NEW CHURCH BUILDING

Our last meeting place did not have heat, and after a "frozen" Sunday where space heaters didnt provide enough heat - we prayed and the first place we looked at (we knew it was the best that was available) was the perfect fit in every way.  It is just steps from the main boulevard (very visible) and even looks like a little church.  It is attached to a larger banquet facility.  We have heat, and a team of people from the church went in right away and built a stage, projection wall, and coffee bar !
We pray that more than anything, peoples hearts would find Jesus in this place and that we would shine them outside of it so that more will want to come to Him.
We will have official dedication dates on December 17 and 24 - please pray for friends and relatives to be drawn to come hear the Gospel and fellowship.
There will be a special Christmas Eve service and we have use of the building 24/7 and can leave our equipment there and entrust its protection to the Lord .  Glory to God.

She and her team have been working with the youth group and doing discipleship classes with the local church; 7 children made commitments to follow Jesus and were baptized !
