Praise the Lord!!

Praise the Lord!

Since The Pastor's Pen is my Pastoral blog designed mostly with our church people and friends in mind, most of you reading this are probably already aware of the fact that we have been praying about a specific building situation for our church, as I mentioned in a previous post.

For those unfamiliar with our situation, I will provide just a brief summary here:

The church celebrated its seventh anniversary in October. For the majority of those seven years, the church has been meeting next to the Red Door Sub Shop in the South Salisbury Plaza in Salisbury and we have been praying for God to provide us with a building or some property that we could use for His glory.

For the last few months we have been praying for a specific church building here in Salisbury that was/is occupied by a church that is moving to a different location. This building has a good location that is easily accessible and not too far from our current location. The building itself is in pretty good shape and has room for us to grow as well as rooms for us to have Sunday School, fellowships, children's ministries, and offices. It even has a kitchen and our own bathrooms (that will make more sense to our own people than to most others who may read this).

Anyway, during the last month or so, we have been in negotiations for and praying for this specific building. We have been praying that God's will would be done and that God would provide us this building if it was His will.

Well, the Pastor of the selling church has called said that they had decided to sign our contract!! Praise the Lord!!! I am excited. I am sure if you are part of this church you are excited. I am also sure that those of you who have been praying with us are excited for us, as well.

We still have the normal aspects to deal with regarding the buying of the property (e.g. the seller has a contingency regarding the building they are buying, financing needs to be finalized, etc.), but at this point it is a go and I praise the Lord for His working in this situation.

Thank you to all of you who have been praying with us for this building.

In Christ,

Pastor Frank Sansone
