* Incredible start in the new facility..

Posted by Eric Jaffe | Posted in Journey Church | Posted on 25-08-2008

There is a huge range of emotions Mary Jo, myself, and the staff are going through as a result of the amazing way that God showed up yesterday for the grand opening of the new facility. It was totally mind blowing as we received 643 people as the official count for our first services in the new building.

Wow.. something I would have never, ever imagined. If you would have told me 400 or 500 people would have showed up I would have thought you were crazy. But God showed up in huge way. The volunteers stepped up to the plate in every area welcoming people, caring for their children, giving them popcorn, leading them in worship. You name it, everyone came through in amazing ways to make it what I felt was a great experience for all.

The range of emotions flows from elation over witnessing what God did as we had 4 decisions for Christ. Exhaustion over many long days and nights leading into the new facility, excitement over what lies ahead.

Yes, what exciting days lie ahead as the people of Journey Church have an opportunity to live out the vision of Loving God, Loving Others, and serving the world with everything that we have in us.

Thank you God for blowing us away, thank you God for the precious gift of all the visitors who walked through the doors. Thank you God for all the wonderful people who we are privelaged to serve with. Thank You God for the love that you have for us. Thank you for reconciling old friends. Wow. There is so much to thank God for..

To everyone who offered support the people of Journey Church extend a huge thank you, thank you, thank you.. We love you!
