The Move

This past Sunday was the big move for us at Kineo. We have been praying about where the Lord wanted us to be as we grow. The former building we met at has been a blessing to us as it was paid off and owned by our sending church. The problem is, it only help around 100 people and was limited in the area of children's rooms. So we have been planning on expanding onto that building, but realized the amount of money it would cost to build it out was more than we could raise in the calendar year. That being said, we knew God wanted to make room for us to grow in this season and we kept praying for an opening at another building or church.

Over a month ago, I met with the pastor of First Southern Baptist Church (now former pastor) on the corner of Grand Canyon University's campus to inquire about the option of renting from them on a Sunday evening. To my surprise, First Southern quickly welcomed us in and was glad to let us rent from them on Sunday evening's. Since that day, we have been planning to move on April 3rd and prepare our hearts for this season of growth.

During our first service, we had over 120 adults in the service and 46 kids in Sunday school. We are grateful to all who came and to all who have joined us at Kineo in advancing God's kingdom and being apart of transforming lives by the power of the Gospel. We took an offering at this service and 100% of what was given is being sent to Japan for relief to ministries there that are laboring to love and care for the afflicted. Our church gathered together to give over $3000! Praise God for the gifts of God's people. We pray that the Lord will multiply that dollar amount as it travels over seas and that many men and women will come to know Jesus by fruit of this gift.

My prayer is that many will come and join us at Kineo as we desire to grow God's church not with transfer growth from other churches, but with new growth from new believers in our Lord Jesus. Please pray for myself and our leadership team as we continue to faithfully preach and live out the beautiful Gospel of Jesus so that lives are redeemed.

Soli deo gloria.
