The student ministry that will be housed there is called "Gravity Student Ministries"...

It is my understanding that this will be one of the biggest youth facilities in our city.

We had something similar happen, we were going to relocate, and had purchased new property, and we started getting offers for the new property.

We were not trying to sell it, but we had bought it right before a huge jump in our local housing market. Finally the offers were so ridiculous, that we went back to the drawing board and looked at our current facility and figured out a way to remodel and build at our current location (part of the new structure will be on a second story) that would meet our needs, and sold the property for a 1.4 million profit!

We have been extremely blessed.

Years ago we had a nice property that we were outgrowing so we sold it and bought another piece of land. Before we could build there, someone offered us a huge amount for it so we sold.

Then the church we were at temporarily kind of folded up. (It was a Baptist church). They really liked how we treated their property and their pastor really loved our pastor so in the end, they sold us their property (like 4 acres in the middle of North Dallas) for way under market value.

Now it has been 10 years or more and we have gotten an offer that we cant refuse and at the same time found another property on the corner of a major road and a major highway in Far north Dallas for half what we are selling for.

In the end, we will have a new church and 4 acres and no debt.

I love stories like this, it really shows God in action, working on behalf of his people!!
