It has grown to 50 and another young man who visited today decided this is the church he is looking for.

This is the fourth young man in 6 months to find our church because one of our member is active in inviting people to church. the main thing they see is we teach the word and we are not into all the crazy charismatic stuff they are used to seeing here.

Well our church building is starting to over flow it can only hold 50, when we have visitors some members are left standing outside or in the back. We are praying for a new place but right now with the financial crunch hitting everyone we don't have the funds.

the area the church and Sunday school is occupying is for our garage, storage, my office and some dorm rooms. If we could get $20,000 to build a new Garage area we could use it for the church until we are able to purchase property up on the highway. the garage plans I have proposed could hold up to 100 people.

I could not buy an empty lot on the highway for anything less than $700,000 in the good locations.

Pray that if the Lord tarries we could either build our garage to use for the church or purchase a lot on the highway.
Ps 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Ps 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Ps 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Ps 37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

Chette, if land goes to 7 million out on the highway, He will make a way for you. For His glory do you work, for His glory He will make a way for you. We decrease while He increases. He knows more about what you need than you do yourself. Be aptient and keep both hands on the plow. Our land is in heavenly places, but while we work for His glory, He will provide for you. The God of all good deserves all the glory, for His glory He will make a way for you. Wait on Him, let Him do His work, he will make a way for you.

Grace and peace to you and all of you
