Yes, we're still here! Sorry it's been a while since our last post. We had a great weekend. Seems like we're saying that every week but it's true! We've got new families that are connecting with us and we're very excited about that. God is bringing in people who can help shoulder weight, carry vision and become leaders. They are coming in ready to just get to work and plow ground. That's exciting. The service this past weekend was really great in that it reached a new level in the Spirit. We're seeing people step out of their comfort zone of the chairs and come forward praising and worshipping God, not only during worship but for giving! That's amazing and a HUGE step of growth. We're seeing more than ever what we're fighting against here is traditional religious mindsets. There is so much tradition regarding church attendance. That is what we are fighting against and breaking through. We are seeing a difference...we are seeing people's mindsets change and growth come in those areas. That's amazing! We keep hearing over and over from people coming or calling, "There's nothing like that here in Bellevue!" A Spirit filled church that is strong in the Word. It seems that a lot of people are looking for that. We've even been called "extreme, intense, edgy", you know, all the things we consider a compliment! :>) We know God has a people here for this church and we are praying every day that nothing hinders those from coming in that God has called to this work! We're ready for them!
If you can't tell, we are excited! How many times can you say "excited" in one post? haha. I need to get my thesaurus out! Energized! How's that? Really, we are.
We miss all of you so much! We love you and thank you for your continued prayers.
