Hi Everyone,
Please continue to pray for the citizens of France and the Christian churches there in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. Brad has carried on conversations over Facebook with several evangelical pastors in Paris who asked us to pray for them and their churches as they share grace and hope in this time of grief and confusion. Pray that God will open the eyes of the French people and, for that matter, the rest of the world, to the reality of sin and evil and their urgent need for the one true Savior, Jesus Christ. Pray that God will create in them a hunger for the gospel. Pray also that God will bring about a worldwide spiritual awakening among Muslims. I had read prior to the Paris attacks that many Muslims have been shocked and disgusted by the evil acts of ISIS and other radical Islamic group and have turned from Islam and embraced Christ. That's eternal good news in the midst of temporal bad news.

Construction got a little wet this week.
The rain stopped all exterior work yesterday and today, but we are
still on schedule. The building pad will be completed next week, and
work will begin on the foundation. Much is happening behind the scenes
preparing for the commencement of interior demolition that is set to
start on Monday. Our construction manager, Oliver Sperry Renovation, has
done a great job each week preparing the building for Sunday activities
and other ministry events. I'm confident they will do an equally
outstanding job making the building ready for activities once demolition
and interior construction begins.
Movies in the Park is coming up fast (Dec. 12) and we need 400 dozen cookies! That's
right, 400 DOZEN! If the weather is good, we typically have 1500-2000
people at MITP. It's our biggest outreach event of the year. We not only
need cookies; we need lots of volunteers to help with set up, take
down, serving food and drinks, greeting, and more. To volunteer to bake
cookies or work at the event, email Cathy Dangerfield.
Begin praying now for beautiful weather!! That's by far the most
critical part of MITP, and we have no control over it. Pray also that
God will bless our preparation for the event and lead hundreds and
hundreds of unchurched people to attend.
We will wrap up our Acts study this Sunday by looking at how our response to adversity affects those around us. Read Acts 27-28 to prepare for the message.
I live in USA.Here I see many churches which has need of church loan in USA but getting it from banks or traditional lenders is completely hassling and a lengthy process. So private lender is a good option here.
