I find it remarkably easy to recall the very moment when my heart was prompted to pray... "Give us Albany or I will perish." This was my 'Damascus Road' experience. This prayer now serves to express God's Vision for South Albany Community Church. Over the next couple of days I would invite you to reflect on these 7 words with me. "Give - is -Albany - or we will - perish"
The prayer begins: GIVE.
Our church is not OURS at all. The architect and builder is God. Our vision is to be a joyful expression of people depending and desiring the Favor of God.
Our vision begins with our dependence on God...no amount of thought or effort will transform our city if God choses to withhold His favor. God Himself delights in our understanding this.
“Call to me and I will show you Great and Mighty things that you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3
“My house shall be a house of prayer for all people.” Matthew 21:13
God's favor is like a Fountain of Water coming from within stone. Like a Spring of Water –experiencing refreshment for the thirsty and witnessing even stones reshaped. That is the evidence of God's favor
