What is God doing?

What a year 2012 has been.  From the Block being completed on the orphanage to the roofs final piece of metal being put into place.  The electrical workl has been started and most importantly the year has seen people come to His redeeming grace through and because of this project.  In the last year we have seen over 3 tons of food given to families who have none.  We have seen feet washed, and adorned with new shoes(over 600).  We have seenover 500 copies of the book of Romans distributed, and over 150 copies of Scripture given.  There have been countless desicions for Christ, as well as Baptisms as they stepped out to live that faith.  We have had 12 different churches send team members totalling over 70 team members work to serve the Lord in Honduras.  What an amazing God we serve to see how He has accomplished so much this year.

   What does He use to provide?

The Carpenter's Heart prayerfully seeks God's will to provide for His project.  We know anything done outside of His will is done in vain.  It is after much prayer we would ask you to join us again in 2013 to be the hands and feet of Christ.  We have made a consious effort to expand what we are doing locally as well as complete the task God has given us in Honduras.  We have been fortunate enough to meet some amazing men and women downtown.  We seek to serve as disciples out of love as we point to Christ.  Please pray for what God has layed ahead.  He will always provide the tools, people, and opportunities to glorify His kingdom.  Would you consider partnering with us as we follow Him.  You see for what ever fundraiser we may try the fat is the Holy Spirit is the thing that provides for His work.  The perfect will of God will always provide for itself,  if we are only obedient.  Please pray for his ministry.  Pray for us to always see His will, and be obedient to listen.  Pray for doors to be held open as we walk in His steps.  Pray for hearts to be open to the the grace of the cross.  Pray for His supply.

   How does He supply?

Praise God for all those who gave last year to do God's work.  We understand that it is ultimately the obedience of His people that allows us to do His will.  We can organize no meal or race that can raise money if it isn't for the people of God willing to show up and give.  Thank you for your obedience.  Please know that we see every dollar given as a gift from God that should be used for Him and His glory.  As this year rolls in we are prayerfully seeking to do things that are pleasing in His sight.  We ask that if God allows you would join us in following His steps again in 2013.
