So... the vision for a sort of community based ministry out of a safe house started about two years ago with a group of people. Some things just don't happen by coincidence:
1) that group from Taylor actually meeting together to brainstorm in 2006 and continuing through 08
2) A perfect house for that sort of thing being offered for partial use and already pretty established
3) The house next door being torn down randomly right after we thought we needed a bigger yard there.
4) Meeting numerous people, when no one was even looking for each other, with like hearts who God has made a way for them to stay and be involved in ministry in Marion
5) Running into a master carpenter/plumber and old friend of my dad's who offered his expertise to help us be more effective in fixing things up.
6) Planning a work day and getting a call the next day to request a worship service to be held there just after when the work would be done. I couldn't ask for better timing for such a thing, but wasn't about to plan one myself.
One step at a time.
More to come...
Psalm 66. Vs. 5 "Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he does for his people!" What a sweet thing that God's heart is totally for his people.

Hi Julie! Pastor Butcher here. Just want you to know that I love you, we love you in Detroit - and miss you like crazy and are proud of you and your heart for people in Jesus' name. Wish we were there with you in Marion...or that you were here with us on Jefferson and Marlborough. Again, much love, Kevin
