Prayer Request for Lifeline

I recently received an e-mail from my church in Spokane asking for prayer requests. Right now Lifeline is in need of a lot of prayer in our decisions for our future so I wanted to share with you the e-mail that I sent to New Community. 

Five Months ago our building was destroyed in a fire. Even though at the time it seemed like a tragedy God has really blessed us. In the last five months the kids coming to our programs has increased by over 25% and we are partnering with the school systems and the local YMCA much more closely so praise God. Right now we are trying to decide what God wants us to do with our building. All of our building except for the gym is a total loss and is being torn down this week. Furthermore the insurance adjusters, and inspectors are not certain the foundation around the old building is safe to build on so we are not certain we can rebuild in that same location. We want to rebuild but are trying to explore all the options and make sure that Lifeline will continue to remain relevant in the community. There are many partnerships and opportunities that are opening to us right now we just need wisdom on the right decisions. We want to make a decision soon, but also do not want to make a quick decision on a facility that will be permanent.

 Thanks for your prayers!
