Foundation Set!

WOW - You should see what has taken place this past week. We poured the slab on Monday, removed the forms on Wednesday, framed up the walls on Friday and today (Tuesday) they set the trusses and are decking it tomorrow.


















This last Sunday night we had our fifth Sunday fellowship with singing, food, fellowship and fun... We heard several good new singers and the men served the ladies their coveted dinner. In August we had a "Penny War" raising money for Sheaves For Christ and the ladies won by coming in at the last moment with a couple checks. IT was supposed to be a PENNY war... BUT - We raised a lot of money:^)!




























It was actually fun and we did get our fair share of the food when it was all said and done. I was at the church all day today working in the office, helping the framers, pulling weeds and poisoning weeds but I didn't take the camera. I am going to the church tomorrow with the camera so I will post some progress pictures shortly.

Could this be the place in the sky where the Lord returns?

When I saw this in the sky one evening I could not help but think - "X marks the spot" where the Lord could return in the sky. I was blessed to have my camera to record this for a reminder of what is recorded in His Word.

I Thessalonians 3:16-18 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. NKJV

He is coming; and it just may be sooner than many of us think.

An important question for you and I to ponder;

Are we really rapture ready?

Concrete ready on Second Addition!


Monday 10/23/2006, forms are ready and concrete should be poured today or Tuesday.

This is the second add on since the main building was built in ONE DAY (March 18, 2005) by

the Church in a Day program. The first addition was adding the two wing additions to the sanctuary at the end of 2005.

God is Great!

Here we go again...


Well, this Thursday the concrete contractor is supposed to be back at the church building forms to add on another 1020 square feet of classroom space... Last time it was wings on the sanctuary. Then we added to the church in the belief that God would help us to fill it up, now we are adding on with the knowledge that God is going to help us fill it up:)! Things are rolling along pretty good. It is still all about souls.
This weekend we are having our Hallelujah Party then next weekend it is the 5th Sunday Fellowship (the guys have to serve the girls) and then in a few weeks it is Thanksgiving and then Christmas, it just goes on and on, within a few weeks 2007. What have we done with 2006?
We have now decided to give up the Fireworks Warehouse as a fund raiser. Most of us that have been working it for the last three and a half years are ready to give it up and Trust God - It's time to practice what we preach - He will make a way!
So we are stepping out.
Adding on to the building, giving up our biggest fundraiser and reaching into areas we have never gone before. Also; we are recognized on campus now; that happened about a month ago, so now we can work the campus the way we are supposed to. 50,000 college students in Brazos county alone!
I long for the day when every service someone is being filled with the Holy Ghost and someone is being Baptized in Jesus name! Faith, Trust, Work, Prayer, Fasting; all of these and more play a role in getting us to where God wants us to be!
The Brazos Valley is our world - We MUST reach the souls here within our midst. I read the other night where over 34% of CS is single and the average age is less than 24. Then another article stated that less than 50% of American households (families) are composed of a married man and woman... What a different world we live in compared to 30, 40 or 50 years ago. How can we reach them any other way, than letting them feel the love of Christ through us??? We must do all we can to reach that soul, the one that is dying for someone to love them! We must reach them and let God work on them! We must trust God with the work of the Spirit! We must do the work of the evangelist. Reach Souls!
At times through out the year we tend to back off of our effort to reach souls, back off of our desire... we are so busy, that is our excuse! But this year must be different! This year we must press on! Through the trouble - Press On! Through the Trial - Press ON! Through the Holidays - Press On!
Here we go AGAIN!

How Complicated is Your Life?


Those of you in school and college sometime feel overwhelmed by life. It also happens to the older set too. No one is excluded.
I was going through a field just after sunrise last Saturday morning and found this little net had been constructed Friday night. Actually there where "many" of these little bug catchers all around. An industrious spider had built this one magnificent structure over night. What a great piece of work by a creature of God.
The Lord impressed me that my life is actually pretty simple - and can be a lot more complete if I'll but trust in the Lord and His Word and leave the big issues to Him. If nothing else, I am thankful to the Lord that I don't have to build one of these nets over one night just to survive.
Join us at Victory; We won't teach you how to build a spider's net, but we will help you learn more of His Word - and you can meet great friends too!
