Powerful Words From The Shawpkins Community Group from Elevation Church

It was a pleasure meeting you tonight and hearing about the formidable goal Lois' Lodge has before it. Our Pastor says that bad odds force faith. In much the same way, a great God provokes great faith. It would be difficult to reflect on a God who rained manna from Heaven, made the sun stand still, raised Lazarus from the dead, fed 5000+ from 5 loaves and 2 fish, and most importantly, conquered sin and the grave through His own son, without having the faith that He could bring 1000X1000. If you are familiar at all with Elevation Church, they make some audacious goals so we are becoming increasingly comfortable at putting it in God's hands. They have taught us that God is not intimidated by our big, lofty requests, He is insulted by our puny ones. And you all have surely honored the Father with your audacious faith. Sure, it's a lot easier and safer to stay in the boat but we experience Jesus at a whole new level when we step out. Not only that, we experience the miraculous feat of walking on water; doing the impossible! We are proud to be able to stand with you in fighting the good fight!

You may not have heard but the girls stopped by for a brief moment tonight. We were able to join hands and pray together! We know that not all of them are Christians (yet) but the Word never goes out void. What a blessing it was for each of us to know that we could intercede on their behalf.

Looking forward to the road ahead. . .
