One day him and his wife, Cindy heard the voice of God telling them he needed to ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ท๐ผ๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐ฏ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐..But with no money or knowledge in how to start a business they sought out help, partners and loans.

They heard God say that HE would be the only partner involved in their business.
As they visited yet another space, the rent and deposit was too high and way out of their budget.
But a few minutes after leaving, Irving got a call from the owner asking him a personal question about his faith, โ๐๐ณ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข ๐๐ฉ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ข๐ฏ? ๐๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ข ๐ต๐ณ๐ถ๐ฆ ๐๐ฉ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ข๐ฏ?โ.
Irving let the owner know that he was in fact Christian and his family attended church every Sunday and were even volunteer Sunday school teachers.

Irving went on to tell him their story and how although they did not have much money they had a promise from God and they continued to trust Him.
So the owner said "๐๐ค๐ ๐ฉ๐ค๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ก๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐จ๐ค ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐๐ฉ, ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ก๐ค๐ฌ๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ข๐ค๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ฉ, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ง๐ฎ ๐๐๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ข๐๐ฉ๐จ, ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ก๐๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ค๐ง๐ง๐ค๐ฌ ๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐ง 30 ๐๐๐ฎ๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐จ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฃ. ๐๐๐ฎ ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ค๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐ข๐ค๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ค๐ฅ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐ค๐ข๐ค๐ง๐ง๐ค๐ฌ".
And just like that after not having anything from one day to another they now had an established business. They were so excited to witness God keep his promise.
As they set up to open wondering how they would pay for the rent. Customers started arriving even before their opening date and by the end of that day they had collected the total of the rent they had to pay for that month.
