God's stirring in Culpeper is becoming more and more powerful. I truly feel like I'm in a vortex of the Holy Spirit's revival of hearts and hands in our community.
This morning, the Culpeper Ministerial Association had its monthly meeting. Once again, it was standing room only. Brad Hales of Reformation Lutheran shared a devotional from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 that reminded us all about the significance and power of what God is doing in Culpeper. After hearing Brad, I was ready to go conquer the world. The Lord really got me pumped up hearing His Word through Brad.
We heard a report from Chad Whaley of New Salem Baptist about the Homeless Care Ministry. I absolutely loved Chad's boldness. He told everyone, "If you don't participate in this ministry, you're not obeying God!" Wow! What an incredible challenge!! Some may be offended by Chad's forthrightness, but his words were the absolute truth straight from God's Word. I wasn't able to stick around after the meeting, but Chad reported that Culpeper Methodist is providing volunteers next week using Alum Springs Baptist Church. Hallelujah!
Afterward, I met with Pastor John Slaubaugh from River of Joy Church in Culpeper. River of Joy is a small church plant that needs a facility to use for its weekend worship service. Boy, does that sound familiar. That was us only a few months ago. Without hesitiation, I knew the Lord wanted me to open our doors to them. So, beginning in January, River of Joy will be using our facility for a Sunday (12 noon) service. I know it's a blessing for them, and I'm certain it will be a blessing to us as well!
This is the Body!!!
