We have now been here on the ground in Moscow for almost 4 months and already the Lord has provided us with a lot!! In the past few weeks we have purchased an enclosed trailer to haul all of our church stuff in. I was looking for an 8ft trailer because they were more in our price range, but the Lord provided us with a 12ft trailer, He must think were gonna have alot of stuff to haul!! He knows best!! We have also had enough money come in to purchase a full sound system, Praise God!! We have everything including the capabilities to record the audio of our services. So we will be able to Pod Cast our sermons and testimonies!! Pretty Awesome right!?! God has also provided us with Sound Panels to be able to use in the Schiermans Clubhouse (aka slurp N burp). The building has concrete floors and brick walls, so there is alot of echo and not enough stuff in there to soak up sound. Thanks to John and Cathy for providing those, you are an answer to prayer!!
Here is quickly how that happened...
One Wednesday, Deb and I were talking about looking at the U of I or WSU for some sound panels like they use for cubicles to help soak up some of the noise at the clubhouse. So that night I met with some of the guys on the launch team and mentioned to them to pray that God would provide those for us. Well Aaron, who was there, just happened to talk to his mom earlier in the day who mentioned that if there was anything she could do to help our church, let her know. Just so happens her and her husband own a business out of the Seattle area that deals in used office furniture (like cubicles). Well Bla Bla Bla, Yada yada yada and now we have 20+ sound panels, free of charge to soak up sound in the Clubhouse and a trailer to store them in and haul them all there and back!! Cool right!! Those kinda stories are happening all the time here. God is working miracles and doing all kinds of stuff in our body right now!!
So lets see if God will continue His work... The next big item for us is a Website. This is a something that we believe will greatly help us and will help get our message out there. So we have found a site that we love and think will work perfectly for us. It costs $1000 to purchase and we want to throw that out there for all of you to pray with us about. I know God is going to provide this for us and I am excited to see how He does it!! Pray with us about this and ask God to continue to work miracles here and providing us with all we need to be who He wants us to be!!
Also be in prayer, our 2nd service is coming up this Sunday and we are excited to see who God brings out and how He works!! We have so much more already than we did a month ago and we just recognize that God has to be present for all this to come together and for this work. We are all so excited about inviting our friends and family to come join us but we want it to be a positive experience and know that only God has the ability to make that happen! If you want, please make to drive to join us, we will take anyone who has a desire to be there!! This 2nd service will give us another chance to practice being who it is God is calling us to be.
To end let me just say that we are all so grateful to all of you who have been praying for us, supporting us, and following what God is up to here in the Palouse. He is at work in our lives and we are excited to be used to love our community better and show them how much God loves them!! Thanks to all of you who have been an encouragement to us in the past few months. If I am honest, there seems to be a lot of tough days right now!! My pastor always told me there is no over encouraged leader, so all of your encouragement and love has been so benificial!! Thanks also to all of you who have come to Moscow to see us and love on us and see what were up to here. Your visits have been so meaningful. We love all of you and we love being in the center of Gods will here in the Palouse. We areso excited to see what God is already doing here in our midst and also excited to see what He has to come! God Bless
