One Purple House


One Purple House.
A history like no other. 

Ready for transformation.
Declarations of the highest.

One group of 20' somethings, 
excited for the journey this entails. 

Numerous hearts ready to be restored. 

Through Jesus
hearts will be saved. 

Through Jesus, 
testimonies will be made. 

Have your will, Jesus. 

One Purple House. 
What wonders of the Word.

Through Jesus. 
What Disciples will be made. 

A step closer to revelation. 




God we lift this up in your name.  The opportunities that have risen, we thank you for them.  Every day we are reminded that there is great power in the name of Jesus.  Great power in your LOVE, and GRACE. Grant us the ears to hear, the eyes to see and the faith to be abiding to your word.  Whatever this purple house may become, we pray that it becomes a light onto the word.  A safe place.  We pray into the word given of dark clouds above, and the way that your Holy Spirit being over this city moved these clouds of darkness away.  Break the chains of the city, restore their hope and faith.  
Power in your name, Jesus. 
What power.
Amen.

Learning to CLING

At first I gave my life to God during a time of deep grief.  I needed a reason to believe there was something bigger and stronger than the pain I was feeling. As time went on I continued in my "faith."  When times were good I praised Him. In times of pain I questioned him, yet I never truly felt the same as the night I first surrendered to Him. It seemed through the ups and downs I began to slowly drift away. It wasn't util I stepped out of my comfort zone and saw how others all around the world were worshipping the same God that I began to question my faith.  My seemingly solid faith. It seemed their priorities were every different than mine. When I struggled to go to church once a week, they managed to go every night. When we were called to open our bibles, I flipped to the table of contents while others were already finished reciting the verse.  Their commitment was far greater than mine.  Their willingness to surrender came with willing hearts.

The Power of a Smile

Stop correcting "i"The smell of burnt coffee beans fills the air. I can hear buzzes of cellphones, murmurs of friends talking in line- and the occasional whoosh of the expresso machine. As I look out the small coffee shop window I see a diverse city, a puzzle of God's wonderful creation. This week I have had the opportunity to connect with many people, all in different part of their life.  Conversations have ranged from embarrassing subway stories, to struggles within the health care system, to future hopes and dreams.  I answered the question, 'Where is Maine?" so many times this week I can not keep count.  We are currently partnering with the Salvation Army in Harlem, New York. During the day we help at a food kitchen- mainly creating relationships with the community; loving them and praying for them.  In the afternoons I help in a classroom of 1st graders, their teacher being another young college student. She is currently in school to be a lawyer...

A God of Grace

            Life has a way of becoming at times over bearing. Between essays, work hours, and times of trials it may be very hard to see the good in situations.  We may cry out to God in these times, questioning how long this pain will last, and what tomorrow may bring.  Jesus said, "The one who endures to the end will be saved." (Mark 13:13)  Peter promises the tired and broken hearted Christians, "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself, restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you." (1 Peter 5:10)            It is assured in the Bible that God will not cause us to fight these hardships of life longer than we can endure.  Though at times the weight of the world feels heavy upon on shoulders, God is there is there to remind us always that He is the God of all grace, peace and mercy.  It is said, "Through many t...
