So They Began this Good Work

They replied, "Let us start rebuilding." So they began this good work. (Nehemiah 2:18)

Last night was a memorable one in the history of the Chapel. The room was packed..and the membership of the Chapel overwhelmingly approved the launch of the Reaching Further campaign. Worshipping together at the conclusion of the meeting--How Great is our God--in English and Spanish, was a moment that will stay with me for a long time.

These are good projects--establishing an Emergence Campus, upgrading Student ministry facilities at Lincoln Park, renovating children's ministry space and acquiring a mini-bus for our Spanish campus, and investing in Rwanda. This is the "good work" that God has laid on our hearts.

Now is the time to come together and, by God's grace, make this happen. Here is the challenge: we need to raise $1.5M over the next 18 months. In the next few weeks you will be asked to pray and talk with your family about what part you can play. Let's stretch, sacrifice, and give our best to the work of God's kingdom!
