| Me, Co-Pastor Marjorie and Pastor Wayne Sharpe |
They launched the Powerhouse building fund campaign, with a vision to reach the lost and hurting in the community. Powerhouse isn't waiting until that new building finally materializes, though. The evening really included a challenge to begin now. They brought community service programs in to share about resources already available:
- iChoose Pregnancy Support Center. The church can change a mom's life, a dad's life and a baby's life by helping the girl facing an unexpected -- and perhaps unwanted -- pregnancy receive counseling and support.
- Raleigh Area Development Authority. The church can serve families at risk of losing their homes by helping them secure services at RADA, which offers credit counseling, housing counseling and mortgage assistance. Families are the fastest growing homeless demographic. Resources like RADA can change their lives forever!
In Matthew 20:28, Jesus explains that "the Son of Man did not come to be served, BUT TO SERVE and give His life as a ransom for many." I can't wait to hear the impact that Powerhouse Church will have on Raleigh as the church steps up to serve like Jesus, radically impacting those who cannot help themselves.
Pastor Sharpe, Co-pastor Sharpe and Powerhouse, I lift you today in prayer. With thankfulness to Jesus for all He has already done and for all He has yet to do through you. May the vision God has laid on your hearts be fulfilled in a mighty and glorious way. May the City of Raleigh be impacted by the love of Christ as it has never been before. By the power of His name, Amen
Thank you for allowing me to share in your Glimpse of Heaven!

Karen,
What a great ministry they have there at Powerhouse. They will do great things there by just "doing life" with the community and advancing the Kingdom of God!

What a wonderful ministry. I truly sounds like the Lord is working through the congregation at your church. Prayers for a great week. I'm returning the blog love from VB ;-)
Soooo wonderful! I love any organization that can help mothers make the right choice. :)
Amberr,
The coolest thing is this is NOT my church (I was a guest speaker), though we are focused on the same thing! It's awesome to see God's CHURCH coming together to accomplish the same thing, rather than just looking out for themselves. I can't wait to see our area impacted with God's love!!!
Love,
Karen
