What will happen?
We trust God for moving hearts and minds into the places He desires.
We can never truly know the inward things that happen, but we have been privileged to hear wonderful results of obedience.
Our prayer is that each church family be empowered in wisdom and unified in purpose.

What if Peter had stayed in the boat when Jesus said, “come?”

Is it boat-launching time in your church?
Now it came about that He and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. Luke 8:22
And they launched out. We can do no less considering all He has done for us!
