Impacting others 2,000 miles away!

What a great day we had yesterday. We began the day meeting with a woman that started coming to the church two weeks ago. She wants to make Gateway her home church but she wanted to hear more about our vision and just more information about us. She's a sweet lady who just has a passion for the things of God....she's a business owner though so she's not going to pull any punches or waste time. She knows what she's looking for.

She was actually referred to our church by Pastor Danny Chambers of Oasis Worship Centre, which is where we attended until we started the church. He and Rick had met for coffee and Rick was able to share the vision of what we're doing in Bellevue. Pastor Danny agreed that Bellevue was ripe for harvest and so in need of a life-giving Spirit filled church. She used to attend their church when they were here in Bellevue but when they moved across town she couldn't go with them because the drive was too far. So she's been waiting and praying for a Spirit-filled church to come to this area. She still sees Pastor Danny and Jillian because she owns the salon where they have their hair done which happens to be in Bellevue. So, Pastor Danny told her about us starting the church and she was so excited. She's been at service two weeks in a row and has decided to make this her home church. In fact, she's jumping right in and starting our classes tonight.

It's so amazing again, how God is moving in this area. We have such an expectancy for what He's going to do here. Not so man can be glorified but so that He is glorified.

It's funny, because we shared with her, as she was telling us how long she had been praying for a church like this to come to the area, that there were people in California praying for her before she even knew we were here and whom she doesn't even know. That just ministered to her so much to know that we have loved ones, friends and family who are praying for people here who they don't even know. So, just know this, you are impacting people's lives 2,000 miles away!

Thank you for your continued prayers!
