Dear Friends,
It is with great excitement that I send this email. Would you please take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to carefully read what could be the most important email that you have received today? This is URGENT!
I have the awesome opportunity of serving as the pastor for Bridges of Hope Fellowship in McMinnville, Tennessee. We are a church plant that turned 3 years old at the beginning of October 2009. In three short years, we have witnessed God change many lives for the kingdom. We have seen marriages restored, alcoholics and drug addicts set free, homosexuals loosed from their lifestyles and gloriously born-again. Praise God!! We are being used mightily to impact the McMinnville and Warren County area with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Now it is time to take the next step. We have purchased 5 acres of land that sits on one of the most highly traveled highways in the county. Everyday, there are approximately 8,000 cars that pass by our land. In our rural culture, you are never considered legitimate until you have your own church building. So, we believe God has led us to build the first phase of our new facility and the time is NOW. We have moved every step in faith and realize that the mere task of getting groups to come and help us build this building is a huge step of faith, especially starting in January. However, we trust and know that God will provide the laborers to help us bring glory to God through what others would call the impossible. We’ve been told that we can’t build anything in a recession, but God told us they were wrong. We’ve been told that we are crazy, and we might be. But the one thing we do KNOW, is that God is faithful and sits on the throne. He promised us that He will provide if we ask. Work will begin as early as this week!!!!
YOUR PART…. We are simply asking for you and your church to pray about and consider bringing a team from your church or ministry to help us accomplish the task that has been laid before us. We need both skilled laborers and assistants to come and help us show the people of Warren County what the Body of Christ really looks like. Great, now that your in…
1.) Open the attachment, which is a complete time line and list of needs to be filled. All materials will be provided, but you will need to bring your tools with you. Also, attached is a photo and layout of the building.
2.) Contact Keith Carey (kcarey@trinitydesigngroup.com) who is overseeing the coordination of volunteer teams for our building project. If you do not get a response, please call 615-848-9292. He prefers to connect via email for the first contact.
3.) Gather your supplies and hit the road!
WHAT IF YOU CAN’T BRING A TEAM…. We would love for you to come help us, however, if you can’t, there are a few other ways you can help us reach this community for Christ.
1.) Pray for God to provide the teams needed to accomplish this task, the safety of every team involved, the needed finances to finish it, and for God to be lifted up and glorified in the entire world because of our faithfulness and obedience to carry out His command.
2.) Give a financial gift to help us succeed in this project. Maybe you or your church could take up a love offering or give out of your missions giving to help us.
3.) Pass along this request to other churches or individuals you know of who have teams that could help us.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this request for help in impacting a community for Christ! If you should have any questions, I am always available to answer them at 931-815-8870 or by email at pastor@gethope.info. We look forward to seeing you soon!
