As most of you know...our church building caught fire last Sunday
morning. It wasn't a total loss...but when you have a fire it
damages far beyond what the flames itself touch.
We had already had the trip to Arkansas planned....we were
hesitant to leave with so much to be done, but God gave
us peace about it. So, despite our feelings...we decided to go.
And I am so glad we did!
It never ceases to amaze me how God works through his people.
Churches are taking up love offerings to put towards
either re-building or repairs....now we haven't asked for a
penny...please understand that...it's just God's people wanting to
be a blessing to Holy Hills Baptist Church!
Sure,we were expecting to come back home filled to the brim,
but as the old song says, "I'm drinking from my saucer, 'cause my
cup has overflowed." Is more along the lines of describing
how we feel.
Today at Bro. Tony Hutson's church they will be taking up
another love offering for Holy Hills....
Isn't it amazing?!?
There have been people volunteer their church builings to
have services in...crews offering to help us re-build!
Ladies volunteering to come cook for those crews...and the
list keeps getting longer. We have people lined up to help
with whatever we need as soon as God says, "GO!"
The word has gotten out that Holy Hills is on fire for God and
that the Devil is MAD and trying to do whatever it takes
to destroy it....There are so many churches that are reaching
out to us...and most importantly...praying for our church family.
The preacher last night made this statement:
The more you mean to God the more determined the
devil is to destroy you.
So, keep a watchful eye Holy Hills...When Satan realizes
that this isn't gonna keep us down...
he's really gonna be mad!
