Pastor John called to report several exciting things:
1.
He just returned from attending the first
session at Point Loma in his Master's program.
2.
The church meant their budget requirements for
the third month in a row. In the prior year and a half this had never
happened.
3.
Someone from the church bought floor tile and
installed it in one of the basement rooms of the church. The
church flooded before we were there last July ,and this is the first of many
rooms to complete.
4.
One of the members of last summer's work and
witness team members gave money for living room furniture for Pastor John and
Carla's home. They chose patio furniture because it is more maintainable with
their son Peter's use. The cushions are washable and replaceable.
In our church, we have been in
a study of Nehemiah. Through the study
of Nehemiah, we see that God cares about and watches over everything. God had plans for Nehemiah and He provided. Jesus told His disciples in
Luke 12:2-7
There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that
will not be made known. 3 What you have said in the
dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in
the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
4 “I
tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after
that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you
should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to
throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. 6 Are
not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by
God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all
numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Pray for Carla. She
goes in for kidney stone surgery the 21st of November.
