Church! at bethany will be three years old in the Fall. We have met at a Middle School for most of that time. We feel that God is leading us to move forward in trying to find a 24/7 facility. We have a space that we think would be great however when you crunch the numbers our rent would increase 3x.
I’m caught in the tension between having faith and being good stewards. 
On one hand if God is in it then He will provide. In Genesis 12:1, God told Abraham to, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you.”
On the other hand Jesus said in Luke 14:28-30, “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, ‘This fellow began to build and was not able to finish‘”
I’m sure there is a balance and we’re trying to find it.
