How God is working at Overflow.....2/28/10
Monday, March 1, 2010
Friends,
Thank you so much for your prayers, support, and encouragement! We hope this encourages you today as much as it has our leadership team. We are currently in our series on 1 John "Unconditional Love" (see above image) and here are a few of the ways in which God has been working in and through Overflow:
* A high school senior was there and it was the first time in 8 years he had been in church....he came as a result of the cafe outreach and two of our volunteer's "connecting conversations"!
* A faithful couple's persistence of inviting a friend to church (for 2 years...) During closing prayer at the end of service, their friend stood to receive Christ! I will sit down with him this week to talk more about his new decision. (God moved and a family that could have given up on inviting a friend did not and was able to see the results).
* A woman who is being used by God to reach into the Benton Harbor community on behalf of special needs children shared that while she faced blatant discrimination/racism this week in the community (towards her) she was not giving up. God has called to her to be a change agent, and while it is not easy she knows and believes that God is with her. One step at a time God is helping people to realize that with Him all things are possible....even loving others unconditionally when they are trying to hurt us.
God is truly moving among us and we need to "keep walking in faith". Faith works (Heb 11:1, 6)
In Pursuit,
Brian

Powerful stuff...and God will receive the glory because nothing we say or do can touch the human spirit like the Holy Spirit can.
*BIG HUGS* everyone.
