Partnership

In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling. (Exodus 15:13)

Thank you, Lord, that you have chosen us to serve you in mighty ways from this place. We are grateful for the continued partnership with Evangelical Chinese Church in the process of transferring this property to Creekside. We ask for protection and guidance of our churches. We ask for protection of families and individuals so that we may be strong to serve you.

Grateful

How great is your goodness which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow on those who take refuge in you. (Psalms 31:19)

Thank you, Lord, for the godly partnership we have with Evangelical Chinese Church in seeking your best plan for both churches.

Trust in the Lord and do good ...

"Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord and he will give you your heart's desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you." (Psalms 37:3-5)
 
Please pray for the Creekside Leadership Team and the Evangelical Chinese Church leadership scheduled to meet soon on the next step in negotiating a closing date for purchase of this property; that we would have clarity and unity as we move forward.

Please pray that both churches would commit all to the Lord and trust that he will give both churches the desire of their hearts.
