He is not far from each one of us
Our Fall Festival was a smashing success with upwards of 300 people who came out for food, fun and fellowship this past Friday night. It’s really amazing to see how many people we minister to in any given week. With four services on Sundays and two schools in session five days a week, we don’t see the full impact until everyone comes together for “family get-togethers”! WOW—it’s big and getting’ bigger! There were many people there I had never seen before which just makes it more exciting than ever.
In reflection of this past gathering, the thing that stands out in my mind is the opportunity for the church to “be the church”. Where else could you go on a Friday night these days and have free food, the great outdoors, live music, ole time hayride, a roaring campfire and Smores to boot? Did I mention, all for free? I believe we are going to have more and more opportunities to reach out and bless our community and there’s not a more beautiful place than the 26 acres God has given us!
Would you keep praying over the property? We know He has given it to us and we believe He will supernaturally provide finances to acquire it quickly.
If you’ve not had a chance to see or be on the land, join us on Wednesday nights as we have moved our Wednesday night Recharge Service to the property. We are praying and worshiping on the land and believe God will lead us forward. I share with you a verse the Lord gave us earlier–
Acts 16:26 And He made from one [common origin, one source, one blood] all nations of men to settle on the face of the earth, having definitely determined [their] allotted periods of time and the fixed boundaries of their habitation (their settlements, lands, and abodes),
27 So that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after Him and find Him, although He is not far from each one of us.
Blessings—Ps Joe and Becky
