From Pastor Roger - Let them build Me a sanctuary ...Chapter 3 "We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history." CET 204.1 A quick review of miracles - Every building site we looked at was beyond our budget. But God found this site, which not only met our budget and space needs, it came ready-made with a traffic signal.
- We need dirt. $600,000 worth of dirt, which God provided for less than 1% of that cost after a special prayer meeting.
- With only 5 minutes left before Maranatha pulled the plug on our project, Pastor VJ called from the County offices, with permit in hand. Thanks to the intervention of Elmer Armstrong's neighbor (and God!) the nearly two-year permit process was finally over.
- There was no direct connection to the sewer line on St. Johns Road. We were going to have to go through one of our neighbor's properties. A providential encounter led to a mutually beneficial arrangement with a new subdivision that brought in money.
- Before we put up all the sheetrock, everyone was invited to go to the space where they would be most involved and write their favorite Bible verse or promise.
This is a church full of promises — promises fulfilled, promises being fulfilled, and promises soon to be fulfilled. Please search your hearts and see what God has promised you as you partner with Him. Donations to help with the mortgage payments should be marked on the tithe envelop on the line labeled "Building Fund". If you would like to make a major gift to help pay off the mortgages, the parking lot loan currently has a balance of $448,000 and the church loan currently has a balance of $1,668,000. Donations of $50,000 or more allow us to pay down the balance of the small loan and reduce our monthly payments. Malachi 3:10-12 "...'Test me in this,' says the LORD Almighty, 'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,' says the LORD Almighty. 'Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,' says the LORD Almighty." | | What's happening >Sign up for the Gardening Club.
