Fellowship
At our stacation Men's retreat this year, we decided that we needed more time together for just the guys. To work toward that goal, we are going together to do something on the Saturday following the Community Cookout every month. Sometimes we will meet for breakfast, sometimes we will take daytrips, sometimes we will just get together for games and fellowship. First "Brother's Meeting" is October 18th..
Evangelism
New doors to our ministry, new work and new relationships are all happening with a small group of people that are mixing the BCM on the UK campus. We are excited about this life.
There is new interest in what we have going on in the community on the Third Thursday. Other ministries are excited about joining us or replicating it in other communities. As we are hitting new records for the number of people served, we are going to continue to need record number of people serving... God will provide.
As God is giving us these great opportunities to minister in our community and on the campus, our elders have also been praying about how we can improve on our "nation to nation" ministry. More to come in 2015 as God leads the elders.
Finances
For the third quarter, we were able to reduce the gap in spending less than we were given for the second consecutive quarter. We still have a ways to go to dig out of the deficit for the year ($12K), but to God, this is not a challenge.
This last quarter of the 2014 will be difficult to balance financially as we need to address some HVAC needs in order to make our new church partner comfortable and dry. More importantly, looking forward, as we share the building with
Thoroughbred Community Church, we believe that our finances will be more sustainable. We are also excited that this small group of people will grow with us as we share the building much like
Cornerstone did while they were with us for many years.
Building and Grounds
The project for the rest of the year will be the small group room. Tony Jones and Dan Thurman have already made a lot of progress but you will continue to see improvement the rest of the year as the room becomes more comfortable and useful for the various ministries that use it.
