Strategic: Reason #1...

Over the next few days or weeks I'll be submitting short blogs...each explaining why our future site is so strategic. Each blog in this series of blogs will contain a title that reads "Strategic: Reason #" (other random blogs will carry completely different titles).

Reason #1 - The Price Is Right

In our location land is EXPENSIVE! Not just "...hmmm, that's a lot of money..." expensive. I'm talking "...there's no way in the world we could obtain land unless God has extreme favor on us and does a miracle..." expensive. Which is exactly what has happened. The exact amount is not important at this time...just know that God has given us extreme favor.

We've taken this entire church planting / reaching people for God thing VERY serious. We've done everything we can to be wise with what God has given us, we've committed since day one to give no less than 10% of our general income to missions and we've been faithful with the little things. Luke 16:10-12 says "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own?" We've been a blessing to others, we've been faithful, diligent and we've done everything short of sin to reach people...and God has provided!

Hope to see you Sunday.
