD WANTING TO DO IT AGAIN STORY)

So this past March I was fresh out of college with a bachelor's degree and a bunch of debt. I was working as an intern at a large advertising agency in Minneapolis, while keeping my roots with my church family at Jubilee in St. Cloud. I didn't know what I was really going to do after college other than stay connected with my family, spiritual and natural, and I was planning on getting a job related to my degree in graphic design. God gave me a lot of favor at my internship and when I was nearing the end of the three month internship position I was offered a job. Now to anybody who goes to four years of college and not two months out of school gets a job offer to a nationally recognized agency, it's not necessarily "no big deal." So this new graduate was kind of offered a dream job, with fun people, a promising career future, and financial security... but God. But God had my heart and I knew living in Minneapolis and working there would be too difficult to adequately be apart of my church in St. Cloud. So I turned down the agency job to move out to St. Cloud not knowing what I would be doing. I moved out to St. Cloud and had been applying for jobs with no responses. I had roofed the previous summer with two amazing business owners who had become real friends who were also apart of Jubilee and offered me work for the summer until I get a job. So I was roofing and still looking for a job not knowing what I would be doing when my housing situation would be changing in six months. So one sunday we had a man come to our church to minister who is a sort of father over our church and walks in a prophetic ministry. He usually ministers by bringing a message and throughout the message stopping to call people out of the congregation with a prophetic word for them, and for whatever reason I knew I had a word coming that morning. So he finished the leader's meeting ministry time and then during our congregation's worship service it was nearing the end and I was starting to think, "OK God it's got to be soon if he's going to bring me a word." About five minutes later he looked at me and asked me to stand for a word he had for me. He began to speak about continuing my education and how God was going to provide a miracle for continuing my education, along with a few other things. So I left just rocked knowing God spoke something to me that would change the direction in my life. I kind of knew right away He was talking about Master's because I had been involved with Master's and really had a desire in my heart to give 9 months of my life to God, and I saw the fruit coming out of Master's year after year. So I prayed about it and just really felt a peace in my spirit and talked with a few people that I wanted their blessing from and they supported me. So I had some money saved up and was working, but I knew at the rate I was going I would be falling short of the money I needed for tuition. On top of the tuition I also had loan payments that I was going to have to start making payments on. I kept working throughout the summer knowing I was stewarding what God had given me and just keeping my heart and mind on Him believing in the work He spoke that He would provide. So then the monthly payments that I would be making were offered to be paid for by two people who are really dear to me and have always been the people to most believe in me. So just joyed with the love that God provided for me I was excited for Master's to start. So summer was nearing an end and Master's was quickly approaching and I still wouldn't have the money to cover the tuition, so I looked into taking out another loan to help with tuition. I just felt in my heart it wouldn't be out of love to not trust God in providing and applying for a loan for provision and not His word as my paycheck. So I decided against the loan in faith. Then a couple weeks later another person asked to talk with me and they told me that in the beginning of the summer they felt in their heart to donate a weeks worth of pay to me. Another person who is so dear to my heart and has always believed in me more than I thought people could, just showed me the amazing plan that God has for family and unity. They picked the week it would be towards the middle of the summer and after working that week it ended up being their most prosperous week they've worked and told me after the money came in I would have a little over $3,000 coming my way. Praise God! I'd never received any amount of money like this, and God showed up and provided me the miracle of provision that He promised. Coming into Master's I actually had money left over and God provided exceedingly abundantly above what I could ask or think. So now I'm in Master's and God is just changing my life everyday and I get to meet Him a new everyday. I love Jesus!

Sincerely His son,
Zach Hink
