What a God we serve! Wow, praising him with you! I'm also encouraged for our church in Oakland as we look for a permanent home. It seems out of reach sometimes, but nothing is impossible with God. Thank you, Ryan!

I can’t tell you how hopeless I’ve felt, Kyle. “Out of reach” is an excellent way to summarize it. But it clearly wasn’t out of reach for God. Not even a little. I’m praying He provides for you in a powerful way and give you the hope to hang on in the meantime.

Wow….our amazing God way out in front of you…”faith stretching and growing.” I am constantly humbled by God’s reminders of his faithfulness, often worked out over 10 years and longer!

I have missed reading your notes, and this explains the reason. I am giving thanks for this amazing miracle and for your steadfast dedication to your church. The message to hold on when we feel discouraged is an apt one for all of us. Thanks be to God for your ministry!

Thanks so much, Adam! The thing that has been so meaningful to me is that I never stopped believing God worked miracles. I just stopped believing he cared about working them for me. So it’s been both encouraging and deeply convicting.
