Thank you for your support on Sunday
Wednesday, September 26, 2007
Hello family and friends.
I thought I'd blog this entry to give my hubby a break.
Here's a photo of our new office space
at the Orchards Mall in Benton Harbor. A special thank you to those who donated 2 computers and printers, TV, 3 cafe tables with chairs, hardwood flooring, plants, mini fridge, and hours of labor getting the office (and bathroom) ready. Brian is working in the office this very minute and maybe, just maybe if you look really hard, you can see him working diligently at one of the desks, returning a voicemail, or enjoying a beverage with individuals waiting for the bus (the bus stop is directly outside our office).We extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone for their participation w
ith Overflow's first event on Sunday. A special thank you to Jon and Lacey Valentine and Carl and Kathleen Brecht for bringing all the food. We ran out. We could not have done it without everyone's prayers, support, and shared vision that God is doing a great work in the Benton Harbor and St. Joe area. It was awesome to see so many familiar faces. We know that many of you were lifting the event up in prayer, so thank you. The preparation of the event looked something like this... we looked at a calendar, chose a date, and thought, "Let's invite people to the area 
so they get a feel of the area". We did not know what to expect and were overwhelmed (in a good way) with how everything turned out -- with or without the projector. Nellie and Mark, Steve and gang did an awesome job with worship. There were many tears, conversations, hugs, and much laughter. The event was a huge encouragement for everyone involved. The children had a ball. Pictured to the right is Tristan, son of Mark (the worship guy).Thank you again for your physical support... just being there standing beside us meant the world to us. Thank you for helping us with our children and thank you to our parents for taking care of Dawson who was not feeling so hot during the event. He had a fever of 102.7 early Sunday a.m. And I personally want to extend a warm thanks to the men who (at different times) approached me, looked me straight in my eyes and thanked me for "holding down the fort at home" while Brian's working in Benton Harbor. That left a forever impression on my heart.
And lastly, I'd like to share with you Overflow's 1st Birthday Celebration that took place just after the Prayer and Praise event on Sunday. A few of the launch team members told the servers at El Rodeo, a great Mexican restaurant in Benton Harbor, that we had a birthday celebration, Overflow's 1st Birthday. What a surreal moment for us all. Yeah..... Cindy

Rock on, guys! I wish I was closer... what a cool time for you all and for the Kingdom. The people that will step over the line of faith because of your efforts make every drip of sweat invaluable. May today's distractions not steal away that truth. Overflow.
