| | Our church has reached a pivotal moment. We have been homeless for 2 years now. All the while, we have been striving to occupy our new building, a building that we where renting. But the building needed to be first cleared out and then renovated. The clearing out went smooth enough but nothing else since has. Now, we are not led by sight. We prayed about the location and felt the Lord lead us in this direction. But two years later, our financial resources are used up and we are asking the Lord what to do. I feel (and the church agrees) that God is leading us to drop the building and remain homeless for a while more. Personally, I feel a great peace with this. I do not want to push our people into a finical straight jacket. I will not pester our people about the church finances. We have much more important things with which to concern ourselves. Furthermore, we are excited about the prospects of what we can do with our resources if they are freed up. To this point we have been using at least 90% of our resources on building related costs. Now we can use them for outreach support and development, missions, charitable works, etc. Yeah, we are excited. The last two years have taught us that we do not NEED and building. We would like a building some day. But for now we can do what we are called to do without one. In fact, we are pretty sure we can do even better without one.
So that is where we are. Homeless and happy. Looking forward to the things we can get into now that our eyes are off the building and onto our calling. |
