In Philippians 3, Paul declares in v. 8 "I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." As we pursue the purchase of property and the building of new facilities, we do so because of their value in helping us to proclaim the surpassing value of knowing Christ. Facilities facilitate ministry, that is their value. Please pray that we as a church family would always be ready to count property and buildings as loss if they were in any way to hinder the proclamation of Christ Jesus our Lord in truth and love.
