God has moved us along in very big ways in the past few weeks and we want to thank Him! We have found a hotel to start meeting at, and will be right at Exit 63 of the Long Island Expressway in Holtsville starting in September 2010. Over 70 families have given one week’s rent for the hotel so we can open up for at least a year! Then the following week, Pastor Ayars asked families to consider being a “missionary to Brookhaven” for a year. Close to 25 families and singles stepped out in faith saying that God might be calling them to serve!
I am so humbled to see God’s people responding in faith to support this new mission. Back in August when I was considering God’s call to be the one to start this new church plant, I must admit that while I felt that I had heard God’s call, still being completely honest I sometimes wondered whether I heard correctly. When I saw the overwhelming outpouring of support I just could say “thank you God - you are good, you will supply, and you will use this new church to build your kingdom.”
Remember our prayer bookmark? Well, we’ve now received some answers. Keep praying, but here are some updates:
- Monday - The Launch Team has been called! Pray for God to refine the call and equip the called
- Tuesday - We have the location! Now pray for the neighborhood including the Sachem School District.
- Thursday - We have the initial financial provision! Please pray that there would be continued support to sustain and grow the young church.
