LOOKING FORWARD As we look to the future, we believe God is leading us to continue coming along- side other churches in our community and around the world, to offer support and encouragement. Calvary Church has a rich history, and with this age comes wisdom gained through experiences (both glorious and frustrating). It is our desire in this season to not hoard what we’ve learned but to humbly care for and serve other churches. We would like to centralize this work, much of which we have been doing for years, under a single project. This project will have a three-fold goal of training pastoral residents, planting new churches and strengthening existing churches. Our hope is that any funds raised above the remaining balance for the Grace Beyond project will become seed money for this new project. On the pages to follow, we’re sharing stories of ways the work of this project has been happening already. Be encouraged that the Lord’s work in this area will continue on as we move into the future He has planned for us. This is what the Lord says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 53:16-19 15 15
