It's Rising Up!

With the current state of the global economy and the challenges of rising prices, many of us are thankful these days for employment.  A steady job and the opportunity to work and earn a paycheck is something we sometimes take for granted.

Several skilled laborers are working diligently to build the facility that will be our first permanent "home".  We are grateful for these people who are using their time and talents to bring this dream to life.  We are also thankful that we are able to provide an opportunity for these folks to support their families through gainful employment.

Take a moment today to pray for these folks.  Although it's doubtful that you know them by name, God knows them; and their hands are guiding into place the pieces of a building that will allow us to "bring up there down here".  We are fully committed to the vision God has given us to reach people who have been unaffected by traditional churches and guide them to become fully devoted followers of Christ.  We believe that this structure will allow us to reach further, deeper and wider - and to continue to do exactly what God has called us to do.

Your prayers matter.  Your voice matters.  Your contributions matter.

As I pulled in the lot this morning, I found myself cheering out loud in the car!  What an awesome sight!

The cross continues to stand firmly where it was planted when we broke ground.  This is a constant reminder of why we are devoting ourselves to this mission, and Who we live for.

"Servants, do what you're told by your earthly masters. And don't just do the minimum that will get you by. Do your best. Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you'll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you're serving is Christ."  Colossians 3.23-24  The Message
