In Everything Give Thanks!!
Well our first Friend Day is over and we didn’t make it to 100 but we DID have one adult lady saved! We did see some new faces and the service went great. We experienced alot of sickness this morning (two out of three of our musicians were home sick) and one was called into work and others gone. Am I somewhat dissapointed that we didn’t hit the number? Yes. Am I discouraged, down and giving up? NO! A THOUSAND TIMES NO! In mission work it’s all about growth and stability. Growth comes slowly and stability is something you teach and the mission grows into. We are only 7 months old and great things have happened all of the way. How can anyone be DOWN or DISCOURAGED when a soul gets saved? Praise the LORD!!!!
Also, two weeks ago our church family walked on the lot next door, prayed over it and claimed it. If all goes as planned I will be paying for that lot tomorrow or Tuesday. GOD HAS SENT EVERY LAST PENNY NEEDED TO PAY FOR IT IN FULL —– ABOVE our tithes and offerings!!!! PRAISE THE LORD! God just keeps blessing and we just keep rejoicing.
Pray for the mission. Pray for stability, growth and for souls to be saved. Tomorrow night is our Thanksgiving service and we will be taking 25 or more Thanksgiving boxes – complete with Turkeys to several NEEDY (not greedy) families in our target area. Pray that Life House can be a blessing to them this Thanksgiving season.
It’s great to serve a loving and mighty God! Praise Him, thank Him and rejoice in Him for all He’s done! Pastor James
