Over 1,000 people attended, but the best part was the way the FW residents reached out to extend a helping hand when all the excitement died down. \u201cI sent out a text, and we had at least 12 college students come downstairs to clean-up and get the building ready for church, joyfully serving in this way at a moment\u2019s notice. At one point when we started cleaning up, the woman who was in charge of the event started to panic and told us that she wouldn\u2019t have enough money to pay for the students who came to help clean-up. When we told her that the students were there to volunteer free of charge, she was so relieved and amazed.

She was greatly missed, apparent in only 5 hours of her absence! The emptiness of this void was met with an extreme and tender desire to pray and lift up Heather and her family during staff meeting, and to refer to how greatly she impacts this ministry throughout the rest of the staff meeting. This &#8220;victory&#8221; represents how the body of Christ works: when one member suffers the whole body does likewise (1 Corinthians 12:26). We wait eagerly to rejoice in God&#8217;s healing of Heather&#8217;s body, in His good will and timing.\u201d\u00a0 <em>&#8211; Rachel Baily, VOH Intern<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faith Church \u201cI was speaking with a believer of about six weeks today when he related a marvelous story of God\u2019s grace.\u00a0 One of his friends had sworn off church, but accepted the new believer\u2019s invitation to attend Faith Church.\u00a0 Afterward the friend shared, \u2018This is the first time I ever went to church and&#8230; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.faithlafayette.org\/church\/october-26-celebrating-our-victories\/\">read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4915,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[14549,95],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.14 -
