Empty House

I just wanted to take a second to tell all of you what I have been doing for the past few weeks. In July, I was at ABWE in PA for their Candidate Seminar and ME Conference, helping them do tech and graphic design. After this trip, I came home to a fairly empty house and had two days before my family moved to Cary, North Carolina. It was extremely hard to leave Chicago. It was all I have ever known! Coming down was hard, but the Lord has started to do great things.

For those of you who don’t know, the reason we came down was to start a church. We came down knowing there were three families waiting for us and together we would start a church. Both my mom and my dad quit their jobs, and headed down here with no definite jobs. My mom quickly got a job as a nurse at Cary Skin Center. My dad was obviously going to be the pastor of the new church but it hasn’t really been completely established yet. We are not even 100% sure where we are going to meet yet! We know that our first Sunday will be Sunday, September 24th, 2006. In order to make this service happen we need the Lord to provide this venue that we have been looking at for a place of worship. The other key factor is all of the tech equipment needs to be bought by then. This means that we have to raise $50,000. You can see what our church is looking to get by going to http://www.northwestlife.org/support.html . While you are online, it would be great if you visited our home page as well. http://northwestlife.org.

If you don’t mind could you pray for our church in thefollowing ways…
1. A place to meet
2. Good attendance
3. Enough volunteers
4. Sufficient funds to start
5. A smooth first Sunday
6. A body with a genuine love for Christ


Thank you for your prayer support!
