Building of the House
There has been so much done here at the Ministry house! There is now heat in the first level, some insulation installed, partial cabinets in the kitchen, little duct work done in the second level, and sheet-rock hung on the whole first floor. We have been working on wiring the second level so we can insulate up there as well. I think that heaven probably doesn’t need all the extra hot air it’s getting from our second floor! (Lol)
However, in spite of all of the exciting progress, we have realized that we have been working so hard on the construction of the building that we have lacked on our end of keeping up with studies and building our own house within us as much lately. The Lord has really laid it on our hearts to re-focus more of our time on our relationship with Him and the study of the Word!
We are asking you to pray for us this week December 5th through December 11th! As a family we are going to set aside 8 to 10 hrs per day to study the word of God, learn from good bible teaching DVD’s and books, do topical studies, praise and worship, have personal prayer time and to pray for one another and for others. The Lord has been reminding us that asking Jesus in our heart is only the beginning, (He is the unfailing foundation, one that will not sink!) and that our task after receiving that foundation is to constantly learn and grow, and to build the house on it out of material that will withstand the fire, (trials and tribulations)… to build a house that won’t burn up when tested, as stated by Paul.
We would really appreciate your prayers this week, please pray that God would show us everything He wants us to learn, and that the boys would all grow in their relationship with the Lord as well! Thank you for reading and keeping up with what’s going on at The Ministry House.
Love you in Christ, Joey, Hazel and family
P.S.
We have been very blessed here, with the company of other believers (friends) coming to visit and pray for this ministry. I want to say thank you to all that has come, and encourage anyone else that feels led by God to come and feel welcome!
P.P.S.
In case you haven’t heard, we were very blessed on November 22 with the birth of Jeremiah Aaron Orebaugh, he makes number eight in our little army here. Hazel and baby Jeremiah did very well and we thank God for a healthy boy!
