He is At Work

Since October 12 the doors of LSCC been open to visitors. We have hung around 3,000 door hangers on neighborhood homes informing them there is a new church near by. We have handed out personal invitations and have been written about in the local newspapers. Our prayer meeting continues to happen on Monday nights, asking the Lord to bring the people. It is truly amazing how He has answered our prayers. Since our opening day we've added 5 new families and have seen visitors each week. This past Monday night a guy dropped by to give us some books for a start on a church library. He had read about us in the paper and wanted to help. A lady called me up on the phone after reading about us in the paper and wanted to financially support us. I met her a couple days later and she did indeed give us a financial gift as well as a big smile and joy that overflowed from her heart. It was a wonderful dose of encouragement. These are just a few visible signs of God at work for His church. I am reminded of the words from Zech 4:6, 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty. ' NIV We continue to trust in God for the increase, we continue to pray for a harvest, we continue to rejoice with gratitude over these precious signs God has shown us in books and gifts. He is at work and as my good friend told me recently, we are just along for the ride! Blessings.
