Team Coming to Holland



Dear Family and Friends,

For the past five years so many of you have been faithful in supporting us with your friendship, your prayers, and even with some of your treasure. What amazes me about this is that most of you have never had the opportunity to really experience what it is that we do in the context of direct ministry, but all of that is about to change.

For those of you who live in West Michigan, our team is coming to facilitate an eight day Thirst Conference at Calvary Church (517 West 32nd Street) in Holland starting this Sunday (www.calvaryb.org).

Services will start this Sunday, November 25 and continue each evening through next week Sunday, December 2. The schedule looks like the following:

Sunday Nov 25, Session 1 at 9:15 AM.
Sunday Nov 25, Session 2 at 10:30 AM.
Sunday Nov 25, Session 3 at 6:30 PM.
Monday through Thursday (26th-29th) evening services at 6:30 PM.
Tuesday Nov 27, True Woman Ladies’ Luncheon 11:30AM—1:00PM.
Friday Nov 30, no services.
Saturday Dec 1, Home Life Café 9:00 AM—1:00 PM.
Sunday Dec 2, Services at 9:15, 10:30, and 6:30 once again.

Child care is provided for all services as well as clubs for Elementary, Middle, and High School students.

I know that for some, this schedule may seem like a lot. When was the last time you spent a week just seeking the Lord for a work in your own life, your marriage, or your family. Something special happens when we take the time to step out of the normal schedule, the traffic, the busyness of life for the purpose of meeting with the Lord. Your decision to join us on this journey over the course of one week has the ability to change your life forever, to truly experience something extraordinary, not because of the team, but because of an experience with God that you may have never had before.  

God may use your willingness to meet with Him in this context to spark a change in your life that has the ability to impact your family, your community, and maybe our nation. In times past, God has used the obedience of only a few to change the course of history in our nation. Maybe Calvary in Holland will be that next place God chooses to use to change the world for His glory and His honor. Will you join us?
Looking forward to seeing you this coming week.
Ben, Jennifer, Christian and Elizabeth.
