As I walked into the BCM for the member meeting on March 18 I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. The last time I was in that big room (August 2017), the Immeasurably More Finance Team was delivering news about Northstar being denied financing through traditional avenues of funding. At that meeting, we proposed to use a more nontraditional source. To be quite honest, I was terrified about how the church would respond.

  • Would you lose hope in the project?
  • Would you think the money that’s been raised has been for no seemingly good purpose?

Well, my sense of relief last Sunday came from knowing how far God brought us as a church from that last meeting. Not only was the church on board to seek out financing through Ziegler, but God had poured out MORE large, unplanned donations. Once again He reminded me that He is delivering immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine.

We’ve received a thumbs-up from Ziegler for financing, and in the next two weeks will be deciding which contractor to partner with. Our goal remains to move dirt in August. Join us in prayer as contractors submit their proposals and we decide who will be the best partner to carry out this community building. Pray Northstar and the community will continue to unite as this building becomes a reality and that new supporters will join us prayerfully and financially. As we look at where we are today, let us not forget where we’ve come from.
