Another Praise Report!

Since taking the current Pastorate, on site since April, vote as Pastor in August a number of things have happened that are note worthy.

We ran about 70 or more when I became unofficially the pastor, after a couple of weeks there was a blow up (nothing to do with me, but I had to handle it) a family that caused tremendous conflict left taking 11 or more with them. A another very large family left as well causing a decline of at least 25% of our church.

As of yesterday we are back above 70 or more people. We have a great outreach program to people with addiction and dysfunctional backgrounds.

Matter of fact in our Friday night recovery meeting we had over 70 mostly unchurched people, wow, I don't know where to begin to start preaching to these folks.

We are going to embark in the coming year going after Faith based grant monies. I might as well try to get some funds so I can do this full time.

We had a number new people receiving prayer yesterday. As well as a powerful move of the spirit.

So God is good to us, things are developing so fast that I have a hard time keeping up with what God is doing.

God Bless, and pray for us we need it.

Re: Another Praise Report!

I taught a Bible Study on Friday Morning to about 8 ladies (Jeanie was with me) I couldn't believe it none of the ladies present had ever heard of the story of the prodigal son. Refreshing to minister to people who absolutely know nothing about God, bible or salvation.

Re: Another Praise Report!

Great! I love to hear testimonies. It is good to know that you are recovering from the "issues" and attendance is back up.

It was quite hairy there for a couple of weeks. But God is good and things are moving forward.
