THIS IS OUR HEART FOR THE HOUSE
A letter from Pastors Matt and Sarah
Dear Church Family,
As we reflect on all that God has done this year, we are in awe of His faithfulness and provision over our church! What a privilege it is to be the Body of Christ together and that we get to be a part of all that God has entrusted to us. We have watched 206 people take their next steps in baptism this year, we have completed over 131 Serve Your City projects across Southwest Florida, and the next generation...we like to call them -- "The Freedom Generation", has been taking ground sharing their faith with their peers and revival is here! The most miraculous number of all is that we have seen 2,098 people give their life to Jesus so far this year!
We have seen the broken, restored. We have seen the sick, healed. We have seen those in bondage, leave in God's freedom! We have seen Jesus move this year like never before and we have seen lives in every generation being transformed daily! We get an opportunity to join together as a church family and sow a seed, to be kingdom builders who are making an impact locally, nationally, and globally! Isaiah 61:7 says, "And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours." We believe that God will continue to show up, and through our generosity, His name will be glorified in the SWFL region and beyond. Thank you, because your generosity helps create opportunities for people to experience a life-changing relationship with Jesus, and there is no greater impact we could make together.
We love being your pastors,
Pastors Matt and Sarah
