Jesus had to be born in Bethlehem. How did Mary get there? She didn’t need to strive and fight to fulfill this particular part of the prophecy; it turns out that there was a government census and EVERYONE needed to travel. It also just so happens that her fiancee's family was from Bethlehem.
God didn’t tell Mary that she needed to find a way to get to Bethlehem; it just happened. God was orchestrating His plans in His ways. Be extremely careful to do things HIS way or you will find yourself using so much effort on things He hasn’t called you to do!
Also, trust that the Lord will bring around the right people at the right time. I have neither the time, not the energy, nor the strength to find the kind of partnerships we need in the US to put the ministry on solid financial footing. But I don’t need to - God has told me many things but that I need to be spending more time trying to find donors isn’t one of them. I need to trust that God will bring the right people at the right time, and that he is calling someone else to carry this standard.
