I love how Abram, in the passage, picks up and goes without knowing where. God said, "Go FROM" not "Go TO." Amazing how a little preposition makes such a huge statement. Abram had to trust God implicitly. Abram is listed in the Faith Hall of Fame in Hebrews 12 because he did step out in faith. Better than Cooperstown or Canton! And his story reminds me of our story and God's call for us to GO!
After months of searching with little success, God o
pened a door for us to move into the Abingdon area by meeting at Emmorton Elementary School! Chris Hoffman and I met with principal Dr. Peter Carpenter and his assistant VP, Edith Buckler, a few weeks back and all leadership is very excited about forming a partnership that blesses the school and The Vine. If you've driven down Tollgate Road you cant help but notice the thousands of town homes - "fields white . . .", ready to bear fruit for God's Kingdom. The second part of that statement by Jesus is "pray for workers for the harvest!" And that's what we feel now. Prayer! Who will join us in the work of loving the people of Abingdon into a relationship with Jesus Christ? Our move is scheduled for March - fast approaching. The Vine would be blessed by your prayers, encouragement, financial support, and service. God is in this mission. Will you join him in his work?Here's a few more pics of our new worshiping campus in March. . . .
