Finishing Big Projects

pastor joe — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:08:09 +0000

The last wall went up today! Also, all of the plumbing work is wrapping up. Lots and lots to do…but work is happening at a quick pace and is being done well. Praying that the Lord is with us everywhere we go so that all people will know he is God and we are his!

Some Stuff is Happening!

Stopped by the building this AM to find the concrete re-pour complete and a lot of work being done to finish up sheetrock. Electrician hard at work and JD is thrilled to see the little man on stilts! Lord, provide every resource we need to be about everything you want us to do and be- to enjoy God in everything with everyone!

Changing Daily!

Every day, so much happens at the new location its hard to keep it all straight! Insulation up in every wall, upper level of sheetrock being installed, electrical work almost completed, preps made to re-pour concrete over plumbing. Pray that the Lord allows the Sanctuary to continue to be a big part in changing lives and maturing believers!

Monday Updates

Working hard at the new location to start the new week. Doing a lot of drywall work, putting up insulation in walls, finishing electrical work, etc, etc. Getting ready for the move and praying for the Lord’s power on our people and ministry in the new location!!

Choices, Choices Update

pastor joe — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:36:48 +0000

Offices taking shape, plumbing work almost completed, sheetrocking progressing, choosing interior look is CRAZY. Its all smoke and mirrors- can’t wait to see the lives changed, the hearts redeemed, the lives and souls and marriages and sinners saved through The Sanctuary Fellowship!

Rainy Day Construction News

What a blessing that the workers at the building don’t have to fight this weather- its all inside! Thank you Lord. Pics of the fire control sprinklers being installed and the offices being framed out. Much more to do…hope to receive a March move in date before too long! Pray for God’s resources, God’s timing, and God’s people to be gathered into and sent out from The Sanctuary Fellowship!

Offices and Plumbing

pastor joe — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:44:50 +0000

Frameout of the offices and the mechanical closet has begun. The new plumbing has been quite the project; hoping to get that wrapped up in the next day or so. Progressing nicely! Pray for favor in all inspections and that the Lord blesses and saves many through The Sanctuary Fellowship at our new location!

Sanctity of Human Life- Do Something!!

pastor joe — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:02:07 +0000

Our Life Group ended our discussion last night with the question, “What can we do?” We spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out how we can make a difference for at least one mother who might be considering abortion and at least one baby who might not otherwise be born. If they are really babies, and if abortion really is murder, and we really are Christians- how can we not do something??

Below are some of the resources we pointed our people to after worship on Sunday. This isn’t exhaustive by any means, but its a place to start. Pray and ask the Lord how you are to get involved- then do something for the little ones that can’t help themselves.

40 Days for Life- http://40daysforlife.com/stafford/ Join other Christians all over the world who will stand in the gap in prayer for the unborn. This prayer event runs from February 22-April 1, 2012. Go to the website for more info.

www.Abort73.com- a creative and forthcoming approach to abortion issues, education and activism.

Pregnancy Resource Center- www.prcfortbend.org. Volunteer, give resources, pray, find a way to support this local ministry. A no-cost Christian counseling and resource center for women considering abortion. Our church is seeking how best to partner with them going forward.

Women’s Pregnancy Center- www.wpchouston.com In Houston off 59 and Bissonet. Another no-cost Christian counseling center for women considering abortions.

Adoption and Orphan Care- www.houstonsfirst.org/legacy685 A Houston-based organization that assists Christians in ministering to otherwise unwanted orphans and adoptive children. A must if we are to be truly pro-life!

There will be more to come on these issues and opportunities in the days/weeks/years ahead. We know the Lord is calling TSF to be actively involved in impacting the tragic loss of life through abortion and we’ll be obedient to asking him to show us exactly how. We’re asking for your prayers toward that and your willingness to follow however the Lord leads.

May he use The Sanctuary Fellowship to glorify his name and to spread his fame as we love the unlovable, fight for those who can’t fight for themselves, do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with our God.
