Just Enough

Posted on May 19, 2009 by Buddy Champion

Just enough!  After months and months of prayer and hard work, we have received “just enough” commitment to continue on the path of improvement so that we can reach more people for Christ.

Sunday, we celebrated some great milestones:

• The total pledges and offerings that have been given – and committed – over the next three years amount to $4,346,182. (as of 5/18/09)  That’s the largest pledge in the history of the First Family!
• The great news is that we already received $973,023 dollars of our total pledge! (as of 5/18/09)  This will help us to avoid paying interest payments on borrowed money until a later date!
• The bank waived closing costs, appraisal fees, and some other anticipated expenses.  That is rather unusual for this type of transaction!

We have just enough to continue down this road.  However, we don’t have enough to just coast for the next three years.  Several things need to happen:

• More people need to join this exciting adventure!  550 families and individuals committed to this endeavor.  Many of you should still join us on this journey!
• As the economy re-ignites, we need for those who can to surpass their giving estimates to do so.
• Most importantly, we must continue to reach those around us as we fulfill the Great Commission.

These are exciting days, and we have many more exciting days ahead of us as we anticipate what God will do.  As a part of the First Family, commit yourself to prayer and faithfulness so that He will have a Family that He can work through.
