1Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob! 2Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre. 3Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast; 4this is a decree for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. -Psalm 81:1-4 (NIV)
He is Jehovah Jireh! He does provide. When evil appears to press in on all sides; when the Egyptians have us surrounded with their chariots and horsemen and spears; when darkness threatens to drown out the light, God provides! He is the Savior of His people. And we place our faith in him!
After our first full year of ministering to children and families in some of the most dire situations (unemployment, divorce and single parenting, people who do not yet understand the saving grace of God), it looked like Construction Junction Child Care Center would go out of business.
With our back to the walls and with a landlord who has done everything in her power to have us removed or evicted (regardless of the $400,000 of tenant improvements we did on her building), God opened doors that we did NOT know existed and brought us into the Promised Land.
Our child care center and our church have a new address: 280 Maxwell Court, Santa Rosa, CA 95401. We celebrated our first worship service there this past Sunday. And the child care was opened for business on March 1st! The phone numbers are the same: 707-573-7300 for the church; 707-566-3900 for the child care center.
I will provide more testimony of the doors that opened for us after God heard our prayers. He was working upstream the whole time. He will never leave us nor forsake us! Amen! Hallelujah!
