The Amazing Race · Join the Adventure

I am sitting on a plane praying and dreaming of the day we will have our first service on our new property. While that day is in the distant future, there is a lot happening on the property. Our renter has moved out and Russ (with a team of volunteers) are renovating the house so that we can utilize it for office space. In addition, the property is being mowed, cleaned up, and cleared out. I visited the property before I left on our staff retreat and was amazed by all the progress that has already taken place. I was also impressed by how large 17 acres actually is. (Russ was quick to point out to me that we haven’t even cleared half the property yet!)

If you want to see your giving in action and want to be encouraged about the future of our church, stop by the property some time in the next week. Things are happening and your faithful giving to The Amazing Race is making a huge impact!

Two weeks ago, the pastors, elders, and several members from our church went to our property for our sign unveiling. The sign which proudly reads “The Future Home of Canyon Creek Church” may not seem like a big deal but it was huge to me. To me it symbolizes the hand of God on our church. He has been in charge and guiding our footsteps every step of the way. It was less than a year ago when we were deep into the process of praying and asking what is next. A short time later, we had launched our Amazing Race campaign and purchased 17 acres which will be our permanent home. God is good.

So here is a new rule! Every time you drive by our property and see our sign pray a quick prayer for our church. Ask the Lord to move us into our new home soon. Pray for favor with the county. Pray for continued momentum in our Amazing Race campaign. Pray for miraculous financial gifts that will move the process forward quicker. So, whenever you see the sign PRAY!
