Paving the Way for a Financial Miracle

Aaron and Sabrina were running a farm and raising their family in rural Wyoming. Then in 2016, their wheat crop was nearly wiped out by an agricultural disease called rust.

“If I was a conventional farmer you could spray,” Aaron told us.  “But I’m 100% organic and there's virtually nothing you can do for it. I figured we weren't going to have a crop at all.”

The couple relied on a good harvest to keep their bills paid and food on the table.  With a failing cash crop, they needed a miracle. 

“I'd walk the fields almost every day to see if I could see anything forming and I didn't so I got real discouraged,” said Aaron.  “In my mind I'm scrambling: ‘what am I going to do?’  Because that's all my income and it's looking like I ain't going to have any. It crossed my mind that I'd have to have my wife go back to work.  I was thinking I might have to pick up extra work as well,” he remembered.

Yet despite their financial worries the couple refused to stop tithing to their church.

“I needed to stay faithful to him by obeying his commands,” said Aaron.  “And I believe that one of his commands was to tithe and to be a faithful tither.  Even through last year, that never crossed my mind to stop tithing or short tithing…any of that. There was no doubt about it, I was going to continue tithing regardless” Aaron said with a firm resolve.

They also kept giving to their favorite ministry, The 700 Club.

“Jesus instructed us to go out into the world and spread the word about him.  And, I can't do that – because I'm a farmer – all my time is here,” he said with a smile.  “But how I can do that is through The 700 Club.”

Aaron’s wife, Sabrina told us about her favorite CBN ministry: cleft palate surgeries.  “You see all the different things that they do, the surgeries for the cleft palates; you know those things are just so amazing to me.”

One Sunday, they went to church and quietly took a seat in the back row.

“All of a sudden the pastor stops the worship service.  And he says, ‘I'd like to have Aaron and Sabrina come up front.’  So I look at Bree like ‘What in the world?’  So we go up front and he says, ‘the Holy Spirit just told me whatever you guys are dealing with, something huge, that he's got your back and he's going to take care of it.  So just keep your eyes on him.’  I just knew at that moment that, you know, God had my back and we were – we were going to be all right, one way or another we were going to be all right,” Aaron told us.

Then later, when the wheat was ready for harvest Aaron checked the field one last time…

“And I walked out there in that wheat and I pulled up that head and that head was full of kernels from bottom to top,” Aaron remembered.  “Looking at that, I hate to say in disbelief, I knew we were good, but yet it was – it's nothing short of a miracle, to be honest.”

Not only was it a great harvest, it was one of the largest and highest quality wheat crops in the area, earning top dollar for them.

“It had to have been a miracle cause it wasn't supposed to happen,” said Sabrina.  “It's God's grace.  It's the only way that that wheat would have produced what it did.”

“I know that God is always waiting to bless us, through the tough times He will not fail you.  And last year was the ultimate test,” said Aaron.

“If you're struggling, it doesn't mean that God left you.  He's still there,” said Sabrina.  “He's just waiting for you to rely on him and trust that he knows what's best.”
