This past week has been such an amazing time for our family. Here in Wilsey there are around 6 families that we know of building, preparing, and some already running ministries, this is including our family, but does not include a few more families that want to come soon. A pastor from California and a pastor from Arizona both have purchased property here and feel like the Lord is going to do something amazing in this town. The group out of Arizona has come in and purchased most of main street. You see there has not been a running business in Wilsey for many years now. They have been re - doing some of the buildings for having youth revivals and for many other future ministries, this year was their third time of having the youth revival. It was such a blessing to see this happen! There was about 400 kids that came from all over the united states to be a part of it. (Wilsey's population is only 180!) Well the leaders and the kids invited us right in and treated us just like family of their own, they wanted us to do all of the events with them. It was great to see many young adults receive Christ for the first time, and other young adults break loose through praise and worship! As for my family and I “it was a very much needed awesome time of revival!" The pastor from California plans to start an aviation training program here for missionaries! It's exciting to watch the Lord randomly draw more and more christian leaders to this town, one right after another...what is going on??? There are many people in this town including us that are asking the same question, what…here in Wilsey?
We just met another family that is moving here and has purchased a few buildings on main street as well, they have the plans of re-opening the gas station, the general store, and a small café. None of these buildings are move in ready, they all have to have a ton of work done to them, but should be opened within the next few months.
As for our house, we just installed our sign out front, which is praise the Lord, because we have been working on our sign since day one. We also have torn off one of the big eye sore off the side of the house (a gross porch cover that was falling down) and put some siding up in it’s place. As far as the inside of the house goes, we are ready to move forward with the plumbing. We won’t have hot water yet, but pretty soon we will have installed two toilets, two vanities and one shower inside the house, it will all have cold water, but in this heat it will probably feel good to have a cold shower! don’t worry we still have hot water in the r.v. praise God.
We have been blessed by talking to the people that live in the community, the people that we have met have amazing hearts, and the community is so great to be a part of. We know that the Lord has something so great planned for this community, we can’t wait to see more fulfillment of the Lords plan! Well, hope you all have a great day! God bless- Joey
Here is a picture of the sign!!!
