A new place to worship

For those who read this and want a new church to go to I recommend Blessings Community Church-
http://www.blessingyou.org. and not because my uncle is the senior Pastor....but because he is "going out on a limb" and taking a tremendous step of faith.

For almost 20 years he had been working with Congregation Beth Simcha and something tells me that he would have been content with another 20 years there. However, the Lord seems to have called him to a new outreach. And he had a Abrahamic-type decision: to stay where he was or to step out in faith, not knowing which direction he was going to go-leaving the comfort of a family that loved him and going someplace new-listen to the voice of the One who called him. So he has decided to follow the Lord and go to a new place.

Now if you remember the story of Abraham, it wasn't easy being in a new place, but in the end he ended up with tremendous blessing and being the father of a nation. Now I'm not saying that my uncle will be the "father of a new nation", but he is seeing Him who is unseen and being braver than many who only see what is seen and don't take any chances. To paraphrase Robert Kennedy: "Some men see things as they are and ask 'Why?', through faith I see things that are unseen and ask 'Why not?'".

And I pray that the Lord will bless Jesse and this new work that he is doing for the Lord.
