Blueprints For the FutureThen the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so that a runner may read it. Habakkuk 2:2 During my first three months at Broadway we had an A/C unit go out and a roof leak that needed to be fixed. In both cases we had to go to the congregation to ask for special donations for the repair and, while I was amazed by the generosity of the congregation, I was also struck by the sense that everyone was waiting for the other shoe to drop. When would the next $15,000-30,000 repair come up? How long could we keep responding to these unexpected emergencies? I made a commitment to you all that year that we would get an assessment of all of the things that needed to happen here at Broadway in order to get the building back into shape. We knew once we had a comprehensive list that it would be daunting, but at least we would know what to expect. The next time a large repair was necessary, it might not be any easier to stomach the cost, but at least we would be able to cross it off our list and know we were working toward a finite goal of long-term sustainability for the future of God’s work in Council Bluffs! |

A Story From the Road19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors were locked where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” John 20:19-21 (NRSV) Most of us have gotten the “call”. The one where the person on the other end of the phone says, “you need to come, now!” |
