Fall 09 Newsletter Excerpts

Victory!

“Everything is possible for him who believes.” Mark 9:23

On 7/30/09 we closed on the property at the Jesus is Lord Park! {see historic signing below- historic for us}

Praise the Lord for His faithfulness and thank God’s people for all the prayer and support!

For our family, the purchase marks the end of a two year adventure of faith beginning with our exodus from NJ, leaving friends, family and ministry to follow the path we believed the Lord would have us take.{Prov 3:5-6}

Things didn’t go as we expected with the purchase. The deal changed so many times, culminating with the bank withdrawing their offer for mortgage last September. All the doors seemed closed tight.

Finally we relented, surrendering all rights to the Lord. Not that we had not already surrendered our rights to the Lord, but there is surrender and then there is SURRENDER. Sometime in early Spring 09 we lay the property and the ministry on the altar once and for all. What a relief it is to really put your trust in the Lord and let Him be Lord!

By June the seller {Dr. Bill- below} agreed to lower the price 110,000.000 in order to accommodate the
bank. We’ll receive that as the providential hand of God! All Glory, praise and honor to the Lord!

“Again you will take up your tambourines and go out to dance with the joyful.” Jer 31:4

Celebrate!

Whenever The Lord gave Israel the victory, Israel had a victory party and praised the Lord. In like manner we will be having a series of prayer, praise and dedication services, as well as regular Friday night campfire worship. {Call- email for details}

Next, it’s rebuilding walls, beginning with a giant cleanup of the property. We will have a ministry
work day every Saturday. Bring the kids and BBQ and swim too.
