There's More!

Wow! I cannot believe we are preparing a new building as a permanent place from which we can Impact our community! 12,000 sqft of awesome space for us to worship, do community, celebrate with Summit Kidz, for the Summit Edge student impact team to meet and for us to launch a community initiative that is so big that we will see God literally change the face of our culture.

This past week we have seen 60 teenagers from Indiana and Michigan work with Team Effort to help us accomplish the impossible! In 3 days they were able to complete what would have taken us 2 1/2 months to do. These kids did this with smiles on their faces and an energy in the step that absolutely would fire you up!

This has all happened so fast and we have seen God bless so much that it has just astounded me at what He has done. As a church, we believe that God wants us to make this move and that WE will change the face of our culture by expressing God’s love! As we have started this project:

• God gave us a building that does not really cost anymore than our current rent!
• He gave us Team Effort and around 60 teenagers and adults to start a demolition project that was not anything less than incredible. Next week we will have 36 more take up where they left off!
• We needed $345 for a dumpster on Monday and someone unexpectedly decided to donate the dumpster.
• We needed $1500 to get the architect started on our drawings. An anonymous donor stopped by to give $1500 to pay for the architect!
• Today we need $7,381.11 to pay our first month’s rent and security deposit so that everything can be finalized and we can move forward.

That is huge! Normally a church draws up plans; has a faith series of messages; schedules a pledge Sunday; raises the funds and THEN starts all this stuff. Well…I believe God has orchestrated this so we could give God ALL the glory and so the community could be perplexed, bewildered and amazed at what GOD has done.

Here’s the big ask Summit Church. You guys have been so faithful to tithe and support this ministry. Your love for God and the vision He has given our church is undeniable. I know this is short notice and will require much, but I am asking that as many as possible will commit to give an offering, right now, above and separate from your regular tithe. Pray about it! Believe God to multiply it! And commit to it! I would then like to ask you to come to the Friday night worship experience @ 8 PM with the kids who have helped make this happen this past week and give this offering as we receive it for the Lord!

If you can’t make it Friday night, click on the donate button to the right to donate online or you can bring it on Sunday. The developer wants this check tomorrow, but may give us until Monday! This is a God-sized task before us. I am so proud and grateful for each one of you. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do and I look forward to giving you the report on Sunday as we celebrate this victory together! God bless you as you let God bless!
