Psalm 127

"Unless the Lord builds the house, it’s builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over a city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat - for He grants sleep to those He loves."

The next few weeks provide critical opportunities for us. So, I am asking everyone to increase their prayers and consider fasting for a meal, a day, or two.

1) Easter: Many people who aren’t open to church will give Jesus a hearing around Easter. Pray that God will work powerfully in the hearts of everyone.

2) TV Commercials. There is no transforming power in tv commercials. But God uses weak stuff like commercials to make powerful connections. Please pray that God use our commercials to connect with people at just the right time. (see-- http://www.newlife4me.com/our-commercials/)

3) Bud Building: Before the end of April, we will sit down with the owner of the Bud Building to see if we can negotiate a final deal. I can see God using this building in HUGE ways to expand our impact on the community. I see the need for us to pursue this vision all the time (just today I read-- http://www.breakpoint.org/listingarticle.asp?ID=11564).

Please intensify your prayers. Unless the Lord builds the house, we’re wasting our time. When He builds the house, it’s the ride you’ve always dreamed to be part of!
