Important schedule change!!

This Sunday, May 31st, we are having some in-house training instead of our normal meeting schedule. It is important that all who are regular participants in singing, playing and prayer-leading attend this refresher clinic. For all the rest, take the day off...we'll see you next week!

3rd Anniversary

We are excited to be celebrating our 3rd year as Sanctuary House of Prayer this Thursday, May 7th. It has been a wild ride but the Lord has done amazing things in and through us.

Recently, I was recalling with some friends on how we began and what exactly we thought was coming for us. The mystery of God's leadership is such that you never know with confidence which direction he will take you, even when you think you know what would be best for all involved. But, so often He does something differently! He sees it from a different angle and He alone understands what we really need.

We began this house of prayer thinking (hoping, maybe) that we would grow quickly, rally piles of young people, find a huge facility and go night and day. The Lord, however, decided to build it in a different way, keeping the crowds small, the conditions difficult and the hours limited. Instead, he worked on who we were are as people of prayer, of holiness before Him, and used every situation to draw a huge YES out of us to all that He does.

Now that we are at the 3-year mark, it is clear to me...He is brilliant leader! All the external stuff will come eventually. I have no doubt of this. But, most of what has happened on the inside are things we didn't even know we needed.

For all that has happened and for the wonderful journey ahead, I have such gratefulness in my heart. Thank-you Jesus...you lead us so well!!
