I was re-reading my blog, which is kind of a time capsule reminding me of the work of God and my understanding of it at the time in my life.  I saw my post, "Pregnant Dreams" from 2014, where we envisioned rebuilding the stage in our sanctuary at Here's Hope in anticipation of God doing something special, perhaps rebuilding a house of worship in our midst. 

Fast forward:  2015 - Lee Road Baptist Church Mission team came up for the second year in a row, and assisted us with our Faith Camp along with a Mobile Home outreach.  Some helped us by repainting the sanctuary and doing some much needed repairs.  As a consequence, our worship team began to change as well, as we prayed and sought God's leading for our future.  We began to train a worship leader and a bass guitarist came forward with an idea for a worship band.  We spent the early part of 2016 implementing some of this, as our band and worship team began to take shape.

2016 - Lee Road returned, and demolished and completely reconstructed our sound booth and helped prep our sanctuary for new carpet which was installed a week later.  Our sanctuary looks brand new.  Our worship feels new too.  Our worship band "Reaching Higher" began their first live session the week that Lee Road mission team arrived.  We have seen numerous new people come in with fresh vigor and excitement.  Now we wait for the fruit of salvations, conversions, changed lives and families with children and youth to press in. 

We feel as if we are giving birth RIGHT NOW.  God is doing His work in our midst.  Go God!
