Well today was yet another landmark day in the history of Redeemer?s Way. Pastor Scott and the Elders of Living Way prayed over our team to send us out. It was sad to be leaving Living Way after 8 years, but we are excited to begin to enter into our next phase of ministry!

God has given us 3 stages that all relate to the crossing of the Jordan by the Children of Israel. The 1^st was the beginning which was ?On the eastside of the Jordan? Phase two which began several months ago ?Crossing the Jordan.? This phase is rapidly coming to close and the 3^rd phase will begin ?Possessing the Land?

Things are beginning to move very fast, and God continues to amaze us. Just this week three new people have joined our team. Two of them will be our first Worship Leaders.

On a practical side, we have had a donation of wood flooring. This will be enough to do our front foyer and the office. We also have a deal on church chairs (only used for a couple of months) for $20 each, and the seller will store them for free until we need them. We also have a friend that will donate his labor for installing the carpet.

Next Sunday we will start a Sunday morning Bible Study. These will be open beyond our team, to include our friends and family (and really anyone who would like to come). We are sponsoring 5 needy children for this Christmas season, and we will hold our first Christmas Eve service in just a few weeks.

We still have a lot of work to do on the building, but we have paint on the wall and things are starting to come together. Each week we get closer and closer.

God is faithful and I can see the vision He has for us clearer each day.

Be Blessed

Pastor Jon
