Great Things!

Date 7.28.08

This past week has been so amazing with all of the great things that God has done at tides and will continue to do.  We have made many strides on the new building, Vacation Bible School was a huge success with 30 brand new commitments for Christ.  TBN was powerful and it was amazing to give God all of the glory for everything that He has done in our family!  Last week didn’t come without it’s warfare though.  Whenever there is a great work of God moving there is opposition!  We had trouble with the school district because our custodian quit in the beginning of the week.   I had such a difficult time dealing with one person in particular over there that really tested my Grace meter!  We had trouble with the city getting approval for a much needed permit.  To top it off we lost a very beloved brother named Christopher Laurie son to Pastor Greg Laurie in a car accident on the 91 freeway last thursday the 24th of July.  Since then God has been faithful and we have restored a relationship with our custodian Johnny.  He is a neat man who loves the Lord and we are so blessed to have him as a friend and co-worker for the cause of Christ.  We are working on the district and the city.  Hopefully in 45 short days or so we can eliminate both challenges by moving into an amazing facility of our own!

Come out this week for the next installment of Hostage where we address the topic of Anger.  See you all on Sunday!
