Our theme for 2008 is one that calls for us to step through the door of opportunity that the Lord has opened before us. As you can see in the graphic above, there is a harvest waiting beyond that door! God is moving in our midst. I have a Bible Study this Friday with our VBS mom and am working on another one with a sweet family that have been attending for a couple months now.
I am believing God for new families that are in need of a new life. We are working on outreach opportunities to come in contact with those who are hungry for change and are planning a Spring Block Party to start off with. We did have 10 filled with the Holy Ghost this past weekend in the our prison service! They are definitely in need of a new life! We have a freedom service planned for January 30th for those that are facing the addiction to substances in their families. Spirit of Freedom Ministries will be with us and we will be starting classes for those who need to satisfy probation requirements in our area. The need is great and we plan to step through this door.
January is a month of prayer and fasting. We will end the month with our first communion service. Several months ago, someone called out of the blue and offered us a complete communion set! A few days following that, UPS delivered it to our door. We are so thankful for all God has brought our way. We will also resume our Discipleship classes on January 27th for 3 Sundays. They are on Sunday evening at 6:30pm.
Please be in prayer still for our land and next location. We have several possibilities for our next storefront location and land is still in the works for our future building! We need the new location to expand our Children's Ministry on Sundays. I believe this is a key also to reaching families. We want to prepare for our miracle bus ministry.
In the things familiar we find security
Resisting all the changes that days and years can bring,
When God decides to lead you through an open door
Inviting you to walk in realms you've never walked before.
Beyond the open door is a new and fresh anointing,
Hear the Spirit calling you to go.
Walk on through the door for the Lord will go before you
Into a greater power than you've ever known before.
Hear the spirit calling to wake the living dead,
To reach the huddled masses who cry out for living bread.
Arise oh mighty army, take up thy shield and sword
For the Father lifts His golden lamp beside the open door.
Where He leads me, I will follow
Where He leads me, I will follow
And where He leads me, I will follow
Into a greater power than you've ever known before,
Beyond the open door...

Awesome song, and awesome theme.
Y'all continue to be in our prayers. We are excited about what God has done, is doing, and is going to do in Pflugerville!

What a wonderful theme - going "beyond" the "open" door. Will be praying with you that God goes "beyond" the ordinary and "opens" doors filled with miracles and goodness.
We love hearing about all the wonderful things God is doing in Plugerville!
Awesome! We are excited for y'all!!! Can't wait to hear of all the great things that God will do through and for you this year. Y'all are in our prayers. Love you!
WOW! The theme is awesome, and the bible studies and new Holy Ghost filled people is even better.

We used to have a boys quartet sing that song. Sounds like this is going to be a great year. I will keep you in my prayers.
We miss seeing you guys in the Texas District. Home Missions is rewarding! Seventeen years later we still find church planting to be exciting! I will pray for revival in Pflugerville in '08. Hope to see you all soon...
HEY! It was good to hear from all of you - some new voices also! We are excited about the open door and also so glad to have family and friends backing us up in prayer!
