Sending capacity over seating capacity

Today is my first early morning back to "office" in our newly renovated and refurbished building at Vision. It's in these quiet moments in an empty building that I envision the possibilities we have as a church to advance His Kingdom.

The silence helps me see the potential and, most importantly, it helps me hear God. The empty chairs on an early (still dark) Monday morning remind me that we are on mission — and that the mission doesn't end on Sundays.

There are more people out there who need to be freed from the dominion of darkness, and I pray that Vision Church will not only be a church with comfortable chairs but with committed believers who go out into the harvest to win souls for Christ. May our sending capacity be greater than our seating capacity.

I pray that we would be a house of prayer for all nations 🙏🏼 — that in this place we would have God, and out of this place we would walk empowered by the presence and the power of God the Holy Spirit.

I know, my Lord, that you don't dwell in man-made buildings, but you know that this building is FOR you and yours to do with as you wish. So I pray that you would consecrate it to yourself, as I consecrate myself once again to follow your Word, your revelations, and your Vision for Vision Church.

Unless You build Vision Church, we labour in vain. Unless You're here, we gather in vain. You are for us and with us. Thank you, my God, for this new beginning. I can't wait to marvel at Your wondrous works. Lord, I am for you…
