What's Been Going On?...

I just wanted to catch you up on what's been going on at church. I eluded to some stressful things a few posts ago and I just wanted to fill you in. SOme of you know that we are in the middle of a building project at our church. This is a VERY big undertaking for a church of about 70 (on a good day.) We are building a multipurpose building that will hold classrooms, kitchen and basketball court.

Last week, Jamie got an email from the steel company stating that they were raiding the price of our steel about $24, 000 and some change! This was a total shock to us! We went with this company over a more local one because of the promise of a 35% discount. The price rise was exactly that same % down to the penny. The contract states that they can raise the price until the steel is delivered.(bad on our part.) I tell you all this to say that Jamie's life is VERY stressful right now. As those of you in full time ministry know that then transfers home. Hence the need for time away!:)

Please be in prayer that the steel company doesn't raise prices anymore, that they will cut and deliver the building quickly, and that God will make up the $ somewhere along the way.

Also pray that God will give my family peace during this stressful time in the life of our church, and that people will come together and revival will break out in our church and town(it is very spiritually dead; more on that another time.)

Thanks in advance for all your prayers.
