Living by Faith
I believe by faith that the God of the Universe has called Northside Christian Academy to be in existence in Lexington, SC. I believe that by faith that each of you has heard the call of God to be a part of Northside Christian Academy. Just as Abraham by faith, when he was called, obeyed God(Heb. 11:7-9). I believe that each of us has been called by God to start Northside Christian Academy. Therefore, we must obey by faith. The Bible says, Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power. 2 Thes. 1:11 So we ask ourselves; Do the birds of the air worry? Do the lilies of the field worry? No. Nor should we worry, but have faith. We live by faith; not by sight. 2 Cor. 5:7 The Commander-in-Chief of the universe knows our name. He has counted every hair on our head. He loves us, He cares for us, and He wants the very best for us.
Northside on Mission
Mission Appalachia:
Unforgettable: The Appalachia Mission Trip 2011
How do you describe the indescribable? How can you forget the unforgettable? Im talking about the June 4-11 mission trip to Bell and Harlan Counties in Kentucky. I was there. In 40 years of participating in mission and outreach activities, none has ever impacted me as much. We saw the best and worst of what human nature, America, and church life have to offer. The food drive was the best I ever saw. The generosity of the mountain people most of whom have very little themselves was overwhelming. We did VBS at four churches. The kids were wonderful. Many of us shed tears when we had our sharing time the last night. For some of them, who are enduring poverty and/ or dysfunctional families, our annual visits are the highlight of the year. We cleared vegetation off of the future home of New Heights Baptist Church, Pineville. God has given the New Heights leadership a great vision. Some churches and community leaders were initially hostile to that vision, but are being won over. By their truths you shall know them. Perhaps the most notable conversion story was of a woman who approached us on the New Heights property. She was contemplating suicide. She received Christ. Thus, she was saved, physically as well as spiritually. A special shout-out goes to the many of our young people who went. They not only learned missions; they did missions. One of them had an unpleasant encounter with a chain saw. Even she thinks the trip was worth it. We were moved by the robust faith of many of the mountaineers. On the other hand, many are in bondage to legalism, vice, despair, or some combination of the three. Most of the churches are small and have little outreach. But if revival comes to Appalachia, it will change this nation and the world. Is God calling you to go on one or more of our mission trips? If you cant go, is he calling you to sponsor someone? I will be forever grateful to the three brothers in Christ who sponsored me. Think about it. Pray about it. And inform yourself about our different missions options. Then do what God tells you to do.
