The Lord Must Build The House!

I cannot help myself, but I must brag on how God has been good to us. Psalm 127: 1 says "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it:" God has been so good to us these past few weeks. Just a quick overview:

-Week 1 - Bro. Butler (from our home church) came down & blessed us with an 8-passenger van.

- Week 2 - Pastor Sebrell (home pastor) came for a visit & was a great encouragement to us. That week we had the greatest attendance in our Wed. night service (14).

-Week 3 - Lord blessed us with a building to rent (not the neighborhood we thought, but in the neighborhood where He wants us to minister).

We spent the next weeks preparing the building. We receive help from our dear friends, LaQuita & Daniel. Pastor Jackson & his wife, Mandy, from Metairie also came to help us in the project. We also receive lots of church items from different churches. Then this past Sunday, we had our 1st morning service. God answered my prayers and blessed us with 5 new visitors and that evening 1 soul was saved. Amen & praise the Lord!!!! I am so excited... God has shown us once again He is at work & this is His house He is building. All things in His timing.

Here are some pics (we accidentally lost some of our pics, this is all that I have):
