Friends I would appreciate your prayers right now.
Our mother church is deciding to sell the building where we have currently been meeting at for the past 4 years. When we planted this church we were blessed with inheriting this property from a dying church.
We are located in an ubran setting in the heart of Miami where many poor, broken, and marginalized people live, and our mother church and the council feels they are no longer able to cover our financial shortfall. They decided to relocate us to a different area in Miami as a replant with the proceeds of the sale being part of our fundraising campaign. Sunlight Miami is a thriving community of faith with influence in the community for the past 4 years but as a leadership team we understand the financial instability. But it's a tough situation to be in nonetheless.
Pray that we can lead well and with love throughout this transition. That I can lead with discernment as many will lament and grieve the loss of many memories build and bridges built into this community. People coming to faith in Jesus, being liberated from addictions, and marriages being set free. I'm trusting Jesus out of a posture of rest and freedom that He will carry us through and that because of our union with Jesus and the resurrection of Jesus, the life of the Church does not depend on a place, but on a Person.
