PALM HOUSE MINISTRY UPDATE
God has done amazing miracles in the last year and a half in regard to the Palm House (an Oasis Ministry). The roof has been replaced (and some of it rebuilt), the electrical wiring has been replaced, the porch rebuilt, central heating and cooling and ductwork has been installed, the plumbing has been replaced, all the walls have been drywalled and on and on I could go. God has taken something very damaged and is restoring it which is the theme of our ministry. Our verse is Psalm 92:12 “Good people will prosper like palm trees, and they will grow strong…they will take root in your house, Lord God, and they will do well.” I wanted to give all of you who have prayed for us and all of you who have never heard of us an update. This month Matthew Oliver (FUMC) youth intern has joined our ministry team! He will be the facilitator and caretaker of the house. He will move in by the end of May. We are very blessed to have Matt on board. Please pray as God uses the next couple of months to prepare Matt for what lies ahead. Matt will share the good news of Jesus Christ with those who do not know him. He will mentor those who struggle with poverty or lack of education. He will encourage parents to love their children, and children to honor their parents. He will be a resource for hope, encouragement and practical help. He will help the people in our neighborhood to realize their incredible value in God’s eyes. He will be a spiritual presence in the neighborhood 24 hours a day to counteract the forces of darkness. If you would like more information about this mission of our church please contact the church office and one of the board members will call you back. Please pray for the Palm house work to be completed on time and for God to abundantly supply the resources and volunteers. Thank you to the many members of the church and many members from other churches that have already donated their time, money, and garage sale items! We are in need of the following supplies so if you have any of these that you are led to donate it would be appreciated in so many ways.
7’ fencing material, insulation, hardware for cabinets, sander for the floors, light fixtures, counter tops, furniture. Any monetary donations can be given to the office.
I'm so excited about Matt Oliver. He's an incredible young man with a vision of who God is restoring him to also. During our interview process, in the most humble manner you could dream possible, he told us he believes God has called him to greatness. His heart is so pure. I love it. We all need a vision like that one and the attitude to go with it. May God restore us all to a kingdom mindset - on earth as it is in heaven!
