Our BEACON publication is released twice a year, in the spring and fall. We want to keep our entire mailing list updated on how things are progressing at Church Plant- ers to America. God has been so good to us over the years, and we praise Him for His many blessings.
We started C.P.A. back in the late 1990s with a dedication to assisting and building the local church. One challenge we face is the need for more missionaries to reach deeper into this needy world. The process of moving from God’s call to the mission field is not easy—it requires raising both prayer and financial support. Only then can a person step out in faith to plant or strengthen a church.
We are so grateful for those of you who come along- side us, interceding for the work God has called us to do. Through your prayers and financial support, we accomplish great things together.
All Praise to God
We have had our headquarters building for sale for a couple of years, and just recently, there has been some interest in purchasing it.
This winter, we narrowly avoided a major disaster. Our realtor called to say she was showing the building and noticed that the heat wasn’t working. The next day, I went over with a friend to check it out, but we couldn’t determine the issue. I called a professional, and he scheduled a visit for the following morning.
Jeff arrived on Friday and discovered that the boiler was low on water because the fill line had been shut off. Thankfully, the boiler’s safety feature prevented it from fully engaging. When he turned the water source back on, we found a puddle of water in part of the building. Jeff immediately shut off the system and advised us to place heaters in the building over the weekend to prevent further damage. He also noted that some pipes had frozen.
I was concerned that there might be multiple breaks in the system, leading to a major mess. However, when Jeff returned on Monday, he was able to isolate the affected zone with a valve. He located and repaired the one break; it was only in a closet, sparing us from what could have been a disastrous situation. He was able to fix the pipe and turn the water back on. Praise the Lord—there were no additional broken pipes!
God is good! We are praying that the building sells soon and before next winter. Please join us in praying for this need.
