Move that MOUNTAIN - May 13


Colossians 1:28-29
28 We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. 29 To this end I labor, struggling will all His energy, which so powerfully works in me.

God wants believers to work with Him to impact the world. He has chosen to accomplish His will by involving His children in the process. When God hears the cries of the weak and needy, He calls upon His children. When He wants to feed the hungry, He calls upon one of His own. When He wants to move against the kingdom of Satan, He involves His church. Although God could do it without anyone else, He has chosen to work through us...the Mt. Olivet Christian Church.
Hearts have been renewed, lives have been transformed and our church is on the move! Members of our church are doing all of these things, and more, in Christ’s name. He is there guiding us as we act in faith and obedience to His will, and He is preparing to bless us.
Over the last few weeks you have been called upon to pray for what your role will be in these beginning stages of The Capital Campaign. This campaign is in preparation of our new church building on Eibeck Lane, which will be approximately 20,000 square feet. The cost is estimated at $2,000,000.
To some this may seem like an enormous task that is out of our reach. But, as Christians we know what makes sense to God doesn’t make sense to the world. The ultimate goal is not just building a new church, but saving souls throughout our community.       From a Godly perspective, that is priceless.
On Sunday, May 15, there will be a time for each one of us to step out on faith and act in obedience. On this day you will be asked to commit an ADDITIONAL portion of your income towards this campaign. This is over and above your regular tithe, which you are asked to continue giving faithfully. Please understand that your weekly tithe supports and sustains the ministries and operating expenses of the church. This amount will be IN ADDITION to your tithe.
In anticipation of the pledge on Sunday pray for God’s guidance and blessing on your offering. And throughout this campaign continue being faithful and obedient with your tithe.

As we allow God to work with us and through us, together in unity we can...
MOVE that MOUNTAIN!!
