For me, the New Year brings things to remembrance. I don’t focus or get excited about what God WILL do, but what God has ALREADY done! We can feel all warm and fuzzy about the wonderful words and clap at what God will do, while conveniently forgetting that wherever people are obeying Jesus, they are seeing the Kingdom multiply.
In 2012, Simple Church Ministry is picking up were we left off in 2011, laboring in the trenches, building relationships, planting and watering.
We are excited about our 2012 Adopt a Complex mission.
While others say come, we say what Jesus said, "GO". Not everyone will come out of their homes to join a community or group of believers, therefore, we take the gospel of Jesus to the people.
Can you picture a church of hundreds of believers but not in a mega-church facility? This is what Adopt a Complex is about. For one hour, once a week, we will come to the complex and help provide the residents with groceries, gifts for the children, meet and pray with residents to bring life, where there may not otherwise be a healthy community of believers.
Want to be a part of Adopt a Complex? There are four key areas where you can get involved.
Jesus commanded us to pray for the labourers! He did not ask us to pray for the harvest. The gospel of the Kingdom only has power as it is demonstrated and declared outside the four walls of our comfort zones!

"Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest?' Behold I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest", John 4:35.
The problem was not with the harvest, but with the labourers. Why? Because harvesting is hard work. Wherever the field, you have to get dirty and involved.
