Calling on you!

Kim and I can't begin to express how important you are to us!

We are now two weeks into our volunteerism campaign and while things seem to be going well and we hear great things from everyone our signups have not been great! we have roughly 80 signups and most of those are for one week a month. So that comes out to around 20 volunteers per week. While that number doesn't seem so bad I am ever reminded that we are launching with two services. We have between 40 - 50 people who have said they plan on making North campus their permanent campus so combined with the 20 volunteers per week that makes about 60 - 70 people per week or 30 - 35 people per service as volunteers. If all of these are serving then that only leaves us with 30 people per service that are not serving and are creating critical mass.

Needless to say The enemy is trying to have a hay day with Kim and myself. We have felt a little discouraged and an overwhelming since of discouragement the past few days. I know that these are an attack of the enemy. I know God has called us here! I know God has called Grace to North Katy! In fact as I was writing this I was writing an entirely different blog but had stopped mid way through for a weekly meeting with Bette and we prayed about some of the logistical concerns and feel that God has shown us how to navigate through them. HE is good!

AS you pray, pray for peace, patience, and faith to continue to overcome any attack from the evil one! Pray that God would rise up the army He wants to fulfill His purposes!

Thank you for standing in prayer with us!

Jeff, Kim, Max, Joshua and Tate
