7/1/2008 is a day that I will never forget, not only was it the day we moved here but it was also the day that I began to realize that this dream God had placed in my heart to plant a church in Memphis,TN was what many people may call an impossible dream. Impossible that is with men however, I am so grateful every moment of my life that I serve a God that makes all things possible.
In July of 2008 we held our first small group introduction meeting at our house with 5 people in attendance. Two of which were me and my wife, the journey has been full of it's ups and downs but most of all it has been amazing. Amazing to step back and watch God do His thing. God is always faithful, He is always True.
We have now completely outgrown our small facility and have been given an incredible opportunity to move into an awesome new 12,500 sq ft facility that will give us room to grow and do so many of the things that God has placed in all of our hearts, we have set a goal to move in and hold our fist Sunday morning service there on 9/5/2010. I have had so much fun these past several years being able to meet so many new people and form so many new relationships, Eagle Heights is full of some of the greatest people I know.
Great things are happening in our church God is on the move, love is in the house and house is packed so much that we leave the back door cracked (Literally) It has always been my firm opinion that Church should be made up of three major components:
1. Gods presence is felt
2. Gods Love is demonstrated
3. Gods people are challenged
In my opinion if we major on these three things we can't go wrong, and if God be for us than who can be against us. So I ask of you if you are reading this right now, to believe God with me for even greater things to come, Lets dream the impossible dream together and then step back and watch God make the impossible possible.
Just His,
Jake
