We’re going to BUILD A WALL, and….
Wait. Not the same thing. At all.
There’s a privacy fence up on part of our property now. Why? Because God decided to give us a little reminder.
The elders were recently talking about the increased expenses that we have around the church right now. (Continued building expenses, not to mention a new roof needed on the 30-year old office trailer to replace the rotten one there now.) I was a little down, wondering if these expenses were ever going to actually decrease, or if they were going to continue onward and upward. I think I expressed a desire for God to just give us a little fistbump… Just a little encouragement that His plan was still better than our plan.
That’s when it happened.
Out of the blue, we received a phone call from Doug Williams at World Fiber Technologies. His company is going to be in the area area installing new traffic signals for the next 7 or 8 months, and need a staging area for their equipment. SO, they are renting a one-acre section of our property through May or so, and they are paying The Orchard Church $1000 per month! They have put up the privacy fence, and have just a little bit of equipment up there now. Don’t worry… There will be much more to come.
Thanks for the fistbump, God!
Please Continue Anyway
So, YES, the gate will now have a lock on it while that one acre is being rented, but PLEASE continue to go up there whenever you want to. (you can just walk around the gate, but you can’t get a vehicle up there.) Watch the sunrise, sunset, just walk around, and most importantly, CONTINUE TO PRAY on our property for what God will be doing up there NEXT!
UPDATE:
Storage containers brought in!
