This day we will try and begin an "official" church start in the valley. We have found a place to rent. We have the local church with us, we have found favor with the people in the valley, we have finally broken through a huge barrier. WE PRAY that we have at least. This is a picture from two years ago when we committed to helping these precious people in the valley get a church started. We started prayer walking the area Jan 1 2005. Today May 1, 2008 God's hand of mercy continues to reach out to the people in the valley., Zone 6. Nobody knows what tomorrow's blog picture will look like....will they show up tonight? Will anybody be there? What will the service look like? How can we step back and let God move through this? My hopes and prayers are that God will get all the glory for what He is about to do in the valley. Pray for our meeting tonight. We dearly need to hear from GOD today on how to start this and keep it going. We have already lost two places of meeting before this but our new location is perfect and we believe from God. We found the man that is renting it to us last year. Marshall Link and David Groves were our prayer walking when this man Stoin, the owner of this new meeting place invited them in for tea and coffee. Now only one year later we have a meeting place! Praise the Lord only He could have led us to this mans house.
We have had a good week so far, we even took a ride in a (carootza) horse drawn carriage two days ago with the team all aboard. All the way around the village and it was great! We have a team from Living Word Baptist that has come to help Randy and Teresa transition into their new life and help keep the work in the valley moving. They head to Moldova tomorrow for a mission there also. They have been a great team...thanks for sending them Living Word. It is not every day we get to see the beginning of an "official church" start.
