Signs of Growth
It is January 21st and we have daffodils popping up! Some of them even have flower buds on them! WOW! I love this Alabama living! More important, there are also signs of new growth in our ministry outreaches!
Our Monday morning, Business Owners Prayer has attracted two new businessmen. They are both Fort Payne natives and are very excited about what God has done in their businesses. Both have incredible testimonies regarding answered prayer. I am excited because I feel that once we get several ”credible witnesses” established in this group, it will take off. By credible witnesses I mean someone the community knows and respects.
The other “sign of growth” is on the government front. Chris, Joyce, and I have been regularly attending the Fort Payne City Council meetings. Our purpose in being there is to pray for these men as they conduct the city’s business. In December, Councilman Watson, recognized us publicly, by thanking us for our attendance and expressed his gratitude that we care. This past Tuesday, he and the council President both came and talked with us after the meeting. Councilman Watson, who is a pastor, again thanked us and told us how important it was that we are there because when we come in, we usher in the presence of God. The Council President concurred!
We thank and praise God for these little signs of growth. They are encouragement to us.
