How many does it take to get a mission church going? MANY MANY PEOPLE!  We have been so lessed, from day  one until now three months later, to have had so many willing people to come volunteer and help us get off the ground. This work hasn’t been been accomplished by one person – it’s taken a multitude of volunteers who have given countless hours in hard work to get the building in shape, things repaired and working, food collected, event needs moved, set up and then served and cleaned up and returned to the building.  This is an ACTIVE church!  Thanks so much to all of those in the Life House Church Family who give countless hours of hard labor, money and items to help this ministry. THANK YOU sister churches and fellow christians who have given time, money, donations of items and ect to help us get off the ground and help us to reach out to this community.  Because of each person’s hard work (and it continues even today – as we are in full swing getting walls up, painted and things decorated and ready for open house and launch day) this ministry is AHEAD of SCHEDULE! AMEN! PRAISE THE LORD FOR IT ALL! 

How many does it take? – It’s taken countless numbers of people so far…and the good news is that it will continue to take countless people to do the work of the ministry of Life House Church. We will never rest. We can’t afford to sit down and take it easy – Jesus is coming soon!  We can’t afford to sit on a pew and just soak up the services. No sitting on the premises — just stand and work on the promises of God!! If you are looking for a “status quo” church – don’t visit us. If you are searching for a church that you can “move your membership to” and just “fill a pew” (in our case a chair) -then don’t come to Life House. We have upfront expectations (4 of them) for anyone who prayerfully decides to join our church family. If you are searching for a church that you can just sit in — keep looking!  If you are searching for a church that you can pour your heart into, one that you can give some time, touch some people, reach the hurting, lift up the fallen, pray with the downtrodden, see souls saved — WELCOME TO LIFE HOUSE!  There is room for you!  

Many who read my blogs are members of some great churches out there. Thanks for praying for this work. Thanks for your support. Keep on praying and know as one of your Southern Baptist Mission Churches – we appreciate all you have done and are doing to help this work get off the ground.  Thanks again. Now get up and get busy — Jesus is coming soon!  Pastor James
