PRAISE AND PRAYER
We are excited regarding the progress that is being made as we bring new life and a fresh look to the church campus, and we give praise to God for the wisdom, creativity, ingenuity and artistic ability that God has granted to those who are working on the renovations.
Even more, we are excited regarding the personal and individual time, energy and effort that has been sacrificed by members of Pilgrim Rest who have given of themselves on a weekly basis towards our renovations process, and we give praise to God for each one of them and their families for the sacrifices that they have made to assist in this project.
While we continue to praise God for what He has done and is doing, we also remain in prayer as we anticipate God’s Presence, Participation and Power throughout this project. Please pray for the following:
- On February 25th, 2016, we submitted a Letter of Interest to the City of Milwaukee for purchase of the Fredrick Douglas School building. The acquisition of this school building will fulfill our current vision of having control in educating our children. Additionally, it will fulfill the legacies of Mother Harrington (who consistently advocated for children and encouraged Pilgrim Rest to create opportunities for our children to grow, learn and do), and Pastor Mixon (who consistently advocated for education, both spiritual and secular, and desired that Pilgrim Rest would have its own school). Pray that we are able to acquire this building.
- Pray That God will continue to bless our finances to have what we need when we need it.
- Pray for the architect (Toki and Associates), the general contractor (JCP Construction), the sub-contractors, and everyone who is working on this project.
- Pray for the ministry that Pilgrim Rest has done, is doing and will continue to do as God continues to bless us as we move forward.
