Assets for the Kingdom

We are dreamers. We have been dreaming for nearly 20 years.

God blessed us with a piece of land 16 years ago. We were in Gainesville, FL speaking at a new place when a woman who heard us share that night asked us what our plans were for the next day. We were driving back to NC but decided to meet this woman for lunch. During lunch she asked us to share with her our vision. We shared about planting a fellowship for everyone 1000 people in our city, state and country. We talked about caring for 1000 of India’s orphans. We talked about a farm in which we train farmers in better farming methods to increase their crops. We shared for over an hour. Finally she asked, “What do you need to do this?” Without overthinking it we responded that we needed $65,000 for land. She took out her check book and wrote us a check that she called “seed money.” We thanked her and said goodbye. We have never met her again.

When we got in the car and looked at the check it was for the total amount of $65,000! Isn’t God amazing?! He provided this land years ago and we have been dreaming ever since. We have a plan in place of how we want to develop and use it. You can read about that here. Thank you for following our progress through the years.

On March 10, 2018 we dedicated our first facility on this land with prayer. We had a group of visiting pastors from India and abroad and wanted to have these men of God pray over this new building. We know they are not just buildings but assets for the Kingdom that allow us to do much more than we could before. Over 400 hands have been laid on the building in prayer this month. We are so thankful for a team of partners that believe in the power of prayer.

This new facility will be used as a dorm and classroom for the Training Center this year. Students start arriving on July 15 and the final touches are being put on the building. You can continue to watch our Facebook page for progress updates.

It was a great joy to stand in this completed structure that we have been dreaming of for so many years. It is as Solomon spoke of in Proverbs 13:19- “A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul”…

Through the years of waiting and praying there are many verses that God has used to encourage us. We want to share some of those with you.

“The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.” Psalm 28:7

“Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.” Revelation 14:12

“And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” Romans 5:5
