PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD!….WOW…..Thank you Jesus…..i really don’t even know what to write or share right now because there are 5 kazillion thoughts coursing through my mind, and my heart is just pounding with excitement! In so many ways it feels that we just started a couple of weeks ago and in reality that is the case, just 52 of em…hahahaha.
Gang we are learning, we are growing, people lives are transforming, hearts are renewing, relationships are forming, friendships are growing deeper, hearts are changing, eyes are opening, mouths are moving, but more than anything we are doing some lovin! Yes sir Jesus is being made famous through how you are living HIM OUT LOUD in your homes, at work and in the community through your love for each other (John 13:35).
Our community is seeing a people that desires to reach folks for Christ and to make disciples by living life intentionally with each other across the generations. People are seeing through your love of Christ that there is truly a safe place (the Refuge) to come and get a drink of grace (ReCharge) and mercy by taking a deep breath out from behind their mask, as they watch you without yours. Folks are starting to ask why? and our response is why not? Why not gather and remind ourselves and everyone in our midst that faith in Christ is tremendously GREAT NEWS! Why not gather in his name and His name only and not concern ourselves with the responsibility of paying people or funding a capital campaign for buildings. Why not spread the resources out to and through folks in our homes, at work and in our communities. Why not share our plenty with our brothers and sisters in transition from jail to their new normal. Why not share our overflow with our brothers and sisters that are temporarily laying their head down in a tent. Heck why not share with everyone as they have need (Acts 2).
Our response for a year has been we will! and folks are hearing of your faith as we grow in our faith
Dear brothers and sisters, we can’t help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing. (2 Thessalonians 1:3)
I too can’t help but THANK GOD for each of you, let’s continue to rock the world in showing how we can
love em up!
Happy Birthday gang…love yall
