A few observations on our Revolutionary Love offering from Sunday:

• Everything we’ve collected in offerings through Sunday, both online and in our services, totals a little over $32K.  This is a great start, but still far short of the $112K we need to purchase our equipment.
• We’ve also raised around $7K through fundraisers over the last 8 weeks, bringing our grand total to around $39K.
• As the week progresses, we continue to see money come in.  In fact, I’ll probably be updating you again in a few days with a new total.  That’s very encouraging.
• We still don’t have any plans to borrow the balance of what we need.  We believe that God is going to provide it at the right time.
• Obviously, since we didn’t collect what we need, we’re not placing any orders for equipment just yet.  We had built a couple of weeks’ margin into our plan, meaning our Easter launch date at AHS isn’t out of the picture yet.
• At the same time, if something doesn’t happen soon it’s possible we will be moving our Easter launch date back a few weeks.
• I want to stress that our vision hasn’t changed, and our plans haven’t changed.  We’re still going to raise our money and move to AHS.  The only thing that might be in limbo right now is our timetable.  As I said Sunday, God will provide a “how” but he doesn’t always do it in the time we’d like.  Even so, his timing is always perfect no matter how we feel about it.
• I can’t go into much detail yet, but suffice it to say that things are getting very interesting with the sale of our building.  We’ve got more than one party that seems interested, so there’s a chance things could work out for us here.  Be praying like crazy about this, and when we have something definite to announce we’ll let everyone know.
• The bottom line:  I’m not worried about our situation.  In fact, I feel good about where we are and where we’re headed.  Sunday was one of the best services we’ve had in 7 years.  I truly believe that what’s going on at RPC is honoring to God.  And ultimately God is as much in control of our finances as he is everything else that goes on around here.
