Going to Long Beach

You guessed it and as you expected, if you prayed, God is bringing us to Long Beach, CA next summer. This past week the director of the Beach Plaza Hotel (corner of Ocean Ave and Cherry) called and agreed to a great price for us staying at his hotel next summer. So, yes, the Long Beach Campus Crusade Project is official. We are so excited for all that God has done to orchestrate the events and vision to this point. We are excited for what God will do in the lives of the staff and students we are taking there but even more excited for the work that will happen in trusting God to plant organic spiritual movements all over Long Beach. Continue to pray that God will go before us, show us where and who we should spend our time with and that we will listen.

The amazing thing about talking with the director, Woody, is that I asked him if our price included taxes and he said no. I mentioned I will have to raise some additional finances to make the budget happen and immediately he cut us a $1,000 discount off his already low price. His next question was if our students had already found jobs for the summer. I told him we didn't even have student applied yet. He asked "when they do, could they work for some of our companies in Long Beach?" Isn't that amazing. The two things I have been trusting God for (housing and jobs) are being taken care of immediately.

I look forward to the relationship that will be built with woody, his staff and I pray that we will be a blessing to their hotel. Thanks for your prayers. If you live in CA, we look forward to hanging with you and building God's kingdom in your backyard.
