It's great to see that you and Keith are not limiting the avenues that God can use! God can only do those blow-your-mind things when we really start letting go of those "how it should be" ideas!!!

Amen and AMEN to that!
All of this just sort of happened, and it could not have been anyone else but God.
The old pastors moved out of the parsonage and it was vacant.
We needed to rent it out to generate some income. Well, one of the leaders
has been wanting to run a recovery house, but the church wasn't quite
ready-so we decided to rent the vacant house to a couple who runs many recovery homes in the area-we thought we would watch and learn and eventually take it over-
Well we are renting this house to this other group "Freedom House" with the stipulation that the residents attend our church an attend bible studies.
Then that same couple who runs freedom house, also wanted to use our fellowship hall for NA meetings--that lead to us meeting other folks in the area and for us to hold our first NA meeting.
This whole thing has been God, and now we are seeking to expand the vision and hopefully Keith can go full time!
