build His house

I have come to the conclusion that the best place our heart can be, is to be passionate about building the church...  His Kingdom... 

When Mark and I first went to Bondi to begin the church we were excited at the prospects of doing something incredible for HIM...  I remember our first big event where we sent out flyers and paper advertisements etc...  and the day arrived... and we had ONE guest...  I went to the bathroom and fell to my knees and cried out (with a sob) "Lord I don't know how to build your church!"  and the answer came back so loud and clear "I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" "You just keep fishing, and being faithful... and in a moment... the nets can be full" 

I have held on to this promise for years now and I realise that building through the tough times has made us determined not to give up.  If I can encourage anything in a person it would be live to build HIS church... build His house and He will build yours...
