God Keeps His Promises
In this world of unpredictable events and chaos, we know there is one thing we can count on. God is in charge and loves us. We may be wounded, lied to and rejected by many but there is one constant that all "Believers" can rely upon. We have received a promise that we will never be alone, we will be cared for and blessed! This confidence that we have been given can rise out of the darkness and disappointments of this life. It can tear down the greatest barriers of negativity and doubt. It can propel us into a confident future filled with hope and promise. This is what we are. If we believe in Jesus and our purpose on this earth then we will become children of the promise. This is what God calls all people of faith who follow Jesus. According to Romans 9, all followers of Jesus are "children of the promise." We can claim this promise and walk daily in it's blessing. Consider the words of the song... "I'm no longer a slave to fear... I am a child of God!" We can walk through anything. He can split the seas so that we can walk right through. He can drown my fears in perfect love. He rescued me so I can stand and say.... I am a child of God! Claim this promise and walk confidently in this life knowing that you have been saved!


Thank You to Our Partners for Helping us Build Cottages For the Homeless
Ten tiny cottages are now constructed and ready to be moved to the new site of the village for homeless residents of Kitsap County. Cottages #7, #8 and #9 are now ready to be painted by the Grace Bible Church who has partnered with the Homes For All project . Last week the Kitsap County Habitat For Humanity director called Tim to notify him that they had finished work on cottage #10 and it was ready to be transported to a new site. It is encouraging to see so many churches, businesses and service organizations step up and make the commitment to serve in this ministry.

The Habitat built cottage #10 was moved over to the First Lutheran Church parking lot this week and is already painted! We will be using the Lutheran parking lot as our storage location as we await the site selection decision.
