Well. Today was our first Sunday here in Olive Branch. I decided to step out in faith and instead of going to visit another church that I would rent the civic center here and just trust God to fill the seats. I started praying at 6AM and by 10AM the seats were all still empty. I kept praying. Then people started coming in by the droves! Several thousand people stated coming in it was amazing! I started praising God and shouting for joy. Then a guy came and asked me to leave because it was the 5th annual gun and knife show and I didn't have a ticket.
Okay so I didn't really do that but it sounds like a good story. We did visit a church today and got to know the pastor which was great.
Also I just got off the phone with Shana. You guys who are reading this need to pray for them. They [plural due to the fact that Shana is actually a group of three girls:Shana, Liz, and Cyndy] need to rent their house. They are moving here in 23 days and a wake up and still no one to rent it. They have lots of traffic so pray that one o these lookers will stick. These chicks SO want to come and help plant this exciting new kind of church. So pray for them vigorously!
Did I mention we are still unpacking? We are so excited to get our stuff outta boxes! We only have about 15 more boxes to go and then some furniture stuff and wall hanging stuff. We are working really hard on the house so we can be finished with it so next week we can be 100% focused on SouthPoint. Pray for us this week we travel [more traveling can you believe it?] to Atlanta fo an ARC [Association of Related Churches] meeting. So pray for safe travels and a good meeting.
