Enlarge the Place of Your Tent

We want to welcome Tim and Christine Huber from Japan! This is an exciting time for PAZ Berwyn. We are in the midst of many new things for our church. Pastor Aaron is finishing his pre-encounter teaching on Sunday as we prepare for our Spirit Encounter at their new house.
We are getting ready to launch a new youth service at Nite Light in Berwyn and we are gearing up to start a Spanish service in Chicago. God is truly on the move in our midst. The train is already moving, all we need to do is catch hold of the vision and go for along for the ride!
I can't believe it but, I will be a junior in the fall at Trinity! God is good! Annette and Esther have some exiting things planned for the kids. Please consider allowing God to bless you as you serve in children's church. We are going to experience a growth spurt in the near future. We have a solid core group and now it's time to stretch our tents.

Isaiah 54:2-3 (ESV)2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. 3 For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left,and your offspring will possess the nations and will people the desolate cities.

Your offspring will possess the nations and inhabit the city! That is God's promise to us! We are here for such a time as this, strategically placed in Berwyn to change the spiritual DNA of the city! It is our children who will inhabit the land that we possess for them! We are not going to take this territory without a fight. But, be encouraged because we have a promise in 1 John 4:4 (ESV)"4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." Our job is to be obedient to God's call, to break down the barriers, and to engage the the enemy and defeat him! You don't defeat an enemy by sitting by and watching and hoping he will leave you alone. This is war! You take the battle to the enemy and attack! We do not have the luxury of being passive observers. You know too much, and you are a threat to the enemy.

My prayer for ya'll

Ephesians 1:15-23 (KJV)
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation inc the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
