<p>"...I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland."&nbsp;Isaiah 43:19</p>
<p>Last week I called the entire church to join the Northview staff and board in circling in prayer the Northview Vision, Children’s Pastor and Facility. We have been praying earnestly for several months for God’s direction, and I am so excited to share with you that God answered our prayers for a wonderful facility last week. The cost of this facility is $4950 per month plus utilities. That’s a savings of $7550 each month for our church! This savings will allow us to fund the ministries for which God has given us a vision! This vision includes our first priority, a Children’s Pastor. God knows who that person is and we’re going to circle them in prayer every day.</p>
<p>Let me retrace the miracle that took place last week. Last Monday, one day after calling the church to focused prayer for Northview’s vision and facility, Tricia and I were driving by the former Passion Church location on NW Expressway, just miles 3 miles west of our current location. I knew that Passion Church had recently merged with a church in Bethany, and after calling their Pastor Steve he told me that it was sitting empty. To make a long story short, we made contact with the owner of the building and inquired about the facility, discussed the lease, and after much prayer and discussion with our Northview Church board we decided God was in this, and that we should move forward with HIS plan.</p>
<p>The lease that we will be assuming from Passion Church will be month to month. Honestly, I wish it was more secure than that, but God is bigger than our uncertainties. It all comes back to our answer to the question God is still asking, “Is there a limit to my power?” Numbers 11:23 (GNT) I, along with our board believe that God will lead us in the coming months to our own piece of property, with an opportunity to build our own fit to purpose building. We just need to keep circling the Northview Facility in prayer every day this year.</p>
<p>Our first experience at our new location will be Sunday, February 5th. That means our last worship experience in our current building will be this Sunday, January 29th. Our desire is to be out of our current building by January 31st to avoid another month of our current rent.</p>
<p>It is important that we all remember that the church is not a building. Northview is not a building. We, the people, are the church! When God gives a vision, He makes provision. We believe that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He will provide a facility for a group of passionate Christ followers in NW Oklahoma City who have a bold and courageous vision! We will do our part by taking a step of faith when God calls us to get out of the boat and follow Him at any cost!</p>
<p>Blessed Beyond Measure!</p>

<p>Yesterday we began 21 days of focused&nbsp;prayer&nbsp;as a church. We are praying circles around the unique vision that God has given Northview.&nbsp;It's a vision eight years in the making. It's a vision worth giving your life to. It's a vision beyond our resources. It's an “Only God” vision that can only happen through our circling it in&nbsp;prayer.</p>

<p>There are higher heights and deeper depths in&nbsp;prayer&nbsp;and God wants to take you there. God wants to take us there as a church. What a privilege to join you in this&nbsp;prayer&nbsp;journey!</p>
<p>My hope is that this 21-day&nbsp;prayer&nbsp;challenge will begin a new chapter in your relationship with God.<br />

<p>Have a blessed Monday!<br />

<p>During the months of Oct. and Nov. we will be collecting winter coats and caps of all sizes to be distributed to those in need in our city as the colder months approach.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition to our Coat and Cap drive this fall, we will also be adopting families for the holidays. &nbsp;For Thanksgiving, we will be collecting bags with the following items:</p>
<p>A turkey, 2 boxes of instant potatoes, gravy packet, 2 cans of corn, 2 cans of green beans, 2 cans of cream of mushroom, french fried onions, 2 cans of cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and 2 bags of stuffing.</p>
<p>On November 20th, bring your yellow bag back to Northview for our combined worship experience at 10:30. &nbsp;After the experience we will all be heading down to OKC Compassion to meet, pray &nbsp;and worship with the families that will be receiving the food bags.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For our Adopt a Family for Christmas, we will be making a list of items needed for the specific families we met with for Thanksgiving and providing them Christmas gifts.</p>
<p>Pick up a bag and more information about our 3 fall SERVE events at the Yellow Bag station located across from the Information Booth in Living Room at NVCC. And remember to bring those yellow bags back with you next Sunday!</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">IT STARTS THIS SUNDAY!!!</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">This Sunday we're beginning a new message journey together on relationships called, "Rules of Engagement." Have you invited anyone yet?</p>
<p>Remember, today (Friday) and tomorrow you need to make the big "invite" to the person/family God placed on your heart during the "Leave A Mark" series on Sunday, October 3rd. The prayer team has been praying for the over 300 names that you shared with us.</p>
<p>Here's how you can help us continue to get the word out about this Sunday:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Invite friends/family/neighbors/co-workers to church this Sunday.  I promise they will hear about Jesus!</li>
    <li>Make phone calls.</li>
    <li>Send out emails.</li>
    <li>Tweet it up.</li>
    <li>Update your facebook status about the new series. (this would be a great way to get the word out to thousands of people!)</li>
</ul>
<p>Take the risk and make the invite!  Who knows what God might do?</p>
<p>Praying for Conversations and Invitations,</p>

Whatever our status (single, married, parent, widowed, divorced), this is the day that the Lord has made. Only when we are “fully present” in this day will we experience joy and gladness. Join us this Sunday, October 31st, for a brand new series on relationships.</p>
<p>Remember, this is the week to make the big "invite" (for this Sunday) to the names God placed on your heart during the "Leave A Mark" series on Sunday, October 3rd. The prayer team has been praying for the over 300 names that you shared with us. This is a very important week leading up to Sunday!</p>
<p>Praying for Conversations and Invitations,</p>
