Guess what?

The church I attend kind of had the building sold out from under us and so we needed to find a meeting place. Well yesterday we bought this night club and it is so exciting but we are moving into this nightclub. I'm so excited. I love my new home church. It is so good to be there and not have roller coaster or manic/depressive church services. We have fun in our church. Our pastor loves to have fun and yet is totally serious about God and the gospel and our associate pastor is a wise man as well. I love the people and I feel at home here. This was a big move on our part to take over a night club that is still going strong. We are moving in Dec. 1st.

What make you think it was built for a night club anyway?

LOL We are keeping the lights... everything...tables and chairs and everything! It was all in the contract! I am thrilled.

It is almost a brand new building opened a few years ago for the purpose of a night club and is still operating as one. The owner decided to sell our church the building and is going out of business with the night club. Why I think so? It advertises itself as one and that is a good enough reason for me! It was thriving and yet the owner decided he wants to sell and he sold. I am okay with it and in fact excited about it.

I don't understand why would anyone question it after I just got through telling that it was a nightclub in my first post. ???

Simple what man thinks and what Gods plans for the building are not the same thing. He had it put up for a church not a night club.

The Bible college I went to started out as the church buying a nightclub. The nightclub use to close by singing "When the Saints come marching in" and one day they up and came marching in. Now they are all over the world.

Really? I love that story! We are so excited about how it all transpired. The guy who owns the nightclub is even the one who is financing it for us. Is God ever cool or what? How awesome is that? We are going to be paying far less for mortgage payments than we would have been if we had to rent a place this big. It is unbelievable all this man put in the package for the church. It is an incredible joy and with thanksgiving that we will have this building. He is closing his business on November 21st. What a mighty GOD we serve. What blows my mind is that I kept staying away from this church because I thought it was too far away to attend. I was driving about 22 miles one way to church with gasoline around 4.20-4.35 a gallon. I thought I have to be crazy or I really heard from God. I fought this for 3 years with one excuse or another and finally said, 'What is the worst thing that can happen?" I went and finally started feeling the financial crunch with the gasoline, then the gasoline prices started dropping little by little. I still was in a crunch and wanted to take more people to church but thought it was too far to expect them to travel. Then I go to church on that Sunday after I thought I was going to have to look for a church closer and the pastor tells the story along with the associate pastor and a church leader who is pretty saavy on this kind of stuff. The church is down the road less than 15 minutes from home. It is just unbelievable. Not just down the road but in the nightclub where a former individual and friend who sat under my dad as a pastor turned their back on GOD and went to doing things that were unbelievable and she would even admit it to everyone. Now God will be using the nightclub for HIS purposes and I think she will come back to church. I honestly do because of more than one reason. I can't wait to see what GOD is doing with this now. This is fun!

I just reviewed the site. Never heard of the college. I was hoping to read the history and see it in there but I didn't but I believe you.

Ya, I was trying to find it as well, but it was Mrs. Lindsey's favorite story. We graduated from CFNI in 1997...same year we got married.
