New Life Update

We had a great meeting with the owner of the Scarritt Building. It was a clear and direct answer to prayer. Before we went in we prayed that God would make it evident how we should proceed in regards to focusing in on the right property. Tony Totta, Mark Greenway and I were able to share the story of how God has called us downtown. We were also able to share the burden that we have for the people that will be touched by the church, daycare and counseling center.

It was at this point in the conversation that things began to get exciting as we dreamed about the ministry opportunities and the possibilities of partnering with his ministries in Northeast Missouri. He shared stories of lives that he has seen God change including his own.

After about 30 minutes we began to talk about the business side of the meeting and he quickly shared that they would really like to see us get the building. He said that it does bring in a profit and told us to work out the numbers so they do not stretch us financially. As I see it, as long as we can make a strong case for the price he is willing to accept.

After an hour of sharing blessings, vision and discussion the building, the owner, three of his assistants, Tony, Mark and myself were able to close in prayer. What a blessing!

We must continue to pray for God’s wisdom in compiling the proposal. We must also pray for the meetings next week to go well.

Thanks again for your prayers.
