OH.... MY......GOODNESS

LOOK WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE!
Bro. Ken Cook preached Sunday night a message titled "What If God Does?".
Wednesday afternoon several of our men along with Bro. Cook went on Outreach to an Apartment Complex we had been working on for three years to get a foot in the door! We had a few "StreetWorks" events, but then another church came in and we didn't get the results we'd hoped for. Our StreetWorks Director Bro. Paul Villarreal walked in the door and the other guys stayed in the Van to pray!
So here is what happened... Paul walks in and asks for the contact lady he was acquainted with by name. The receptionist said ... Go on back she is in her office. He walks in and she is on the phone... Her mouth drops open and she motions him to come in. She hangs up quickly and says... "You come here guy and give me a hug! I was just going to call you! The other church dropped the ball and we want you guys back!"
and..... then went on to open the door to the following:
She took him in and showed him a room we could have for Bible Studies or what ever event we wanted to hold there.
She requested Prayer Warriors to walk the grounds and pray anytime we feel like it!
She requested Weekly Bible Studies from our team for:
Youth
Girls Etiquette Classes
Boys on how to treat a Lady
Stay at Home Moms
Elderly
Once a month StreetWorks!
She offered to make the fliers herself if we would pass them out every week!
She wants us to do Birthday Friday once a month for all the tenants!
She said "I am giving you this Apartment Complex and telling the tenants you are our church!" 289 Units! 1500 people live there!
...there is more...
She said she had been bragging about New Life to other Apartment Managers and they are wanting to get in contact with us.
The Apartments are owned by a Corporation who has 39 other Complexes throughout the Metroplex and they are going to be calling us for the same things!

Tuesday night the Lord spoke to us through Tongues and Interpretation saying He had heard our request and had seen our heart and would give us all we asked for if we were willing to do the work!
What if God Does?... The doors were already opened before we even got there! GOD DID!
