Watching God Work…
Since we began Life House Church & Ministries it has been so amazing to watch God work in so many ways. He has provided for this new church in so many ways. We have seen Him provide a building, furniture, copier, computers, paint, building materials and money to get started. He continued to provide by giving us a great “mother church” – (Shiloh Baptist Church -Texarkana, AR – Pastor Todd Reed). They have been so encouraging by not only putting the new church plant in their budget, but also by praying, working and being available to help us out. We continue to see God’s hand as He brings people into our lives who are seeking a church like Life House or even bringing people into our lives who want to “help” in some way. We received news today that a local business is making a contribution to help us, a local church is adding us to their monthly budget and becoming a partner church and our local association is going to help us prayerfully and finacially also.
Other blessings are that even though we have not yet “LAUNCHED” the new church we are seeing people come, call or ask questions about the new work. God is putting this church together one puzzle piece at a time. We know God is in this new work. We know He has plans to use this new church to reach souls. We believe that we are going to see souls saved, lives changed, children rescued and a great church come about for His glory. Life House won’t be like a traditional church. It will be much different. It’s time for us to get away from form and fashion and invest our lives in the lives of those who need a Savior. As the old hymn says we are to “Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, snatch them in pity from sin and the grave. Weep over the erring one, lift up the fallen, tell them of Jesus the mighty to save. Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save. “
Thank you Lord for all you are doing. Thank you for doing what we can’t. Help the Life House Family to have open hearts and arms and be ready and willing to reach out to all we come in contact with and share Jesus with them. Praise you for all you have done and all you are going to do!
We haven’t seen anything yet — keep praying and keep watching – God is gonna do some great thing in the near furture at Life House! Pastor James
