25 years!!

We have now been a church for 25 years.   It is amazing to see what God does with obedient people.

 When I think about all of the changes over the years, it truly is miraculous what God has done here.

 Building a large church wasn’t what we were trying to do when we started this church 25 years ago!

 We had no idea that our church would ever have several thousand people attending it every single weekend! 

 Twenty-five years ago, we had no idea that hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people would commit their lives to follow Jesus Christ here at Vineyard Church of North Phoenix!

 We had no idea that thousands more people would rededicate their lives to Jesus Christ here.

 Twenty-five years ago, we had no idea that over 3,000 people would be water baptized here at Vineyard Church of North Phoenix!

 Truth be told, 25 years ago, we often felt like we didn’t know what we were doing.  But God has been so good to us.  He is so faithful!  He amazes me.

 Sometimes, we still don’t really know what we’re doing!  But God has been very good to us and He knows what He is doing!

 I want to thank everyone who has been a part of changing so many lives over the years.  All of us are better than one of us, and God has done a great job.

 I think of how we started with a small closet of compassion “goods” and how God has multiplied that over the years.  He keeps blowing away my expectations…in a good way.

 I’m excited to see what the next 25 will bring!  God will bless your obedience too! (in ways beyond what you can  imagine)

Bless you Great Big!

Love,

Thora
