Praise God for the new building that my church is getting. God just loves to blow the minds of His people. I'll give you the low down on everything.

The church I attend is a church that is part of the G12 vision. Through the G12 vision our church sees fairly rapid growth. Since 'Church Without Limits' (my church) really began the church ran in the back of a bike shop. Through trails and tests and enduring them, God gave the church an opertunity to rent out a sanctuary on Saturdays. That is where we meet now. I believe in spring '03, the pastor found out about the G12 vision and decided to impliment it. I came to the church in Oct. and there was about 75, 80 people that came out every Sat. In the spring of '04, we had around 250 people regularly comming out. We saw the rate the church was growing and decided we need a new building, cause we were into 2 seprate services now.
This is where is gets cool.
As a church we saw a oppertunity to sow into a messianic church for their new building, and we gave $50,000. We have been believing that God will provide us with a building that will meet our needs as a church.

Tonight, I just came out of a meeting that was called and we have a new building and the contracts are being signed. That is good and all, but when I tell you what we got, you'll know it was from God.

It is a big building that costs millions of dollars to build. Another church was building it, and they felt it in their heart that God was saying to bless this church. This building has two levels. The top level seats about 1,500 people, that belongs to them. The bottom level is ours and it seats about 500. Not only that, but we also get classrooms, a nursery, foyer, and lots of storage. There is an overflow section too. There is a stage and room for worship (we lack that where we are now). We are getting all this for $150,000. This building costs more than 3 million, and we are paying $150,000. Praise God! In August when we will be moving in, we will own the building debt free!
The church has estimated before 5 years we will need a new building again, more oppertunity for God to flex His muscles.:amen:
