Tonight we had the pleasure of attending a special dinner at our church for all small group and ministry leaders. The dinner for 200, was hosted by the church board and staff.
The theme was Leadership Luau. We were treated to a traditional Hawaiian meal of shredded pork, sticky rice, macaroni salad, fruit, sweet bread....it was divine!
We heard several reports from board members about how God has helped our church to recently become completely 100% debt free!!
We participated in the mortgage burning ceremony, and rejoiced with our church family!
John Cotner and Betty Cunningham spent a considerable amount of time sharing live personal testimonies about how God is using Boise First Commmunity Center to show Jesus to a lost world. We listened with tears flowing to a young boy from Anchor Bay tell us how he shared Jesus with a friend at school, and then invited him to play in UpWards sports, where he eventually asked Jesus into his heart! (our kids are learning how to show and share Jesus...and nothing makes me more excited than that!!) We heard a report from Pastor Kenny and the Teen Dept. about how God is making a huge difference in the lives of the teen population. It was exciting!
We then listened to Pastor Darrel, as he shared with us God's vision for BFCC. We are now challenged to jump on the band wagon as our church "steps it up" in reaching a lost world for Christ! We heard more testimonies about how God has been using our church to be a hospital for those who are wounded.....desperate for the love of Jesus and a safe place to mend.
We surrounded our Pastor and prayed for God to guide him, as he guides us. It was a meaningful time of prayer!
We are so thankful for our church!! It was God who led us to Boise First Nazarene, and tonight, we again have the confirmation that He is ready to do amazing things in our life, and the lives of our church family!

Great pictures, Sheila! That was a fun night! It is exciting to see how God is working!
I wanted to tell you and Talisha that I won a gift certificate to the Hawaiian restaurant. If you ever want to go sometime as a date night, let's plan it!!
Have an amazing day!
How great that you get to worship with old friends in a new place. It sounds like you are in a good place.
