At times I ask myself this question.  Is it worth all the energy and money to build a new facility. When I think of our congregation and our ministry, I could be well satisfied to remain as we are in our current building.  We have a nice comfortable spiritual family.

But when God takes my thoughts to his lost sheep and those hurting and caught in Satan’s web, I know God has called me and Oak Dale to do all we an in his power to love his lost children in Jesus name until they find wholeness in Jesus.

I know our current building limits our outreach and ministry.  With a better tool more ministry will be done.  With a good deal of commitment and sacrifice from our generation, many more will experience Jesus in future generations.

So, in a sense, Christ’s love compels me not to be content with our comfortable church, but to do all I can to reach as many as I can for Jesus in my generation.

As we throw ourselves into this major effort, “may the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of his suffering”.

Feb 7 is kick off, not only for the Saints or Colts, but for Oak Dale.  We’re kicking off Forward in Faith, inviting everyone to get real intentional about seeking the face of God, distributing FIF journals, and talking about Faith and Vision.   The ultimate joy and rewards we receive will far surpass that of the winning team receiving the Vince Lombardi trophy after tomorrows game.  You’re welcome to join us for the journey.

Here is another way to stay connected and pass along information as we move Forward in Faith to relocate to our Rt 219 property
