Sacred City Church Update

I think my summer vacation to Wisconsin Dells was preparation for the past two weeks of my life.

While in the Dells, my family and I went to a huge amusement park called Mt. Olympus. They had some of the best roller coasters I have ever ridden. One of them was called Hades. Hades whipped me around, brought me to the highest point in the whole park, dropped me to the lowest part of the whole park, gave me whiplash, and ultimately made me smile uncontrollably and gave me a great story to tell my friends and family all in about 1 minutes time.

God has shown Himself faithful to us in the past two weeks. We have had incredible highs, gut wrenching lows, but we have a great story to tell.

Within a few hours of my last blog, God gave us an amazing building in a perfect location. Right in the middle of Davenport, surrounded by homes full of families that are unreached. It was a HUGE answer to prayer!

Then last wed night, we hosted our first ever Sacred City Church service. 146 people showed up and we had an intimate communion service that was marked by the sweet spirit of God gracing us with His presence.

It was a picture of the peace of God in the midst of the storms of life.

Then at 1 o'clock on thursday, we had an open planning meeting and over 20 leaders showed up to help move us forward. It was a special moment. Everyone was really encouraged by the first service and loved the vision of Sacred City Church. It was very clear that God had orchestrated a unique set of events to get us exactly where He wants us. God has brought worship leaders, preachers, leaders, outreach experts, designers, carpenters, chiropractors, managers, accountants, planners, and students together under one vision in less than a weeks time. Even when the waves are rocking the boat, Jesus is still in charge!

I thank God for his Sovereignty over all the kingdoms of men.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support! Many of you even took it to another level and sent us money to help us get started! I really cannot tell you how much it has meant to me, to know that you believe in what God is doing here in the QC. You are awesome, and I thank God for you!
