HEAL THE SICK,RAISE THE DEAD,FEEED THEHUNGRY,GIVE HOMES TO THE HOMELESS,AND SO ON

This week is a pivotal week in the history of our church. Today during our service Pastor Tom announced that he was about to put forth in faith the dream of feeding the poor and sheltering the homeless.
 He said God gave him a vision for all the homeless ones we have in our church and all the ones in poor housing.
But he did not know where a  place was for this to happen.
 Just as he says this God puts in Noel's heart the idea of using the old monastery on Route 206 in Andover Township.
It is empty and some parts are a bit falling in but would still be a possible place to do all the outreach.
 So Noel presents the idea to Tom and we pray.
About two hours later, after Noel and I enjoyed a lovely lunch together, we went to the abbey to pray over it.
Seeing it physically would be better, Noel thought instead oif praying over a picture.
 I told Noel I would go to pray but I was not walking through the big, giant underbush.
But then God rebuked me and I told Noel I was sorry and get behind me Satan and we went to the abbey.
 It was pretty overgrown and the roof of the chapel was caved in. The doors were tightly shut and a sign saying Private Property Keep Off was firmly planted in the front yard.
Looking at that stone building made me think i was in a different era, in some pastoral land in rural England perhaps.
The windows were arched and there are so many of them.I imagine it would offer sunshine and warmth to this center.
 We prayed a bit and Noel blew the shofar. I am sure that God sent his angels of provision,restoration and planning there today.
 Late this evening I saw a message on my facebook from a woman at church. She was driving home from church and she got the same idea as Noel about this building. Immediately she told me this on facebook once she heard from a friend that Noel had thought of this place.
 Our church wants to feed the hungry,clothe the ones in need,heal the sick,raise the dead,cleanse the lepers and proclaim the kingdom of God is at hand.
The homeless are coming into our church and the ones released from prison.
They have nowhere to live.
Yet we want to create a place that will not make them dependant but instead feed and house them,offer them Jesus and educate them.We want to see people prosper and grow and learn.

 What a great start to a great plan today!Praise God!!!!!
