The Impossible Dream

I recognize the stumbling blocks in front of me but will relinquish the things I can not control to Jesus and will rely on my strengths.

I am consumed with the establishing of whitestone to the point that I am constantly seeking Jesus in this endeavor.

I have mapped out a strategy to achieve what Jesus has ordained for me to accomplish.

I have surrounded myself with people that can help achieve my vision.

I am willing to sacrifice all that I can to obtain this vision.

Each day brings me closer to seeing the reality of whitestone ministry and I will continue each day to draw that reality closer.

I have never been more satisfied in my walk as a believer than I am right now, serving all of you, serving with all of you. This church brings me greater joy than you can imagine.

whitestone ministry is designed for those seeking Jesus, those desiring to be spiritually fed, and those wanting to discover who they are in Jesus.

I am no longer a dreamer, I am a visionary. I am no longer asleep, I am awake and moving. And I want you moving with me.

Look around this room. Most Sunday’s I see about 15 people. How is it possible to build anything from this small group?

Judges 7 tells the story of Gideon. He is going to war against the Midianittes. He has a army of 32,000 men. God says “ You have to many men. Send home those who are afraid or timid.” 22,000 men leave, 10,000 remain. God says “You still have to many. Watch how they drink. If they stick their mouths in the brook to drink, send them home. Keep those who cup their hands to gather water to drink.” Another 9700 people leave and Gideon has 300 left. God says “That’s all you need because now you must rely on me.”

If Gideon’s army had been a church, they would have lost 99% of their members. But Jesus says give me 1% who delights in me and I will give them the desires of their heart. We are that 1% and we prove it each week by being faithful in our attendance and our giving.

Ephesians 3:20 "Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think."

When God’s vision becomes our vision, He can accomplish more than we can imagine. whitestone ministry is his vision for us. Let’s join him.
