We, the Faith Family, have been presented with another glorious opportunity to participate in a miracle of God’s provision. We get to experience some of the wonder and joy of the newly liberated Children of Israel who were so excited about being a part of what God was doing that they joyfully and hilariously gave of their limited resources to see God’s work accomplished. (Exodus 35) We get to breathe just a little of the air that David and his people inhaled as they were presented with a special opportunity to redirect significant amounts of their personal finances to make it possible to accomplish an enormous task of resourcing the work the Lord was declaring. They were so jazzed by their experience that they could not be restrained in their over-the-top worship celebration after the giving. (1 Chronicles 29)

So I wanted to personally thank EACH of you for accepting the challenge of prayerfully considering how the Lord would allow YOU to share in the “Building Faith” project with you TIME, your TALENT, and your TREASURE. All that the Lord has required of us is that we set aside time to listen to His voice of direction. When we understand what He is saying specifically to each of us and our family, then we are simply to do it. Whatever it is. Whatever it looks like. Whatever it takes.

So, thanks for your taking part in the work the Lord is presently calling the Faith Family to do. Thanks for taking time to talk together as a family. Thanks for not just “knee-jerk” responding, but for taking time to pray, to listen, to confirm, and then to obey. God IS doing an amazing work among us of rescuing lost souls, establishing them in their walk with Him, revealing His unique plans and gifting in them, and calling us out into our square mile to shine as lights of hope in the presence of the hopeless! Lives ARE being transformed day after day through the gracious work the Lord is doing among us. Thanks SO much for being an integral and faithful part of HIS work!

See you Sunday, Church!
