Party at Church

Did I read that right? We had a party at church this morning. Our church was giving out $100 bills and Jon and our family took the challenge. Life Together was the message this morning. Together we can build this church. Our church started a building fund awhile back and when the economy flipped the bank backed out of the funding. Gold Creek has an active building permit. The challenge that our pastor put out to us was our church needs $4 million dollars to complete the rest of our building project. Our pastor has no idea where this money is coming from but he knows we have a God that can do all things and hopefully this money can multiply. We have dirt that needs to be moved for more church space. Gold Creek Community Church is growing by each Sunday. As a family through the summer we will be doing a carwash, selling lemonade, and many other things to turn the $100 of investing to something way bigger. I will continue to pray for this $100 to multiply and I am excited for the challenge. Psalm 61:8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

If you have any ideas of how to multiply the $100 I would take them.

Oh My goodness! I love this challenge!! Anything worth doing is worth doing BIG! When it's bigger than you then you know there's only one who could have made it happen...GOD! He is great and will bring a miracle to your church. I will be praying about your $100.

Thanks Melanie. We will be doing a carwash and selling cookies and lemonade with some friends from church, so we hope it will go great.
