Since the kick-off and celebration of the Campaign (ended November 23) we have seen increased faith, an increase in people seeking help for struggling children and marriages, an increase in attendance and giving, an increase in serving and loving others, the birth of some small groups from unexpected places. Cornerstone is accomplishing what it set out to do - help people grow three key relationships - Committed to Christ - Caring for One Another - Community because of our love for Christ.
Faith has grown. It's been evidenced in the leadership trusting God instead of circumstances. It's been seen in parents who are praying for children as they navigate the teenage years. It's been heard in stories of people who made sacrifices for this Campaign, they have gone above and beyond the norm by trusting in God's provision instead of their 401k. Faith has grown.
Help is also on the way. After the first of January 2009 Cornerstone will be privileged to partner with two Christian psychologists who will establish satellite offices on our campus. People have asked me how many people really need that ministry around here. It's literally countless. I've been approached by more people in the past month than I have in the past 4 years about their need for counseling. The need is real and help is on the way. It's part of our continuing effort to impact our community for Christ.
