We have already been given the green light to go! Jesus gave us our marching orders when He said, “Go and make disciples of all the nations…”(Matt. 28:19,20).
We here at the First Church of God are taking our mission seriously. We are doing anything and everything we can to reach as many children, students and adults as we possibly can!
That is why we are so excited about this capital campaign! The title, “WORTH IT… The Legacy Continues” says it all. This campaign is absolutely“WORTH IT.” It is “WORTH IT” because students desperately need to know that God loves them and has a great plan for their lives! It is “WORTH IT”because students in this area are in crucial need of a place to gather that is wholesome, positive and Christ-centered. It is “WORTH IT” because we believe this facility will become a training center for student ministry leaders and students, not just in this area, but from all over the United States and around the world!
The sub-title: “The Legacy Continues” speaks volumes about the history and tradition of this church! This is a church with a legacy of being on the cutting edge of taking risks, making sacrifices, and doing whatever it takes to make disciples.
I am reminded of this legacy every time I drive down Camargo Road and see the church building on the hill! I am reminded of this legacy every day as I watch parents and children flow in and out of this building on their way to and from the Christian school/daycare. I am reminded of this legacy every Wednesday evening as we minister to over two hundred children and students on and off this campus. Indeed, the legacy continues as we receive the baton of faith from those who have gone before us and strive with every ounce of our being to place it into the hands of those who will go after us!
I can hardly wait to see what God is going to do in and through us over these next few months! If not us, who? If not now, when?
Pastor Jeff
