It has been a while since I posted anything regarding our new church campus. Today we had our all time high attendance with 193. In about 18 months we have gone from a handful of people in my living room to this vibrant church that is reaching people with the good news of the gospel. One couple that recently got saved told me today how amazed they are at the cahnges taking place in thier lives.
One of the things I love most about FOTP Grapevine is that the people practice extraordinary generosity. Last year we combined witht the Keller campus to provide over 460 pairs of new shoes for the 300 foster children in Tarrant County. We also provided (who knows how many) teddy bears for the national adoption day. We planted our fist ever community garden. In addition, our contributions exceeded our budget and we gave $90,000 to our Live It Forward building fund.
Combined with the Keller campus we had well over 2000 people in attendance today. Threee years ago on our first Sunday at FOTP, there were 1,200 in attendance.Read the following recently and it reminded me of FOTP:
"But when believers live in the power of the Spirit, the evidence in thier lives is supernatural. The church cannot help but be different, and the world cannot help but notice." - Francis Chan author of Forgotten God
