Closing in on building!

Just wanted to give everyone an update as to where we are in regards to a potential building. To say the least it has been an eventful journey. We began over a year ago meeting in the local park for worship services. Then, we began meeting in the Hampton Inn Conference Center and quickly out grew the facility. From there we met at David's Catfish House (which was really a great location) until the economy forced them to open on Sunday's. We went briefly to house groups, and for the past several months we have met in our home.

Since we have started from ground zero Christ Life has had to rebuild financially and numerically. It has really been a challenge...a walk of faith...and at times a challenge to my faith. But, after a year of patiently waiting we are seeing some movement. A building has come available that would be within budget providing a few things can work out.

The main part being that we had set a goal of having $7500 in hand to work with before committing to a building. We are only about one third of the way to that amount. I guess you can help us if you feel it in your heart. But, my main reason for this communication is for those who have informed me that they are still part of Christ Life, and have not felt comfortable in our very uncomfortable setting. Just wanted to let you know we are presenting the owner of the building with three different options. If we can all get on the same page we should be in a building by the end of Novemeber.

Please pray God will guide and continue to give us wisdom. Laurie and I have no problem with everyone meeting in our home, but today as I taught people were actually laying under the table listening to the message.

Our plan is to enter the building...have video worship via Lifechurch.tv and my message. We will have youth services during another time. We are starting simple...very basic...we have to rebuild the base. I hope everyone will rejoin our fellowship once we are established in a building. If you have any questions or would like to donate money, supplies, or time please contact me.

That's great news Bro. I really believe God is going to do something awesome through Christ Life Church. I encourage everyone to remain faithful to God. If we are faithful to God, He will be faithful to us. You are a great leader and pastor, and you still have a strong leadership team with Dewayne, Tony and Justin. Mine and Martha's prayers continue. We love you Bro.
