Sherri,

I think this is a wonderful thing you all are doing.

I have prayed much that the Lord would enable us to do something like this.

That has been a burden of mine for a long time. Seeing what you have been blessed to be able to do has encouraged me.

Thanks!

I just saw this, this morning.

It brought tears to my eyes. It is just wonderful! May God bless you and your church many times over.

Sherri, thats AWESOME!!! the Church would be wise to follow the model of your example.... there could perhaps be more ministers salvaged through this method of love and compassion....

the "Good Samaritan" mindset towards ministry, I feel is lacking....

Thanks for the encouraging words, everyone. This is something we have felt strongly about for many years, and it was a real God-thing the way this house came to us. Sometimes it takes years to see your dreams fulfilled, but God always comes through.

Now.....we have other dreams.......we're waiting on God.

Rgcraig referred to the prophet earlier. Lloyd Bustard was at our church about 18 months ago,and we had just put the earnest money down on this house and land, but he didn't know anything about it. We had already decided to make it the Elisha House, and then he prophesied that we would be doing a home for wounded and burnt out ministers. He had no idea that it was already in the works, so it was a great confirmation for us! No one in our church except the deacons knew anything about it before that night.

Brother Lloyd Bustard was at CLC out here in Tempe a month or so ago. He is awesome. He totally gave a great word for a man that had lost his wife and Bro. Bustard had no clue, but God used him. It was awesome once he spoke the word out of his mouth it was like "Oh man!" Right on!

I don't know the names of the colors. They were kind of like a cocoa color and then a lighter shade of the same thing. My sister's whole house is painted in this darker cocoa color and it actually goes with everything. It's beautiful!
