Rice Campus Update

Yesterday was our grand opening service at Living Hope Rice. We had just over 100 people attending. Eight new families from the Rice area attended for the first time. What a great day of celebrating the birth of a vision. I am so proud of all of our workers. They work together, have great attitudes, are extremely friendly and are working in their giftings and passion. I am especially proud of Pastor Bobby & Jen. They are doing a great job in laying a foundation of what our vision is for Living Hope Rice. It takes a team, and God has blessed me with a great one.

PS
Last time I talked about the shell shock I experienced the first Sunday in Little Falls. With two campuses and about 65 people from LF now at Rice it was different to say the least. I am happy to report that the last two weeks went a lot better. The second week the attendance was back up. We had a number of families that had been awol, all show up. The greatest part of the service was when seven people raised their hand or looked up at me indicating that they wanted to accept Jesus as savior. Wow was I pumped. One of the men has been attending my Life Group.

Yesterday in Little Falls we had another good increase. From what I can tell, the rough numbers for Littel Falls and Rice was around 300. This last year we averaged about 220.

God is passionate about the lost of our area and He is the one who is moving. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
