We drove into Pflugerville at around 11:30pm on Saturday night and spent several hours getting ready for Sunday morning. Thanks to the Lord, our Sunday could not have gone better!
From the moment we began prayer before service, into our adult Sunday School class (where we spent 15-20 minutes worshipping) and continuing in the service - God was so strong in our midst! Our men are starting to step out into the aisles to sing and worship. I have not asked them to or even talked about it, but they are stepping out in unity. It is awesome. It is also making a difference in the atmosphere of worship.
We had 46 in service with 11 regular people out for one reason or another! We had 3 brand new guests from the city of Pflugerville, a couple and a single young man. The couple were in the altar at the end of service and she was refilled with the Holy Spirit. They live right around the corner from the church and they said they would definitely be back. The single gentleman is a friend of one of the young ladies in our church and he was touched. I stepped back to pray with him at the end. When I was about to walk away, he looked at me and said, "Thanks for the Word today. I really needed that! I will be back." That is what we are looking for. People who will continue to come and let God do a work in their life!
I received word last night that a land deal for us is in the works again--- YES! I received a call today from our VBS mother wanting to be put on the church cleaning schedule! You know what that means! She is feeling at home--- YES! My back is feeling much better--- YES! (There is nothing worse than wanting to get back to normal and your back is locked up.) God has provided a financial need for us and I am so thankful--- YES!
I don't think I have mentioned it on here, but we had a school bus donated to us several months ago. We have been working on getting it to pass the inspections and it looks like that might happen pretty soon! This means another ministry being birthed. Help us pray about it! We do have in-roads into a neighborhood where children are wanting to come. I will post pictures when we get the bus out on the road! Uhhh, we will need Sunday School rooms for the kids, but I am trusting God to provide that. If we bring them, He will provide. We already have teachers ready and willing to teach.
I love to be a part of His great adventures! The bottom line is.... it is His church, it is His work, and He is able.
